react-native-ios-context-menu

🚧⚠️ Library + Documentation Re-Write WIP ⚠️🚧

📝 Check TODO.md for progress on re-write.

• ❤️ Support the new API's introduced in iOS 15/16+.
• 🧡 New SFSymbols + menu icon config API (with support for advanced customizations).
• 💛 Support for use with Mac Catalyst (e.g. configuring the mac's menu bar + the iPad's shortcuts/menu bar).
• 💚 Typescript re-write (for better autocomplete).
• 💙 Documentation re-write (so its actually usable + better examples).
• 💜 ...and fixing all the bugs + issues so far 😅

• The documentation is incomplete (some parts/sections are marked as TBA i.e. "to be added").
• Some of the links in the documentation are broken (i.e. the URL points to PLACE_HOLDER_LINK).
• For now, please see the Usage And Examples section, and Showcase, Tests and Demos section for information on how to use this library.

Notice
📝 Note #1: A future major version of this library will introduce breaking changes to the API (mainly just renaming some of the properties) in order to add new features (and better types). However, the next minor version of this library will not introduce any breaking changes but will instead focus on adding typescript annotations and fixing the existing bugs.
📝 Note #2: The documentation + examples are currently being rewritten. 💅 README-old.md — The old version of the documentation (archived). 💖 example/src/examples — The typescript rewrite of the examples (WIP).

• Basic ActionSheetIOS menu fallback for iOS 12 and below.
• Support for creating custom context menu previews (with support for dynamic or fixed preview sizes, setting the UIPreviewParameters, specifying a UITargetedPreview, etc).
• Support for custom auxiliary previews (experimental).
• Support for deferred context menu items.

B. Installation

# 1A) install via NPM
npm install react-native-ios-context-menu

# 1B) or install via yarn
yarn add react-native-ios-context-menu

# 2) then run pod install (uses auto-linking)
cd ios && pod install

📝 Note: You will encounter some build errors since this library is written in swift, so there's some extra step involved to use this library (see table below for reference).

Additional Steps
1️⃣ Add an empty swift file to your project
2️⃣ Update the project's "Library Search Paths" build settings

Expo

• ✅ You can use this library with Development Builds. No config plugin is required.
• ❌ This library can't be used in the "Expo Go" app because it requires custom native code.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any errors/bugs while using this library, or want a particular feature implemented, please create an issue! ✨

Troubleshooting: Xcode Build Error (Swift)

📝 Note: This library is written in swift. If you are having trouble building your app after installing this library, try adding an empty swift file to your project:

1. Open up your ios/project.xcworkspace project
2. On the project navigator panel (located on the right side of Xcode), right click on your project group (or another folder/group i.e the blue or yellow icons) and select the "New File..." option
3. In the popup sheet, select "Swift" as the template and then click the "Next" button
4. A "Save As" popup sheet should appear and then click "Create" (you can rename the file first if you want to)
5. If Xcode asks you to create a "Objective-C Bridging Header" choose "Create Objective-C Bridging Header"

Troubleshooting: Xcode Build Error (Undefined symbol)

When installing this library on Xcode 12+, you'll get the following error in Xcode:

Undefined symbol: (extension in UIKit):
__C.UIMenu.init(title: Swift.String, image: __C.UIImage?, identifier: __C.UIMenuIdentifier?, options: __C.UIMenuOptions, children: [__C.UIMenuElement]) -> __C.UIMenu

Undefined symbol: (extension in UIKit):
__C.UIAction.init(title: Swift.String, image: __C.UIImage?, identifier: __C.UIActionIdentifier?, discoverabilityTitle: Swift.String?, attributes: __C.UIMenuElementAttributes, state: __C.UIMenuElementState, handler: (__C.UIAction) -> ()) -> __C.UIAction

To fix this, see screenshot + follow the steps below:

