Simple context-menu component built for Vue. Works well with both left and right clicks. Nothing too fancy, just works and is simple to use.
Vue 3 is supported from v4.0.0 and beyond (current master). To use vue-simple-context-menu with Vue 2, use v3.4.2.
yarn add vue-simple-context-menu Just a simple little menu to be shown where a click happens - closes after use automatically by clicking an option or outside of the menu. Multiple menus are supported - just make sure to use a unique string as your element-id prop value.
A nice feature that comes baked in is the menu placement after a click - it sits just ever so slightly under your click location - so that any hover style you had on the item that was clicked gets removed nicely. I modeled it after the macOS right click menu.
import{createApp}from'vue';importVueSimpleContextMenufrom'vue-simple-context-menu';import'vue-simple-context-menu/dist/vue-simple-context-menu.css';constapp=createApp(App);app.component('vue-simple-context-menu',VueSimpleContextMenu);<!-- This is a basic use case where you have an array of items that you wantto allow to be clicked. In this case, `items` is an array of objects.Each item has a click event that ties to a function. See the demo for a full example (with multiple menus as well). --><divclass="item-wrapper"><divv-for="item in items" @click.prevent.stop="handleClick($event, item)" class="item-wrapper__item" >{{item.name}} </div></div><!-- Make sure you add the `ref` attribute, as that is what gives you the abilityto open the menu. --><vue-simple-context-menuelement-id="myUniqueId" :options="options" ref="vueSimpleContextMenu" @option-clicked="optionClicked" />handleClick(event,item){this.$refs.vueSimpleContextMenu.showMenu(event,item)}optionClicked(event){window.alert(JSON.stringify(event))}Note - you must pass the click event-info variable to the showMenu() function because that's how we know where to show the menu.
Note - make sure to use @click.prevent.stop (or @contextmenu.prevent.stop for right click) when setting up the click handler.
