Overview

Smart.Menu represents a custom element which can be used to choose an option from a nested list of items.

Getting Started

Getting Started with Menu Web Component

Smart UI for Web Components is distributed as smart-webcomponents NPM package. You can also get the full download from our website with all demos from the Download page.

Setup the Menu

Smart UI for Web Components is distributed as smart-webcomponents NPM package

  1. Download and install the package.

    npm install smart-webcomponents

  2. Once installed, import the Menu module in your application.

    <script type="module" src="node_modules/smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.menu.js"></script>

  3. Adding CSS reference

    The smart.default.css CSS file should be referenced using following code.

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="node_modules/smart-webcomponents/source/styles/smart.default.css" />

  4. Add the Menu tag to your Web Page

    <smart-menu id="menu">    
				<smart-menu-item>ISO 8859-5</smart-menu-item>
                <smart-menu-item>KOI8-R</smart-menu-item>
                <smart-menu-item>KOI8-U</smart-menu-item>
                <smart-menu-item>Windows-1251</smart-menu-item>
	  </smart-menu>

  5. Create the Menu Component

    	<script type="module">
		Smart('#menu', class {
			get properties() {
				return { checkboxes: true }
			}
		});
	</script>

    Another option is to create the Menu is by using the traditional Javascript way:
    	const menu = document.createElement('smart-menu');

	menu.disabled = true;
	document.body.appendChild(menu);

    Smart framework provides a way to dynamically create a web component on demand from a DIV tag which is used as a host. The following imports the web component's module and creates it on demand, when the document is ready. The #menu is the ID of a DIV tag.

    	import "../../source/modules/smart.menu.js";

	document.readyState === 'complete' ? init() : window.onload = init;

	function init() { 
		const menu = new Smart.Menu('#menu', { checkboxes: true });
	}

  6. Open the page in your web server.

Appearance

The menu structure contains smart-menu-item and smart-menu-items-group elements.

The following attributes are available for these custom elements.

  • label - the label to be displayed in the Menu
  • separator - if present, a visual separator (horizontal line) is added after the item
  • disabled - disables the selection of an item

The following attributes are only available for smart-menu-item.

  • value - a custom value that is not displayed, but is passed as an argument to the itemClick event (called when an item is chosen).
  • shortcut - a helper text/icon that can represent a keyboard shortcut that activates the item. The shortcut is not displayed for top-level items in horizontal and vertical modes.

Animated menu could be achieved when animation class is added .

 <smart-menu class="animation"></smart-menu>

Demo

The Menu and its items can have checkbox or radio button selection. To allow this the user has to set element's checkboxes property to true and checkable for the particular items or group.

 <smart-menu checkboxes checkable></smart-menu>

Demo

Data Binding

To initialize a populated Smart.Menu custom element, insert the required inner structure consisting of the auxiliary custom elements smart-menu-item and smart-menu-items-group, e.g.:

Append it to the DOM: 
	document.body.appendChild(menu);

Remove it from the DOM: 
	menu.parentNode.removeChild(menu);

Set a property: 
	menu.propertyName = propertyValue;

Get a property value: 
	const propertyValue = menu.propertyName;

Invoke a method: 
	menu.methodName(argument1, argument2);

Add Event Listener: 
	const eventHandler = (event) => {
	   // your code here.
	};

	menu.addEventListener(eventName, eventHandler);

Remove Event Listener: 
	menu.removeEventListener(eventName, eventHandler, true);

Using with Typescript

Smart Web Components package includes TypeScript definitions which enables strongly-typed access to the Smart UI Components and their configuration.

Inside the download package, the typescript directory contains .d.ts file for each web component and a smart.elements.d.ts typescript definitions file for all web components. Copy the typescript definitions file to your project and in your TypeScript file add a reference to smart.elements.d.ts

Getting Started with Angular Menu Component

Setup Angular Environment

Angular provides the easiest way to set angular CLI projects using Angular CLI tool.

Install the CLI application globally to your machine. 

npm install -g @angular/cli

Create a new Application

ng new smart-angular-menu

Navigate to the created project folder 

cd smart-angular-menu

Setup the Menu

Smart UI for Angular is distributed as smart-webcomponents-angular NPM package

  1. Download and install the package.
    npm install smart-webcomponents-angular
  2. Adding CSS reference

    The following CSS file is available in ../node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/ package folder. This can be referenced in [src/styles.css] using following code. 