1. Open your ios/project.xcworkspace project.
2. In the project navigator panel (located on the right side of Xcode), select your project group (i.e. the item with the blueprint icon).
3. The Xcode project editor should appear. In the left panel, under the "Project" section, select your project (if it isn't already selected).
4. In the project section's top tab bar, select the "Build Settings" tab (also make sure the "All" and "Combined" tabs are selected).
5. In the project navigator list, under the "Search Path" section, there should be a "Library Search Paths" setting (alternatively, you can search for "Library Search Paths" in the search bar).
6. According to this issue comment, you can clear all the items listed in the "Library Search Paths" setting by selecting the items in the list, and pressing the "-" button in the popover.
   • TLDR: Xcode automatically manages this setting, and the RN template hardcodes it to use Swift 5.0.
   • Alternatively, you can change the entry "$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.0/$(PLATFORM_NAME)" to "$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.3/$(PLATFORM_NAME)" i.e. change swift-5.0 to swift-5.3, or whatever the newest version of swift that comes with your Xcode installation (to show the popup dialog, double click the value/item).
7. If you haven't already, make sure to create an empty swift file. Then clean the build folder (the option is in the menu bar under: "Product" -> "Clean Build Folder") and try building your project again.
8. If you are still having problems building the app, try the following and build your project again:

• Try clearing out Xcode's derivedData directory: rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/* (check out this gist for instructions on how to clean up Xcode)
• Try clearing out the Cocoapods cache: rm -rf "${HOME}/Library/Caches/CocoaPods" (and then try running pod install again).

Explanation: Some versions of the react-native template hard codes the swift library search paths to use swift 5.0 (which causes the linker to mismatch the swift system libraries bundled with your Xcode + iOS/Simulator installation).

Here are some related issues in the RN repo: Issue 30202 and Issue 29178.

