Description

An <sp-action-menu> is an action button that triggers an overlay with <sp-menu-items> for activation. Use an <sp-menu> element to outline the items that will be made available to the user when interacting with the <sp-action-menu> element. By default <sp-action-menu> does not manage a selection. If you'd like for a selection to be held by the <sp-menu> that is presented in its overlay, use selects="single" to activate this functionality.

Usage

yarn add @spectrum-web-components/action-menu

Import the side effectful registration of <sp-action-menu> via:

import '@spectrum-web-components/action-menu/sp-action-menu.js';

The default of <sp-action-menu> will load dependencies in @spectrum-web-components/overlay asynchronously via a dynamic import. In the case that you would like to import those tranverse dependencies statically, import the side effectful registration of <sp-action-menu> as follows:

import '@spectrum-web-components/action-menu/sync/sp-action-menu.js';

When looking to leverage the ActionMenu base class as a type and/or for extension purposes, do so via:

import { ActionMenu } from '@spectrum-web-components/action-menu';

Variants

No visible label

The visible label that is be provided via the default <slot> interface can be ommitted in preference of an icon only interface. In this context be sure that the <sp-action-menu> continued to be accessible to screen readers by applying the label attribute. This will apply an aria-label attribute of the same value to the <button> element that toggles the menu list.

<sp-action-menu label="More Actions">
    <sp-menu-item>
        Deselect
    </sp-menu-item>
    <sp-menu-item>
        Select inverse
    </sp-menu-item>

A custom icon can be supplied via the icon slot in order to replace the default meatballs icon.

Selection.

When selects is set to single, the <sp-action-menu> element will maintain one selected item after an initial selection is made.

<p>
    The value of the `&lt;sp-action-menu&gt;` element is:
    <span id="single-value"></span>
</p>
<sp-action-menu
    selects="single"
    onchange="this.previousElementSibling.querySelector('#single-value').textContent=this.value"
>
    <span slot="label">Available shapes</span>
    <sp-menu-item value="shape-1-square">Square</sp-menu-item>
    <sp-menu-item value="shape-2-triangle">Triangle</sp-menu-item>
    <sp-menu-item value="shape-3-parallelogram">Parallelogram</sp-menu-item>
    <sp-menu-item value="shape-4-star">Star</sp-menu-item>
    <sp-menu-item value="shape-5-hexagon">Hexagon</sp-menu-item>
    <sp-menu-item value="shape-6-circle" disabled>Circle</sp-menu-item>
</sp-action-menu>

Accessibility

An <sp-action-menu> parent will ensure that the internal <sp-menu> features a role of listbox and contains children with the role option. Upon focusing the <sp-action-menu> using ArrowDown will also open the menu while throwing focus into first selected (or unselected when none are selected) menu item to assist in selecting of a new value.
