Show table in sub ContextMenu

Menu items of the ContextMenu can be customized according to the requirement. The section explains about how to customize table template
in sub menu item.

This can be achieved by appending table layout while li rendering by using beforeItemRender event.

<template>
<div>
<div id="target">Right click / Touch hold to open the ContextMenu</div>
<ejs-contextmenu target='#target' :items='menuItems' :beforeItemRender="onBeforeItemRender"></ejs-contextmenu>
</div>
</template>

<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { ContextMenuPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-navigations";
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);
Vue.use(ContextMenuPlugin);

                    iconCss: 'e-cm-icons e-cut'
                },

Show UI components in ContextMenu

UI components can also be placed inside the each li element of ContextMenu.

In the following example, CheckBox component is placed inside each li element and this can be achieved by creating CheckBox component in beforeItemRender event and appending it into the li element.

<template>
<div>
<div id="target">Right click / Touch hold to open the ContextMenu</div>
<ejs-contextmenu target='#target' :items='menuItems' :beforeItemRender='itemRender' :beforeClose='beforeClose'></ejs-contextmenu>

</div>
</template>

import { createCheckBox } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons';

enableRipple(true);
Vue.use(ContextMenuPlugin);

                { text: 'Option 3' }
            ]
        };
    },
    methods: {
        itemRender: function(args ) {
            var check = createCheckBox(createElement, false, {

                checked: (args.item.text == 'Option 2') ? true : false