D.1. Components

ContextMenuView Component

ContextMenuView Component: Props

Prop Name and Type	Description
⚛️ ViewProps	This component supports all the standard props from a <View/> component.
🔤 menuConfig ⚛️ MenuConfig	This prop configures the context menu, along with what menu actions to show. This prop accepts a MenuConfig object. This object is used to configure various aspects of the context menu. Here are some relevant properties: 1️⃣ MenuConfig.menuTitle: the context menu title (required) — if you don't want to show the menu title, pass in an empty string. 2️⃣ MenuConfig.menuItems: the actions to show (e.g. the title, icons, subtitle, etc) — accepts either an array of MenuActionConfig or MenuConfig objects. 3️⃣ MenuConfig.menuOptions: the attributes of the context menu (e.g. destructive) — accepts an array of UIMenuOptions string items, and any nested menus or submenus to show (see "Note A"). 📝 Note A: Passing a MenuConfig object inside of the MenuConfig.menuItems property will result in a nested context menu (i.e. a submenu). In this scenario, the MenuConfig.menuOptions and MenuConfig.icon can be used to configure the appearance of the submenu. For usage examples regarding nested menus, see Example 06. 📝 Note B: Passing a value of null (or undefined) to this prop will not disable the context menu. Instead, please use the isContextMenuEnabled prop to disable the context menu. 📝 Note C: You can put MenuConfig in state if you want to dynamically change the menu configuration (this will allow you to add/remove submenu items, or update the current menu options). If the context menu is currently visible, changing/updating the MenuConfig value passed to this prop will cause the context menu to change in real-time. This behavior is only supported on iOS 14+. 📌 Some example links to get you started: • For basic usage examples regarding MenuConfig, see: Example 1, • For examples on creating + configuring the menu action items (i.e MenuActionConfig), see: Example 2, • For menu action attributes + menu state, and action subtitles, see: Example 4, Example 8, and Example 13, • For examples regarding the usage of icons (i.e ImageItemConfig), see: Example 16, Example 17, and Example 18.
🔤 previewConfig ⚛️ MenuPreviewConfig	Configures the context menu's preview. If no configuration is provided then it will default to using the context menu component itself as the preview. 📝 Note: If you do not want to show a preview (i.e. only show the context menu itself), consider using a ContextMenuButton component instead. 📌 Some example links to get you started: • For examples regarding the configuration of the context menu preview (e.g. custom previews), see: Example 11, Example 12, Example 14, and Example 15.
🔤 shouldUseDiscoverability TitleAsFallbackValueForSubtitle ⚛️ boolean ✳️ Default: true	On iOS 15+, the value passed to the MenuActionConfig.discoverabilityTitle property is no longer displayed as a subtitle under the menu action. Instead you need to set a different property called MenuActionConfig.subtitle. The discoverabilityTitle property is now used for the "discoverability heads-up display" (e.g when an app supports keyboard shortcuts, holding down the command key presents a list of shortcuts; the discoverabilityTitle is then used as the title for the shortcut). If this prop is set to true, it will then uses the value passed on to the discoverabilityTitle value as the subtitle for the menu action, preserving the old behavior. In other words, this prop exists for backwards-compatibility reasons. 📝 Note: This prop is set to true by default; set this to false if you don't want this automatic behaviour to happen.
🔤 shouldWaitForMenuToHide BeforeFiringOnPressMenuItem ⚛️ boolean ✳️ Default: true	If set to true (which it is by default), the onPressMenuItem event will be triggered after the context menu has been hidden (i.e. after onMenuDidHide event is triggered). Set this to false if you want onPressMenuItem to trigger as soon as an item has been pressed in the context menu. 📝 Note: Layout updates while the context menu is transitioning from it's open to hidden state might cause layout flickering (e.g. Issue #43).
🔤 isContextMenuEnabled ⚛️ boolean ✳️ Default: true	Enables or disables the context menu. Useful if you want to temporarily disable the context menu.
🔤 lazyPreview ⚛️ boolean ✳️ Default: true	If set to true (which it is by default), the custom context menu preview (i.e. the component returned from the ContextMenuView.renderPreview prop) and the auxiliary preview (i.e. the component returned from the ContextMenuView.renderAuxillaryPreview prop) are only mounted/rendered when the context menu is visible. Set this to false if you want the preview content to be always mounted.
🔤 shouldEnable AggressiveCleanup ⚛️ boolean ✳️ Default: true	If set to true (which it is by default), the custom preview and auxiliary preview are immediately freed from memory once the context menu is closed. 📝 Note: For the immediately cleanup to take effect, the lazyPreview prop also needs to be enabled.
🔤 useActionSheetFallback ⚛️ boolean ✳️ Default: true	Context menus are only supported on iOS 13+ (i.e context menus are not supported on iOS 12, and below). On iOS 12 and below, a long press on a ContextMenuView will show a ActionSheetIOS menu based on the current menuConfig prop. If you want to disable this behavior, set this prop to false. 📝 Note: Default value is false on iOS 13+, and true on iOS 12 and below.
🔤 renderPreview ⚛️ () => React.ReactElement	This prop is a "render" prop, i.e it accepts a function that returns a react component. The returned component will displayed in the context menu preview.
🔤 isAuxiliaryPreviewEnabled ⚛️ boolean ✳️ Default: false	⚠️ Experimental: Please see Auxiliary Preview section. TBA
🔤 auxiliaryPreviewConfig ⚛️ MenuAuxiliaryPreviewConfig	⚠️ Experimental: Please see Auxiliary Preview section. TBA
🔤 renderAuxillaryPreview ⚛️ () => React.ReactElement	⚠️ Experimental: Please see Auxiliary Preview section. TBA
🔤 internalCleanupMode ⚛️ RNICleanupMode ✳️ Default: automatic	Internally, a clean up routine is triggered whenever a component is unmounted. However, if the clean up routine is triggered too early, this will lead to the context menu component disappearing (E.g. issue #34). If you are experiencing this issue, you can disable the clean up routine from triggering altogether by setting this prop to disabled. Additionally, you can also try setting this prop to either to viewController, or reactComponentWillUnmount. viewController mode will trigger the clean up routine via the UIViewController.viewWillDisappear lifecycle method, while reactComponentWillUnmount mode on the other hand, will trigger trigger the clean up routine via the componentWillUnmount react lifecycle event.

