DropdownMenu

Trigger-driven menu of contextual commands with menu semantics and keyboard item navigation.

A live, theme-aware example rendered with the published component.

Import

Import the component from its dedicated entry point to keep the dependency and generated bundle explicit.

TSX

tsximport { DropdownMenu } from "@tavojs/ui/dropdown-menu";

Normal Tavo.js applications load component styles through the Tavo.js UI plugin. If the application manages component CSS manually, also import @tavojs/ui/css/dropdown-menu.

When to use

Use it when

Use DropdownMenu for a compact list of actions such as Edit, Duplicate, Archive, or Download.

Choose something else when

Use Popover when the floating surface contains arbitrary content, fields, filters, or explanations rather than a command list.

State ownership and DOM target

Concern	Contract
State	Application controlled through open and the matching callback.
DOM target	Public passthrough props target the component root. Treat nested elements and private class names as implementation details.

Anatomy and related components

Public compound members: Root, Trigger, Content, Item

Limitations

Use Popover when the floating surface contains arbitrary content, fields, filters, or explanations rather than a command list.

Use only the documented props, entry points, and compound members. Internal DOM nesting and CSS class names can change without becoming part of the public component contract.

Accessibility

Content uses `role="menu"` and items use `role="menuitem"`.

Content uses `role="menu"` and items use `role="menuitem"`.