    @import 'smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css';

    Another way to achieve the same is to edit the angular.json file and in the styles add the style. 

    "styles": [
		"node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css"
	]
    If you want to use Bootstrap, Fluent or other themes available in the package, you need to add them after 'smart.default.css'.

Getting Started with React Menu Component

Setup React Environment

The easiest way to start with React is to use NextJS Next.js is a full-stack React framework. It’s versatile and lets you create React apps of any size—from a mostly static blog to a complex dynamic application.

npx create-next-app my-app
cd my-app
npm run dev
or 
yarn create next-app my-app
cd my-app
yarn run dev

Preparation

Setup the Menu

Smart UI for React is distributed as smart-webcomponents-react package

  1. Download and install the package.

    In your React Next.js project, run one of the following commands to install Smart UI Menu for React

    With NPM: 

    npm install smart-webcomponents-react
    With Yarn: 
    yarn add smart-webcomponents-react

  2. Once installed, import the React Menu Component and CSS files in your application and render it. app.js

    import 'smart-webcomponents-react/source/styles/smart.default.css';
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { Menu, MenuItem, MenuItemsGroup } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/menu';

const App = () => {
	return (
		<div>
			<Menu id="menu">
				<MenuItemsGroup>File
					<MenuItem shortcut="Ctrl+N">New</MenuItem>
					<MenuItem shortcut="Ctrl+0">Open</MenuItem>
					<MenuItemsGroup>Open Containing Folder
						<MenuItem>Explorer</MenuItem>
						<MenuItem>cmd</MenuItem>
					</MenuItemsGroup>
					<MenuItem shortcut="Ctrl+S" disabled>Save</MenuItem>
					<MenuItem shortcut="Ctrl+Alt+S" separator>Save As...</MenuItem>

					<MenuItem>Encode in UTF-8-BOM</MenuItem>
					<MenuItem>Encode in UTCS-2 BE BOM</MenuItem>
					<MenuItem>Encode in UTCS-2 LE BOM</MenuItem>
					<MenuItemsGroup separator>Character sets
						<MenuItemsGroup>Cyrillic
							<MenuItem>ISO 8859-5</MenuItem>
							<MenuItem>KOI8-R</MenuItem>
							<MenuItem>KOI8-U</MenuItem>
							<MenuItem>Windows-1251</MenuItem>
						</MenuItemsGroup>
						<MenuItemsGroup>Chinese
							<MenuItem>Big5 (Traditional)</MenuItem>
							<MenuItem>GB2312 (Simplified)</MenuItem>
						</MenuItemsGroup>
						<MenuItemsGroup>Western European
							<MenuItem>ISO 8859-1</MenuItem>
							<MenuItem>ISO 8859-15</MenuItem>
							<MenuItem>OEM 850</MenuItem>
							<MenuItem>Windows-1252</MenuItem>
						</MenuItemsGroup>
					</MenuItemsGroup>
					<MenuItem>Convert to ANSI</MenuItem>
					<MenuItem>Convert to UTF-8</MenuItem>
					<MenuItem>Convert to UTF-8-BOM</MenuItem>
					<MenuItem>Convert to UTCS-2 BE BOM</MenuItem>

				</MenuItemsGroup>
			</Menu>
		</div>
	);
}

export default App;

Running the React application

Start the app with 
npm run dev
or 
yarn run dev
and open localhost:3000 in your favorite web browser to see the output.

Setup with Vite

Vite (French word for "quick", pronounced /vit/, like "veet") is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
With NPM: 
npm create vite@latest
With Yarn: 
yarn create vite
Then follow the prompts and choose React as a project.