ContextMenuView Component: Event Props

Prop Name and Type	Description
🔤 onMenuWillShow ⚛️ OnMenuWillShowEvent	Event that gets called before the context menu is shown, i.e this event is immediately invoked when the menu is about to become visible.
🔤 onMenuDidShow ⚛️ OnMenuDidShowEvent	Event that gets called after the context menu is shown, i.e this event is invoked after the menu entrance animation is finished.
🔤 onMenuWillHide ⚛️ OnMenuWillHideEvent	Event that gets called before the context menu is hidden, i.e this event is immediately invoked when the menu is about to become hidden.
🔤 onMenuDidHide ⚛️ OnMenuDidHideEvent	Event that gets called after the context menu is hidden, i.e this event is invoked after the menu exit animation is finished.
🔤 onMenuWillCancel ⚛️ OnMenuWillCancelEvent	Event that gets called when the menu is cancelled and about to be hidden, i.e this event is immediately invoked when the context menu interaction is cancelled.
🔤 onMenuDidCancel ⚛️ OnMenuDidCancelEvent	Event that gets called when the menu is cancelled and hidden, i.e. this event is invoked when the context menu is cancelled, and the menu exit transition is finished.
🔤 onPressMenuItem ⚛️ OnPressMenuItemEvent	Event that gets called when a menu action is pressed. You can identify which action was pressed via nativeEvent.actionKey property in the nativeEvent object. Check out Example 1, and Example 9 for examples regarding the onPressMenuItem event prop. 📝 Note: If shouldWaitForMenuToHide BeforeFiringOnPressMenuItem prop is set to true (which it is by default), then this event will fire after onMenuDidHide is triggered.
🔤 onPressMenuPreview ⚛️ OnPressMenuPreviewEvent	Event that gets called when the menu's preview is pressed.
🔤 onMenuAuxiliaryPreviewWillShow ⚛️ OnMenuAuxiliaryPreviewWillShowEvent	⚠️ Experimental: Please see Auxiliary Preview section. TBA
🔤 onMenuAuxiliaryPreviewDidShow ⚛️ OnMenuAuxiliaryPreviewDidShowEvent	⚠️ Experimental: Please see Auxiliary Preview section. TBA
🔤 onMenuAuxiliaryPreviewDidShow ⚛️ DeferredElementProvider i.e. (deferredID, completion) => void	This event gets called whenever a UIDeferredMenuElement needs to be loaded. A deferred menu element can be created via a DeferredMenuElementConfig object. A deferred menu is a context menu is basically a placeholder — i.e. it appears as a loading indicator in the context menu. When you pass in a DeferredMenuElementConfig object to MenuConfig.menuItems, it means you want to load and add additional menu items once the context menu is opened. This event will provide a completion callback — use this to provide the additional context menu items you want to load. 📝 Note A: Deferred menu elements only work on iOS 14+. 📝 Note B: You can dynamically update the context menu items without using the prop — the difference is that deferred menu items will show a placeholder loading indicator when the additional menu items haven't been loaded yet. 📝 Note C: It is possible to have multiple deferred menu elements (e.g. deferred elements can also provide deferred elements, and so on). Just be sure to use a unique deferredID so you can tell them apart. 📌 Example Usage: • ContextMenuViewExample19.

ContextMenuView Component: Properties/Methods

Prop Name and Type	Description
🔤 dismissMenu ⚛️ Promise<Void>	Allows you to programmatically dismiss the context menu. Only available on iOS 14 and above.

ContextMenuView Component: Experimental - Auxiliary Preview

The context menu auxiliary preview is an experimental feature, and is not officially part of UIKit's "Menu and Shortcuts" API.

This is just a feature that I've implemented myself and added to the library — as such official support is limited and might break in a future iOS version. Please use at your own risk.

ContextMenuButton Component

For basic usage, please see Example 1 section.

• The ContextMenuButton component is almost the same as the ContextMenuView component (It supports the same kind of props and events).
  

• The only difference between them is that the ContextMenuButton component does not have a preview, and it can be immediately shown when its tapped instead of having to do a long press. See Example 2 for more details.
  

• Note that ContextMenuButton is only available on iOS 14 and above. On iOS 13, it will use a ContextMenuButton, and on iOS 12 and below, it will use the ActionSheetFallback module to present a ActionSheetIOS menu.
  

• If you want to add additional touch events, you can wrap this component inside a button component (e.g. TouchableOpacity).
  

  • When wrapping this component inside a button, please make sure to set the useActionSheetFallback prop to false.

