Context Menu

PreviousNext

A menu component that appears when users right-click or long-press on an element.

Context menus provide quick access to contextual actions and commands related to a specific element or area. They appear at the cursor position and offer relevant options based on what was clicked, making them ideal for power users and complex interfaces.

Example

Right click here
"use client"

import {
  ContextMenu,
  ContextMenuContent,
  ContextMenuItem,
  ContextMenuSeparator,
  ContextMenuShortcut,
  ContextMenuTrigger,
} from "@strongtie/design-system/context-menu"

export function ContextMenuDefault() {
  return (
    <ContextMenu>
      <ContextMenuTrigger className="flex h-[150px] w-[300px] items-center justify-center rounded-md border border-dashed text-sm">
        Right click here
      </ContextMenuTrigger>
      <ContextMenuContent className="w-64">
        <ContextMenuItem>
          Back
          <ContextMenuShortcut>⌘[</ContextMenuShortcut>
        </ContextMenuItem>
        <ContextMenuItem disabled>
          Forward
          <ContextMenuShortcut>⌘]</ContextMenuShortcut>
        </ContextMenuItem>
        <ContextMenuItem>
          Reload
          <ContextMenuShortcut>⌘R</ContextMenuShortcut>
        </ContextMenuItem>
        <ContextMenuSeparator />
        <ContextMenuItem>
          Save Page As...
          <ContextMenuShortcut>⌘S</ContextMenuShortcut>