Navigate to your project's directory. By default it is 'vite-project' and install Smart UI for React

In your Vite project, run one of the following commands to install Smart UI Menu for React

With NPM: 

npm install smart-webcomponents-react
With Yarn: 
yarn add smart-webcomponents-react

Open src/App.tsx App.tsx

import 'smart-webcomponents-react/source/styles/smart.default.css';
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { Menu, MenuItem, MenuItemsGroup } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/menu';

const App = () => {

Getting Started with Vue Menu Component


Setup Vue with Vite

In this section we will introduce how to scaffold a Vue Single Page Application on your local machine. The created project will be using a build setup based on Vite and allow us to use Vue Single-File Components (SFCs). Run the following command in your command line 
npm create vue@latest
This command will install and execute create-vue, the official Vue project scaffolding tool. You will be presented with prompts for several optional features such as TypeScript and testing support: 
✔ Project name: … 
✔ Add TypeScript? … No / Yes
✔ Add JSX Support? … No / Yes
✔ Add Vue Router for Single Page Application development? … No / Yes
✔ Add Pinia for state management? … No / Yes
✔ Add Vitest for Unit testing? … No / Yes
✔ Add an End-to-End Testing Solution? … No / Cypress / Playwright
✔ Add ESLint for code quality? … No / Yes
✔ Add Prettier for code formatting? … No / Yes

Scaffolding project in ./...
Done.
If you are unsure about an option, simply choose No by hitting enter for now. Once the project is created, follow the instructions to install dependencies and start the dev server: 
cd 
npm install
npm install smart-webcomponents
npm run dev

  • Make Vue ignore custom elements defined outside of Vue (e.g., using the Web Components APIs). Otherwise, it will throw a warning about an Unknown custom element, assuming that you forgot to register a global component or misspelled a component name.

    Open vite.config.js in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:

    vite.config.js

    import { fileURLToPath, URL } from 'node:url'

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    vue({
      template: {
        compilerOptions: {
          isCustomElement: tag => tag.startsWith('smart-')
        }
      }
    })
  ],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      '@': fileURLToPath(new URL('./src', import.meta.url))
    }
  }
})
  • Open src/App.vue in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:

    App.vue 

    <template>
  <div class="vue-root">
    <smart-menu id="menu">
      <smart-menu-items-group>
        File
        <smart-menu-item shortcut="Ctrl+N">New</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item shortcut="Ctrl+0">Open</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-items-group>
          Open Containing Folder
          <smart-menu-item>Explorer</smart-menu-item>
          <smart-menu-item>cmd</smart-menu-item>
        </smart-menu-items-group>
        <smart-menu-item shortcut="Ctrl+S" disabled>Save</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item shortcut="Ctrl+Alt+S" separator>Save As...</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item shortcut="Alt+F4">Exit</smart-menu-item>
      </smart-menu-items-group>
      <smart-menu-items-group>
        Edit
        <smart-menu-item shortcut="Ctrl+Z">Undo</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item shortcut="Ctrl+Y" separator>Redo</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item shortcut="Ctrl+X">Cut</smart-menu-item>

        <smart-menu-item shortcut="Ctrl+V" disabled>Paste</smart-menu-item>
      </smart-menu-items-group>
      <smart-menu-items-group drop-down-height="300">
        Encoding
        <smart-menu-item>Encode in ANSI</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item>Encode in UTF-8</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item>Encode in UTF-8-BOM</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item>Encode in UTCS-2 BE BOM</smart-menu-item>

            <smart-menu-item>ISO 8859-15</smart-menu-item>
            <smart-menu-item>OEM 850</smart-menu-item>
            <smart-menu-item>Windows-1252</smart-menu-item>
          </smart-menu-items-group>
        </smart-menu-items-group>
        <smart-menu-item>Convert to ANSI</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item>Convert to UTF-8</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item>Convert to UTF-8-BOM</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item>Convert to UTCS-2 BE BOM</smart-menu-item>
        <smart-menu-item>Convert to UTCS-2 LE BOM</smart-menu-item>
      </smart-menu-items-group>
    </smart-menu>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { onMounted } from "vue";
import "smart-webcomponents/source/styles/smart.default.css";
import "smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.menu.js";

export default {
  name: "app",
  setup() {
    onMounted(() => {});
  }
};
</script>

<style>
smart-menu {
  margin-left: 5%;
}
</style>
    We can now use the smart-menu with Vue 3. Data binding and event handlers will just work right out of the box.

Running the Vue application

Start the app with 
npm run dev
and open http://localhost:5173/ in your favorite web browser to see the output below:
When you are ready to ship your app to production, run the following: 
npm run build
This will create a production-ready build of your app in the project's ./dist directory.
