Usage

Basic Usage

The Menu component uses compound parts to create a floating context menu.

<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={220}>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>View Profile</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Settings</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>

With Item Descriptions

Add secondary description text to menu items alongside titles.

<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={260}>
      <Menu.Item className="items-start">
        <View className="flex-1">
          <Menu.ItemTitle>New file</Menu.ItemTitle>
          <Menu.ItemDescription>Create a new file</Menu.ItemDescription>
        </View>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item className="items-start">

          <Menu.ItemTitle>Copy link</Menu.ItemTitle>
          <Menu.ItemDescription>Copy the file link</Menu.ItemDescription>
        </View>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>

Single Selection

Use Menu.Group with selectionMode="single" to allow one selected item at a time.

const [theme, setTheme] = useState<Set<MenuKey>>(() => new Set(['system']));

<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={180}>
      <Menu.Label>Appearance</Menu.Label>
      <Menu.Group
        selectionMode="single"
        selectedKeys={theme}
        onSelectionChange={setTheme}
      >
        <Menu.Item id="light">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Light</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item id="dark">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Dark</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item id="system">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>System</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
      </Menu.Group>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>;

Multiple Selection

Use selectionMode="multiple" to allow selecting multiple items simultaneously.

const [textStyles, setTextStyles] = useState<Set<MenuKey>>(
  () => new Set(['bold', 'italic'])
);

<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={250}>
      <Menu.Label>Text Style</Menu.Label>
      <Menu.Group
        selectionMode="multiple"
        selectedKeys={textStyles}
        onSelectionChange={setTextStyles}
      >
        <Menu.Item id="bold">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Bold</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item id="italic">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Italic</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item id="underline">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Underline</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
      </Menu.Group>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>;

With SubMenu

Nest a SubMenu inside Menu.Content to reveal additional items on press.

<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger asChild>
    <Button variant="secondary">Editor Menu</Button>
  </Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={240}>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>New Space</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
      <SubMenu>
        <SubMenu.Trigger textValue="Focus">
          <SubMenu.TriggerIndicator />
          <Text className="flex-1 text-base font-medium text-foreground">
            Focus
          </Text>
        </SubMenu.Trigger>
        <SubMenu.Content>
          <Menu.Item>
            <Menu.ItemTitle>Zen Mode</Menu.ItemTitle>
          </Menu.Item>
          <Menu.Item>
            <Menu.ItemTitle>Reader Mode</Menu.ItemTitle>

          <Menu.Item>
            <Menu.ItemTitle>Lock Tab</Menu.ItemTitle>
          </Menu.Item>
        </SubMenu.Content>
      </SubMenu>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Heading 1</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>

Danger Variant

Use variant="danger" on a menu item for destructive actions.

<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={220}>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Edit</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item variant="danger">
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Delete</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>

Control where the menu appears relative to the trigger.

<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" placement="right" width={200}>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Option A</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Option B</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>

Bottom Sheet Presentation

Use presentation="bottom-sheet" to display menu content as a bottom sheet modal.

<Menu presentation="bottom-sheet">
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="bottom-sheet">
      <Menu.Item>

      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Option B</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>

Dot Indicator

Use variant="dot" on Menu.ItemIndicator to show a filled circle instead of a checkmark.

<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={180}>
      <Menu.Group
        selectionMode="single"
        selectedKeys={alignment}
        onSelectionChange={setAlignment}

          <Menu.ItemTitle>Right</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
      </Menu.Group>

  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>

Menu uses FullWindowOverlay on iOS. To enable the React Native element inspector during development, set disableFullWindowOverlay={true} on Menu.Portal. Tradeoff: the menu will not appear above native modals when disabled.

Native Modal (iOS)

When a Menu is opened inside a screen presented as a native modal (presentation: 'modal' | 'formSheet' | 'pageSheet'), the menu content may render shifted upward. In the new architecture (Fabric), react-native-screens marks RNSModalScreen as a Fabric root, so the trigger's position is reported relative to the modal's origin while FullWindowOverlay (where the menu is mounted) is anchored to the iOS application window. Compensate by adding safeAreaInsets.top to offset:

import { useSafeAreaInsets } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';

const insets = useSafeAreaInsets();

<Menu.Content presentation="popover" offset={insets.top}>
  ...
</Menu.Content>;

ListGroup

A Surface-based container that groups related list items with consistent layout and spacing.

Popover

Displays a floating content panel anchored to a trigger element with placement and alignment options.