ContextMenuButton Component: Props

Prop Name and Type	Description
⚛️ ViewProps	This component supports all the standard props from a <View/> component.
🔤 menuConfig ⚛️ MenuConfig	Same as ContextMenuView.menuConfig prop.
🔤 isMenuPrimaryAction ⚛️ boolean	When set to true, the context menu will be shown when its tapped instead of a long press.
🔤 shouldUseDiscoverability TitleAsFallbackValueForSubtitle ⚛️ boolean ✳️ Default: true	TBA / Not Implented
🔤 enableContextMenu ⚛️ boolean ✳️ Default: true	Same as ContextMenuView.enableContextMenu prop.
🔤 useActionSheetFallback ⚛️ boolean ✳️ Default: true	Same as ContextMenuView.useActionSheetFallback prop.

🔤 onMenuWillCancel ⚛️ OnMenuWillCancelEvent	Same as ContextMenuView.onMenuWillCancel event.
🔤 onMenuDidCancel ⚛️ OnMenuDidCancelEvent	Same as ContextMenuView.onMenuDidCancel event.
🔤 onMenuWillCreate ⚛️ OnMenuWillCreateEvent	Same as ContextMenuView.onMenuWillCreate event.
🔤 onPressMenuItem ⚛️ OnPressMenuItemEvent	Same as ContextMenuView.onPressMenuItem event.

ContextMenuButton Component: Properties/Methods

Prop Name and Type	Description
🔤 dismissMenu ⚛️ Promise<Void>	Same as ContextMenuView.dismissMenu method.

ActionSheetFallback Module

A module to show a ActionSheetIOS menu based on a MenuConfig object.

This module attempts to approximate UIMenu behavior using ActionSheetIOS, so it's very limited (i.e. it does not support menu/action icons, etc.), but it does support things like submenu's, destructive actions/menu's, inline submenu's, and hidden actions.

• Import the module like this: import { ActionSheetFallback } from "react-native-ios-context-menu";
  
  

• To present a ActionSheetIOS menu, call const selectedAction = await ActionSheetFallback.show(menuConfig)

Function	Description
🔤 show ⚛️ (menuConfig: MenuConfig): Promise<MenuAction ¦ null>	This function accepts a MenuConfig object and returns the selected MenuAction object or null if cancelled.

E. Usage And Examples

ContextMenuView Example 01

Summary: A basic context menu that has 3 menu action items (e.g. "Action #1", "Action #2", and "Action #3").

Notes
1️⃣ — The ContextMenuView.menuConfig prop accepts an optional MenuConfig object. This object will be used to create and configure the context menu.
2️⃣ — You can set the context menu title via passing a string value to the MenuConfig.menuTitle property. 📝 Note: You can pass an empty string if you don't want a title to appear on top your context menu.
3️⃣ — To populate the context menu with action items, you can pass a MenuActionConfig object in the MenuConfig.menuItems property. 📝 Note A: The MenuConfig.menuItems property can accept an array of a MenuElementConfig union type. To be more specific, the menuItems property can accept an array containing any of the following object types: MenuConfig object, MenuActionConfig, and DeferredMenuElementConfig. 📝 Note B: If you pass in a MenuConfig object in the MenuConfig.menuItems property, it means that you want to create a submenu. See ContextMenuView Example 03 for more details. 📝 Note C: If you pass in a DeferredMenuElementConfig object in the MenuConfig.menuItems property, it means that you want to create a deferred menu item (i.e. a menu item that has a loading indicator). See ContextMenuView Example 19 for more details.
4️⃣ — A MenuActionConfig object represents an action item in the context menu (e.g. copy, paste, delete, etc). As such, if you pass in a MenuActionConfig object to MenuConfig.menuItems, it means that you want to create a context menu action. 📝 Note A: The MenuActionConfig.actionKey property serves as a unique identifier for your menu action. If you have multiple menu actions, the actionKey will help you differentiate them. 📝 Note B: You will receive the value you passed in MenuActionConfig.actionKey in the ContextMenuView.onPressMenuItem event (i.e. via the nativeEvent object).
5️⃣ — You can use the ContextMenuView.onPressMenuItem event prop to get notified whenever a menu action item has been selected. The function you pass to the onPressMenuItem prop will receive a OnPressMenuItemEventObject object. 📝 Note A: Details about the selected menu action item can be accessed via the OnPressMenuItemEventObject.nativeEvent object. E.g. OnPressMenuItemEventObject``.nativeEvent.actionKey. 📝 Note B: If ContextMenuView.shouldWaitForMenuToHide BeforeFiringOnPressMenuItem prop is set to true (which it is by default), then this event will fire after the onMenuDidHide event is triggered.

