	import { ContextMenu } from "bits-ui";
</script>
 
<ContextMenu.Root>
	<ContextMenu.Trigger />
	<ContextMenu.Portal>
		<ContextMenu.Content>

Reusable Components

If you're planning to use Context Menu in multiple places, you can create a reusable component that wraps the Context Menu component.

This example shows you how to create a Context Menu component that accepts a few custom props that make it more capable.

CustomContextMenu.svelte
	<script lang="ts">
	import type { Snippet } from "svelte";
	import { ContextMenu, type WithoutChild } from "bits-ui";
	type Props = ContextMenu.Props & {
		trigger: Snippet;
		items: string[];
		contentProps?: WithoutChild<ContextMenu.Content.Props>;
		// other component props if needed
	};
	let {
		open = $bindable(false),
		children,
		trigger,
		items,
		contentProps,
		...restProps
	}: Props = $props();
</script>
 
<ContextMenu.Root bind:open {...restProps}>
	<ContextMenu.Trigger>
		{@render trigger()}
	</ContextMenu.Trigger>
	<ContextMenu.Portal>
		<ContextMenu.Content {...contentProps}>
			<ContextMenu.Group>
				<ContextMenu.GroupLabel>Select an Office</ContextMenu.GroupLabel>
				{#each items as item}
					<ContextMenu.Item textValue={item}>
						{item}
					</ContextMenu.Item>
				{/each}
			</ContextMenu.Group>
		</ContextMenu.Content>
	</ContextMenu.Portal>
</ContextMenu.Root>

You can then use the CustomContextMenu component like this:

	<script lang="ts">
	import CustomContextMenu from "./CustomContextMenu.svelte";
</script>
 
<CustomContextMenu items={["Dunder Mifflin", "Vance Refrigeration", "Michael Scott Paper Company"]}>
	{#snippet triggerArea()}
		<div class="grid size-20 place-items-center rounded-lg border border-dashed p-4">
			Right-click me
		</div>
	{/snippet}
</CustomContextMenu>

Alternatively, you can define the snippet(s) separately and pass them as props to the component:

	<script lang="ts">
	import CustomContextMenu from "./CustomContextMenu.svelte";
</script>
 
{#snippet triggerArea()}
	<div class="grid size-20 place-items-center rounded-lg border border-dashed p-4">
		Right-click me
	</div>
{/snippet}
 
<CustomContextMenu
	items={["Dunder Mifflin", "Vance Refrigeration", "Michael Scott Paper Company"]}
	{triggerArea}
/>

Managing Open State

Bits UI provides flexible options for controlling and synchronizing the menu's open state.

Two-Way Binding

Use the bind:open directive for effortless two-way synchronization between your local state and the menu's internal state.

	<script lang="ts">
	import { ContextMenu } from "bits-ui";
	let isOpen = $state(false);
</script>
 
<button onclick={() => (isOpen = true)}>Open Context Menu</button>
<ContextMenu.Root bind:open={isOpen}>
	<!-- Context Menu content -->
</ContextMenu.Root>

This setup enables opening the menu via the custom button and ensures the local isOpen state updates when the menu closes through any means (e.g., escape key).

Change Handler

You can also use the onOpenChange prop to update local state when the menu's open state changes. This is useful when you don't want two-way binding for one reason or another, or you want to perform additional logic when the menu opens or closes.

	<script lang="ts">
	import { ContextMenu } from "bits-ui";
	let isOpen = $state(false);
</script>
 
<ContextMenu.Root
	open={isOpen}
	onOpenChange={(open) => {
		isOpen = open;
		// additional logic here.
	}}
>
	<!-- ... -->
</ContextMenu.Root>

Checkbox Items

You can use the ContextMenu.CheckboxItem component to create a menuitemcheckbox element to add checkbox functionality to menu items.

	<script lang="ts">
	import { ContextMenu } from "bits-ui";
 
	let notifications = $state(true);
</script>
 
<ContextMenu.CheckboxItem bind:checked={notifications}>
	{#snippet children({ checked })}
		{#if checked}
			✅
		{/if}
		Notifications
	{/snippet}
</ContextMenu.CheckboxItem>

See the CheckboxItem API for more information.

Radio Groups

You can combine the ContextMenu.RadioGroup and ContextMenu.RadioItem components to create a radio group within a menu.

	<script lang="ts">
	import { ContextMenu } from "bits-ui";
 
	const values = ["one", "two", "three"];
	let value = $state("one");
</script>
 
<ContextMenu.RadioGroup bind:value>
	{#each values as value}
		<ContextMenu.RadioItem {value}>
			{#snippet children({ checked })}
				{#if checked}
					✅
				{/if}
				{value}
			{/snippet}
		</ContextMenu.RadioItem>
	{/each}
</ContextMenu.RadioGroup>

See the RadioGroup and RadioItem APIs for more information.

Nested Menus

You can create nested menus using the ContextMenu.Sub component to create complex menu structures.

	<script lang="ts">
	import { ContextMenu } from "bits-ui";
</script>
 
<ContextMenu.Content>
	<ContextMenu.Item>Item 1</ContextMenu.Item>
	<ContextMenu.Item>Item 2</ContextMenu.Item>
	<ContextMenu.Sub>
		<ContextMenu.SubTrigger>Open Sub Menu</ContextMenu.SubTrigger>
		<ContextMenu.SubContent>
			<ContextMenu.Item>Sub Item 1</ContextMenu.Item>
			<ContextMenu.Item>Sub Item 2</ContextMenu.Item>
		</ContextMenu.SubContent>
	</ContextMenu.Sub>
</ContextMenu.Content>

Svelte Transitions

You can use the forceMount prop along with the child snippet to forcefully mount the ContextMenu.Content component to use Svelte Transitions or another animation library that requires more control.

	<script lang="ts">
	import { ContextMenu } from "bits-ui";
	import { fly } from "svelte/transition";
</script>
 
<ContextMenu.Content forceMount>
	{#snippet child({ props, open })}
		{#if open}
			<div {...props} transition:fly>
				<ContextMenu.Item>Item 1</ContextMenu.Item>
				<ContextMenu.Item>Item 2</ContextMenu.Item>
			</div>
		{/if}
	{/snippet}
</ContextMenu.Content>

Of course, this isn't the prettiest syntax, so it's recommended to create your own reusable content component that handles this logic if you intend to use this approach. For more information on using transitions with Bits UI components, see the Transitions documentation.
