Menubar
Organizes and presents a collection of menu options or actions within a horizontal bar.
Structure
Reusable Components
If you're planning to use Menubar in multiple places, you can create reusable components that wrap the different parts of the Menubar.
In the following example, we're creating a reusable MyMenubarMenu
component that contains the trigger, content, and items of a menu.
Now, we can use the MyMenubarMenu
component within a Menubar.Root
component to render out the various menus.
Value State
Bits UI provides flexible options for controlling and synchronizing the menubar's active value state. The value
represents the currently opened menu within the menubar.
Two-Way Binding
Use the bind:value
directive for effortless two-way synchronization between your local state and the menubar's internal state.
Change Handler
You can also use the onValueCHange
prop to update local state when the menubar's active menu 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 menus open or close.
Checkbox Items
You can use the Menubar.CheckboxItem
component to create a menuitemcheckbox
element to add checkbox functionality to menu items.
Radio Groups
You can combine the Menubar.RadioGroup
and Menubar.RadioItem
components to create a radio group within a menu.
Nested Menus
You can create nested menus using the Menubar.Sub
component to create complex menu structures.
Svelte Transitions
You can use the forceMount
prop along with the child
snippet to forcefully mount the Menubar.Content
component to use Svelte Transitions or another animation library that requires more control.
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.