import { ContextMenuView } from 'react-native-ios-context-menu';

export function ContextMenuViewExample01(props) {
  return (
    <ContextMenuView
      menuConfig={{
        // Note: If you don't want a menu title to appear for your
        // context menu, you can just pass in an empty string
        menuTitle: 'ContextMenuViewExample01',
        menuItems: [{
          actionKey  : 'key-01',
          actionTitle: 'Action #1',
        }, {
          actionKey  : 'key-02'   ,
          actionTitle: 'Action #2',
        }, {
          actionKey  : 'key-03'   ,
          actionTitle: 'Action #3',
        }],
      }}
      onPressMenuItem={({nativeEvent}) => {
        Alert.alert(
          'onPressMenuItem Event',
          `actionKey: ${nativeEvent.actionKey} - actionTitle: ${nativeEvent.actionTitle}`
        );
      }}

    </ContextMenuView>
  );
};

ContextMenuView Example 02

Summary: Icon Example — This examples shows how to add a system icon in the context menu action.

Notes
1️⃣ — A menu action (i.e. MenuActionConfig object) can be configured to show an icon via its MenuActionConfig.icon property. 📝 Note A: The icon property accepts a ImageItemConfig object. 📝 Note B: A ImageItemConfig object is used to describe images/assets (e.g. SF Symbols icons, images, xcasset images, programmatic images, etc).
2️⃣ — In this example, we want to use a "SF Symbols" icon for the menu action. In order to do this, the ImageItemConfig.type property must be set to "IMAGE_SYSTEM". 📝 Note A: Passing in a value of "IMAGE_SYSTEM" to the type property means that we want to create a "SF Symbols" system icon. 📝 Note B: Using a "SF Symbols" icon requires iOS 13+. 📝 Note C: Via the ImageItemConfig object, you can also configure the context menu action to use other icons (e.g. xcasset items, images, gradients, solid colors, etc). 📝 Note D: You can apply a tint to the icon via the ImageItemConfig.imageOptions property using the UIImageConfig.tint and UIImageConfig.renderingMode property. See ContextMenuView Example 17 for more details.
3️⃣ — In order to configure what kind of "SF Symbols" icon we want to use for the menu action, we need to pass in a ImageSystemConfig object to the ImageItemConfig.imageValue property. We can set what kind of icon to use via passing a string value to the ImageSystemConfig.systemName property. 📝 Note A: An ImageSystemConfig object is used to generate a "SF Symbols" image. Using this configuration object, we can optionally customize the "SF Symbols" icon further via the following properties: pointSize, weight, scale, hierarchicalColor, paletteColors, etc. 📝 Note B: The string value passed to the ImageSystemConfig.systemName property must be a valid SF Symbols name. 📝 Note C: To view the list of SF Symbols icons (along with their corresponding icon names), you'll need to download the SF Symbols Mac app from this page.

ContextMenuView Example 03

Summary: Nested Menu — This example shows a context menu that has a submenu item inside its list of menu actions.

Notes
1️⃣ — A context menu supports having nested menu's (i.e. submenu's). A submenu is basically just another menu with it's own separate list of menu actions. Tapping it will show another context menu (visually this is similar to a dropdown menu).
2️⃣ — As mentioned in the earlier examples, the MenuConfig.menuItems property can accept a MenuActionConfig object, or a MenuConfig object. Passing in a MenuActionConfig object to MenuConfig.menuItems makes a menu action, conversely passing in a MenuConfig object will create a submenu item. In other words, to make a submenu, you just need to pass a MenuConfig item in the MenuConfig.menuItems property. 📝 Note: You can nest as many submenu's you want (but just remember that having more than 3 nested submenus is considered bad UX).

ContextMenuView Example 04

Summary: Menu Attributes — This example context menu showcases the MenuActionConfig.menuAttributes property.

