Menus Overview
The Menu package contains the Menu and ContextMenu components.
Basic Usage
The following example demonstrates the Menu and ContextMenu components in action.
Installation
Either use the quick setup (Angular CLI) or manually add the package.
Quick Setup with Angular CLI
Angular CLI supports the addition of packages through the ng add
command which executes in one step the set of otherwise individually needed commands.
ng add @progress/kendo-angular-menu
Manual Setup
All components that you reference during the installation will be present in the final bundle of your application. To avoid ending up with components you do not actually need, either:
- Import all Menu components at once by using the MenusModule, or
- Import a specific component by adding it as an individual NgModule.
Download and install the package.
npm install --save @progress/kendo-angular-menu @progress/kendo-angular-l10n @progress/kendo-angular-popup @progress/kendo-angular-common @progress/kendo-licensing
Once installed, import the NgModule of the components you need.
To get all package components, import the MenusModule in your application root or feature module.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations'; import { MenusModule } from '@progress/kendo-angular-menu'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; @NgModule({ bootstrap: [AppComponent], declarations: [AppComponent], imports: [BrowserModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, MenusModule] }) export class AppModule { }
The package also exports the following modules for individual components:
- MenuModule
- ContextMenuModule
To reduce the size of your application, include only the ones you need.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations'; // Imports the Menu module import { MenuModule } from '@progress/kendo-angular-menu'; // Imports the ContextMenu module import { ContextMenuModule } from '@progress/kendo-angular-menu'; @NgModule({ bootstrap: [AppComponent], imports: [ BrowserModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, MenuModule, ContextMenuModule ] }) export class AppModule { }
You are required to install one of the Kendo UI themes for Angular to style your component. For more information on how to add the styles, refer to the section on styling.
Follow the instructions on the Kendo UI for Angular My License page to activate your license. You can skip this step if your application already contains a Kendo UI license file.
Dependencies
The Menus require you to install the following peer dependencies in your application:
- @angular/animations
- @angular/common
- @angular/core
- rxjs
- @progress/kendo-angular-l10n
- @progress/kendo-angular-popup
- @progress/kendo-angular-common

The Menu package utilizes the Angular animation system, which supports a specific set of browsers.
