react-native-context-menu-view

Use native context menu functionality from React Native. On iOS 13+ this uses UIMenu functionality, and on Android it uses a ContextMenu.

On iOS 12 and below, nothing happens. You may wish to do a Platform.OS === 'ios' && parseInt(Platform.Version, 10) <= 12 check, and add your own onLongPress handler.

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-context-menu-view --save

Mostly automatic installation

cd ios/
pod install

Usage

import ContextMenu from "react-native-context-menu-view";

const Example = () => {
  return (
    <ContextMenu
      actions={[{ title: "Title 1" }, { title: "Title 2" }]}
      onPress={(e) => {
        console.warn(
          `Pressed ${e.nativeEvent.name} at index ${e.nativeEvent.index}`
        );
      }}
    >
      <View style={styles.yourOwnStyles} />
    </ContextMenu>
  );
};

See example/ for basic usage.

Props

title

Optional. The title above the popup menu.

actions

Array of { title: string, subtitle?: string, systemIcon?: string, icon?: string, iconColor?: string, destructive?: boolean, selected?: boolean, disabled?: boolean, disabled?: boolean, inlineChildren?: boolean, actions?: Array<ContextMenuAction> }.

• title is the title of the action

• subtitle is the subtitle of the action (iOS 15+ only)

• systemIcon refers to an icon name within SF Symbols (iOS only)

• icon refers to an SVG asset name that is provided in Assets.xcassets or to a Drawable on Android; when both systemIcon and icon are provided, icon will take a higher priority and it will override systemIcon

• iconColor will change the color of the icon provided to the icon prop and has no effect on systemIcon (default: black)

• destructive items are rendered in red (iOS only, default: false)

• selected items have a checkmark next to them (iOS only, default: false)

• disabled marks whether the action is disabled or not (default: false)

• actions will provide a one level deep nested menu; when child actions are supplied, the child's callback will contain its name but the same index as the topmost parent menu/action index

• inlineChildren marks whether its children (if any) should be rendered inline instead of in their own child menu (iOS only, default: false)

onPress

Optional. When the popup is opened and the user picks an option. Called with { nativeEvent: { index, indexPath, name } }. When a nested action is selected the top level parent index is used for the callback.

To get the full path to the item, indexPath is an array of indices to reach the item. For a top-level item, it'll be an array with a single index. For an item one deep, it'll be an array with two indexes.

onPreviewPress

Optional, iOS only. When the context menu preview is tapped.

onCancel

Optional. When the popup is opened and the user cancels.

previewBackgroundColor

Optional. The background color of the preview. This is displayed underneath your view. Set this to transparent (or another color) if the default causes issues.

dropdownMenuMode

Optional. When set to true, the context menu is triggered with a single tap instead of a long press, and a preview is not show and no blur occurs. Uses the iOS 14 Menu API on iOS and a simple tap listener on android.

disabled

Optional. Disable menu interaction.