Notes
1️⃣ — The MenuActionConfig.menuAttributes property accepts an array of strings (i.e. an array of MenuAttributes items). In this example, the context menu has 3 actions, each with a different menu attribute assigned to it. The first menu action is a "disabled" action, i.e. it has it's menuAttributes set to ['disabled'], causing the action title text and icon becomes greyed out.
2️⃣ — The second menu action is a destructive action. It has it's menuAttributes set to ['destructive'], causing the action title text and icon becomes red.
3️⃣ — The third menu action is a "hidden" action. It has it's menuAttributes set to ['hidden']. The menu action is not visible in the menu's list of actions. This is useful for temporarily hiding a menu action item.
4️⃣ — The fourth menu action is a "disabled" + "destructive" action. Visually, it looks very similar to an action that has the ['disabled'] attribute.

ContextMenuView Example 05

Summary: Nested Menu + Menu Attributes — A context menu that has a in-line submenu.

Notes
You can set the menu options via the MenuConfig.menuOptions property. It accepts an array of UIMenuOptions strings (e.g. 'destructive', 'displayInline'). If you pass in ['displayInline'] to menuOptions, the submenu will be added/combined to its parent menu, but with a small separator between them.

ContextMenuView Example 06

Summary: Menu Options — A context menu that has a destructive submenu.

Notes
You can set the menu options via the MenuConfig.menuOptions property. It accepts an array of UIMenuOptions strings (e.g. destructive, displayInline). If you pass in ['destructive'] to menuOptions, it will tint the submenu to red (but it's menu items won't be affected).

Summary: Menu Options — A context menu that set to be both "destructive" and "display in-line".

Notes
You can set the menu options via the MenuConfig.menuOptions property. It accepts an array of UIMenuOptions strings (e.g. destructive, displayInline). Passing in ['destructive', 'displayInline'] to menuOptions, is functionally the same as passing in ['displayInline'].

ContextMenuView Example 08

Summary: Menu State — A context menu with 3 actions that has 'on', 'off', and 'mixed' menuState.

Notes
You can set an menu action item's the menu state via the MenuActionConfig.menuState property. 📝 Note: On iOS 13, an action item's menu state is indicated via changing it's icon to a checkmark. However on later version of iOS this behavior has been changed to showing a checkmark besides the action title (see gifs/screenshots below).

ContextMenuView Example 10

Summary: Dynamic Menu — An example showing how to dynamically update the context menu while it's visible. In this example, the menu action changes every time the counter increments every second.

Notes

On iOS 14+ you can update the menu while it's visible, e.g. like adding and removing items in the context menu, or changing the action title, etc. You can control the context menu config using state, and dynamically change it as shown in the example below. 📝 Note A: On iOS 13 the context menu will not update while it's visible. 📝 Note B: On iOS 15+, all changes to the context menu config are applied using a fade/crossfade transition.

🔗 Full Example

 // 📝 Note: for the sake of brevity, some of the code is omitted...
export function ContextMenuViewExample10(props) {
  // `timer` will increment every second... 
  const [timer, setTimer] = React.useState(0);

ContextMenuView Example 11

Summary: Context Menu Previews — An example showing how to use a custom preview for the context menu.

Notes
1️⃣ — The ContextMenuView.renderPreview render prop allows you show a custom preview when the context menu appears. 📝 Note: The renderPreview prop accepts a function that returns an element. The returned element will be shown inside the context menu preview.
2️⃣ — The ContextMenuView.previewConfig is used to control the behavior and appearance of the custom context menu preview. In order to show the custom context menu preview, we must first set MenuPreviewConfig.previewType to 'CUSTOM'. By default, this property is set to 'DEFAULT', which means that you do not want to use a custom preview. 📝 Note A: The previewConfig prop accepts a MenuPreviewConfig object. 📝 Note B: The previewType property accepts a MenuPreviewType string. You can set this to 'DEFAULT' if you want to quickly disable the custom preview.
3️⃣ — In this example, we want the custom preview to be as big as possible, so we set the MenuPreviewConfig.previewSize property to 'STRETCH'. 📝 Note: The previewSize property accepts a MenuPreviewSize string. By default, this prop is set to 'INHERIT', which means to just match the size of the root view returned from renderPreview.

