This section explains how to create a simple Menu, and configure its available functionalities in React.
The following list of dependencies are required to use the Menu component in your application.
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-lists
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
You can use Create-react-app
to setup
the applications. To install create-react-app
run the following command.
To install create-react-app
run the following command.
npm install -g create-react-app
Start a new project using create-react-app command as follows
create-react-app quickstart --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts
cd quickstart
create-react-app quickstart
cd quickstart
‘react-scripts-ts’ is used for creating React app with typescript.
All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com
public registry.
To install Menu
component, use the following command
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations --save
The above command installs Menu dependencies
which are required to render the component in the React
environment.
Add Menu component’s styles as given below in App.css
.
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css";
Now, you can add Menu
component in the application
For getting started, add Menu
component in src/App.tsx
file. Using the following code snippet.
import { MenuComponent, MenuItemModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations';
import * as React from 'react';
class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
// Menu items definition
public menuItems: MenuItemModel[] = [
{
items: [
{ text: 'Open' },
{ text: 'Save' },
{ text: 'Exit' }
],
text: 'File'
},
{
items: [
{ text: 'Cut' },
{ text: 'Copy' },
{ text: 'Paste' }
],
text: 'Edit'
},
{
items: [
{ text: 'Toolbar' },
{ text: 'Sidebar' }
],
text: 'View'
},
{
items: [
{ text: 'Spelling & Grammar' },
{ text: 'Customize' },
{ text: 'Options' }
],
text: 'Tools'
},
{ text: 'Go' },
{ text: 'Help' }
];
public render() {
return (
<MenuComponent items={this.menuItems}/>
);
}
}
import { MenuComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations';
import * as React from 'react';
class App extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super(...arguments);
// Menu items definition
this.menuItems = [
{
items: [
{ text: 'Open' },
{ text: 'Save' },
{ text: 'Exit' }
],
text: 'File'
},
{
items: [
{ text: 'Cut' },
{ text: 'Copy' },
{ text: 'Paste' }
],
text: 'Edit'
},
{
items: [
{ text: 'Toolbar' },
{ text: 'Sidebar' }
],
text: 'View'
},
{
items: [
{ text: 'Spelling & Grammar' },
{ text: 'Customize' },
{ text: 'Options' }
],
text: 'Tools'
},
{ text: 'Go' },
{ text: 'Help' }
];
}
render() {
return (<MenuComponent items={this.menuItems}/>);
}
}
Run the application in the browser using the following command:
npm start
The following example shows a basic Menu component.
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { MenuComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';
enableRipple(true);
class App extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super(...arguments);
// Menu items definition
this.menuItems = [
{
items: [
{ text: 'Open' },
{ text: 'Save' },
{ text: 'Exit' }
],
text: 'File'
},
{
items: [
{ text: 'Cut' },
{ text: 'Copy' },
{ text: 'Paste' }
],
text: 'Edit'
},
{
items: [
{ text: 'Toolbar' },
{ text: 'Sidebar' }
],
text: 'View'
},
{
items: [
{ text: 'Spelling & Grammar' },
{ text: 'Customize' },
{ text: 'Options' }
],
text: 'Tools'
},
{ text: 'Go' },
{ text: 'Help' }
];
}
render() {
return (<MenuComponent items={this.menuItems}/>);
}
}
ReactDom.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
