Overriding the Default Rendering

The Menu enables you to override the default rendering of its items.

To customize the item rendering, use any of the following approaches:

Items

By default, the innermost Menu item part includes only text.

To override the rendering of that innermost item part, either:

  • Override the innermost part for a specific item by using the render property.

Content

You can set specific content that will replace the children of a Menu item by using the contentRender property.

Example
View Source
Change Theme:

If a component that is rendered inside the content utilizes a popup that is rendered outside the content, the Menu closes the item as soon as the user hovers over the popup. Even if the popup is rendered inside the content, it may still overflow, which will cause the mouse to leave the Menu when the popup is closed.

To avoid the accidental closing of content items:

  1. Set the ids of the content items to the customCloseItemIds property of the Menu.
  2. Provide a Close button.
