Installation

$ yarn add react-contexify

1998 Script tag :

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/dist/ReactContexify.min.css"/>

Features

• The context menu never leave the visible screen. You can reduce the window to check the behavior
• The callback provide an access to the wrapped component
• One menu can be use for multiple targets
• Create as many contextual menu as you want, as long as the id is unique
• Easily customizable. Theme are split into different sass file. Fifteen line of code can be enough to create a theme
• Don't rely on findDOMNode

How it works ?

Create your menu

import { ContextMenu, Item, Separator, IconFont } from 'react-contexify';

function onClick(targetNode, ref, data) {
    // targetNode refer to the html node on which the menu is triggered
    console.log(targetNode);
    //ref will be the mounted instance of the wrapped component
    //If you wrap more than one component, ref will be an array of ref
    console.log(ref);
    // Additionnal data props passed down to the `Item`
    console.log(data);
}

// create your menu first
const MyAwesomeMenu = () => (
    <ContextMenu id='menu_id'>
        <Item leftIcon={<IconFont className="fa fa-plus" />} onClick={onClick}>
            Add
        </Item>
        <Item leftIcon={<IconFont className="material-icons">remove_circle</IconFont>} onClick={onClick}>
            Remove
        </Item>
        <Item><IconFont className="fa fa-scissors" />cut</Item>
        <Separator/>
        <Item disabled>
            Paste
        </Item>
    </ContextMenu>
);

Define which component can display the menu

import { ContextMenuProvider, menuProvider } from 'react-contexify';

//wrap your component with the `ContextMenuProvider`

const Foo = () => <ContextMenuProvider id="menu_id">bar</ContextMenuProvider>;
const Bar = () => <ContextMenuProvider id="menu_id">baz</ContextMenuProvider>;

// or you can use the curried function to add the same menu for many components, it's up to you

const addContextMenu = menuProvider('menu_id'); 
const Foo = addContextMenu(YourComponent);
const Bar = addContextMenu(YourCompoenent);

All together

import React from 'react';

import MyAwesomeMenu from './MyAwesomeMenu';
import Foo from './Foo';
import Bar from './Bar';

const App = () => (
    <div>
        <Foo />
        <Bar />
        <MyAwesomeMenu/>
    </div>
)

ReactDOM.render(
  <App />,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

Add a context menu to a table

import { ContextMenuProvider } from 'react-contexify';

//You need to use a tr as a render tag otherwise your browser console will bleed !
const Tr = (props) => (
  <ContextMenuProvider id="menu_id" renderTag="tr">
    <td>{props.cel1}</td>
    <td>{props.cel2}</td>
  </ContextMenuProvider>
);

class Table extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <table>
        <thead>
        <tr>
        <th>Cel 1</th>
        <th>Cel 2</th>
        </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <Tr cel1="lorem" cel2="ipsum" />
          <Tr cel1="foo" cel2="bar" />
        </tbody>
      </table>
  )
  }
}

Api

ContextMenu (Type : React Component)

onClick	function		✘	Callback when the item is clicked
data	any		✘	Additional data that will be passed to the callback

onClick

When an you select an Item your callback will receive 3 parameters: targetNode, refs, data.

• if you wrap a single react component refs will be the mounted instance of the wrapped component
• If you wrap more than one component refs will be an array of ref

ref will be an instance of the react component only if the component is declared as a class

If you use any flux store like redux or mobx stick with it.

For more details about ref please read this

Separator (Type : React Component)

Don't expect any props. It's just a separator xD.

<Separator />

Migration from v1 to v2

Breaking changes are a pain for developers but sometimes we have too.

Item Component: You can render whatever you want now, which gives you more control.

//before
<Item label="foo" />
// now
<Item>foo</Item>

onClick callback: Having access to the instance of the react component can be sometimes really useful.

//before
onClick(targetNode, data)
// now
onClick(targetNode, refs, data)
