# Context Menu
A high-quality, unstyled React context menu component that appears at the pointer on right click or long press.
## Demo
### Tailwind
This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.
```tsx

);
}
```
## Usage guidelines
- **Use context menus as an enhancement**: Don't make a context menu the only way to perform actions. Users may not discover or be able to open a context menu, especially on touch devices or with assistive technology. Always provide visible controls for the actions that are available in the context menu.
## Anatomy
Import the components and place them together:
```jsx title="Anatomy"
import { ContextMenu } from '@base-ui/react/context-menu';
<ContextMenu.Root>
<ContextMenu.Trigger />
<ContextMenu.Portal>
<ContextMenu.Backdrop />
<ContextMenu.Positioner>
<ContextMenu.Popup>
<ContextMenu.Arrow />
<ContextMenu.Item />
<ContextMenu.LinkItem />
<ContextMenu.Separator />
<ContextMenu.SubmenuRoot>
<ContextMenu.SubmenuTrigger />
</ContextMenu.SubmenuRoot>
<ContextMenu.Group>
<ContextMenu.GroupLabel />
</ContextMenu.Group>
<ContextMenu.RadioGroup>
<ContextMenu.RadioItem>
<ContextMenu.RadioItemIndicator />
</ContextMenu.RadioItem>
</ContextMenu.RadioGroup>
<ContextMenu.CheckboxItem>
<ContextMenu.CheckboxItemIndicator />
</ContextMenu.CheckboxItem>
</ContextMenu.Popup>
</ContextMenu.Positioner>
</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>;
```
## Examples
[Menu](/react/components/menu.md) displays additional demos, many of which apply to the context menu as well.
### Using with Menu
A context menu should supplement a primary way to perform the same actions. This image card exposes actions through a visible menu button and reuses them in the context menu for right-click and long-press users.

### Nested menu
To create a submenu, create a `<ContextMenu.SubmenuRoot>` inside the parent context menu. Use the `<ContextMenu.SubmenuTrigger>` part for the menu item that opens the nested menu.

## API reference
### Root
A component that creates a context menu activated by right clicking or long pressing.
Doesn't render its own HTML element.
**Root Props:**
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| :------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :----------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| defaultOpen | `boolean` | `false` | Whether the menu is initially open. To render a controlled menu, use the `open` prop instead. |
| open | `boolean` | - | Whether the menu is currently open. |
| onOpenChange | `((open: boolean, eventDetails: ContextMenu.Root.ChangeEventDetails) => void)` | - | Event handler called when the menu is opened or closed. |
| highlightItemOnHover | `boolean` | `true` | Whether moving the pointer over items should highlight them.
Disabling this prop allows CSS `:hover` to be differentiated from the `:focus` (`data-highlighted`) state. |
| actionsRef | `React.RefObject<MenuRoot.Actions \| null>` | - | A ref to imperative actions. `unmount`: Manually unmounts the menu.
Call this after any externally controlled closing animation finishes.`close`: When specified, the menu can be closed imperatively. |
| closeParentOnEsc | `boolean` | `false` | When in a submenu, determines whether pressing the Escape key
closes the entire menu, or only the current child menu. |
| loopFocus | `boolean` | `true` | Whether to loop keyboard focus back to the first item
when the end of the list is reached while using the arrow keys. |
| onOpenChangeComplete | `((open: boolean) => void)` | - | Event handler called after any animations complete when the menu is opened or closed. |
| disabled | `boolean` | `false` | Whether the component should ignore user interaction. |
| orientation | `MenuRoot.Orientation` | `'vertical'` | The visual orientation of the menu.
Controls whether roving focus uses up/down or left/right arrow keys. |
| children | `React.ReactNode` | - | - |
