The submenu position can be changed by using the beforeOpen event. Assign the top and left position where you want to open the submenu to the beforeOpen event arguments args.top and args.left respectively.
In the below sample, the sub menu opens above the parent menu item.
import { closest, 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' }
];
}
onBeforeOpen(args) {
// Getting parent menu item element offset
const relativeOffset = closest(args.event.target, '.e-menu-item').getBoundingClientRect();
// Getting sub menu wrapper element using closest method
const subMenuEle = closest(args.element, '.e-menu-wrapper');
subMenuEle.style.display = 'block';
args.top = (relativeOffset.top - subMenuEle.getBoundingClientRect().height) + pageYOffset;
args.left = relativeOffset.left + pageXOffset;
subMenuEle.style.display = '';
}
render() {
return (<MenuComponent items={this.menuItems} beforeOpen={this.onBeforeOpen}/>);
}
}
ReactDom.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));<!DOCTYPE html>
