Note

When using Menu within a React Native's Modal component, you need to wrap all Modal contents within a Provider in order for the menu to show. This wrapping is not necessary if you use Paper's Modal instead.

Props

visible (required)

Type: boolean

Whether the Menu is currently visible.

anchor (required)

Type: React.ReactNode | { x: number; y: number }

The anchor to open the menu from. In most cases, it will be a button that opens the menu.

anchorPosition

Type: 'top' | 'bottom'

Whether the menu should open at the top of the anchor or at its bottom. Applied only when anchor is a node, not an x/y position.

statusBarHeight

Type: number

Default value: APPROX_STATUSBAR_HEIGHT

Extra margin to add at the top of the menu to account for translucent status bar on Android. If you are using Expo, we assume translucent status bar and set a height for status bar automatically. Pass 0 or a custom value to and customize it. This is automatically handled on iOS.

onDismiss

Type: () => void

Callback called when Menu is dismissed. The visible prop needs to be updated when this is called.

overlayAccessibilityLabel

Type: string

Default value: 'Close menu'

Accessibility label for the overlay. This is read by the screen reader when the user taps outside the menu.

children (required)

Type: React.ReactNode

Content of the Menu.

contentStyle

Type: StyleProp<ViewStyle>
