Events

  • details-menu-select (cancelable) - fired on <details-menu> with event.detail.relatedTarget being the item to be selected.
  • details-menu-selected - fired on <details-menu> with event.detail.relatedTarget being the item selected, after label is updated and menu is closed.

Deferred loading

Menu content can be loaded from a server by embedding an <include-fragment> element.

<details><summary>Robots</summary><details-menusrc="/robots" preload><include-fragment>Loading…</include-fragment></details-menu></details>

The src attribute value is copied to the <include-fragment> the first time the <details> button is toggled open, which starts the server fetch.

If the preload attribute is present, the server fetch will begin on mouse hover over the <details> button, so the content may be loaded by the time the menu is opened.