🔗 Full Example

 // 📝 Note: for the sake of brevity, some of the code is omitted...
import { ContextMenuView } from 'react-native-ios-context-menu';

export function ContextMenuViewExample11(props) {
  return (
    <ContextMenuView

ContextMenuView Example 12

Summary: Context Menu Previews — An example showing a custom context menu preview that dynamically changes its size due to its contents updating every second.

Notes
📝 Note: By default, custom preview will animate to its new size. If you want to disable this behavior, set MenuPreviewConfig.isResizeAnimated property to false.

ContextMenuView Example 13

Summary: Menu Action — An example showing how to add a subtitle to menu action.

Notes

You can add a subtitle to a menu action via passing a string value to the MenuActionConfig.actionSubtitle property. 📝 Note A: On iOS 13/14, you add subtitles to the menu action via the MenuActionConfig.discoverabilityTitle property, but on iOS 15+ this property is now used for the "discoverability heads-up display" UI. 📝 Note B: For backwards compatibility, the string value you passed to discoverabilityTitle will also be used to set actionSubtitle on iOS 15+. To disable this automatic behavior, set the ContextMenuView.shouldUseDiscoverability TitleAsFallbackValueForSubtitle prop to false.

🔗 Full Example

 // 📝 Note: for the sake of brevity, some of the code is omitted...
import { ContextMenuView } from 'react-native-ios-context-menu';

ContextMenuView Example 14

Summary: Context Menu Previews — An example that changes the exit transition of the context menu preview when its tapped using the preferredCommitStyle  config.

Notes
The MenuPreviewConfig.preferredCommitStyle allows you to configure what preset exit transition to use when the context menu preview is pressed. 📝 Note A: By default, MenuPreviewConfig.preferredCommitStyle is set to 'dismiss'. 📝 Note B: A preferredCommitStyle of 'pop'' is usually used when navigating to another screen (i.e. a view controller is pushed without the normal push transition).

🔗 Full Example

 // 📝 Note: for the sake of brevity, some of the code is omitted...
export function ContextMenuViewExample14(props) {
  return (
    <ContextMenuView

  );
};

ContextMenuView Example 15

Summary: Context Menu Previews — An example showing how to configure a context menu that uses targeted previews.

Notes

By default, the child elements you render inside the ContextMenuView component will be used as the preview when the context menu interaction is triggered. Targeted previews allows you to specify which specific view to use for the context menu preview, so that when the context menu interaction begins, a different view will be used for the preview (including the initial transition, see the gif below the example code). 📝 Note A: The context menu interaction will still be triggered by long pressing on the child elements in the ContextMenuView component. As such, if the view that you are using for the targeted preview is not a child of ContextMenuView, then holding down on that view will not trigger the context menu interaction. 📝 Note B: Targeted previews is different from setting a custom context menu preview via the renderPreview prop. A custom preview will replace the contents of the context menu preview entirely with your custom view component once the menu is opened. A targeted preview on the other hand will change which view to use for the context menu entrance/exit transition (as well as what view to show in the preview if you do not have a custom preview).

🔗 Full Example

 // 📝 Note: for the sake of brevity, some of the code is omitted...
import { ContextMenuView } from 'react-native-ios-context-menu';

export function ContextMenuViewExample15(props) {
  const [targetViewNode, setTargetViewNode] = React.useState(null);

      findNodeHandle(viewRef.current)

ContextMenuView Example 16

Summary: Icon Example — An example showing a context menu with an action that uses a 'IMAGE_ASSET' image for its icon.

Notes
A config of ImageItemConfig.type set to 'IMAGE_ASSET' means that you want to use a xcasset image asset. 📝 Note: The string value you pass to the ImageItemConfig.imageValue must match the corresponding asset that you want to use in your project's xcasset catalog.

ContextMenuView Example 17

Summary: Icon Example — An example showing a context menu with action items that have different colored icons.

Notes

A ImageItemConfig object has an optional called imageOptions. This property accepts a UIImageConfig object. You can tint the image to a specified color using the UIImageConfig.tint property. This property accepts a color string in either rgb, rgba, or hex format. You can also choose to provide a dynamic color config if you want to use a specific color for light/dark mode. 📝 Note A: Any image can be tinted to a specific color, not just 'IMAGE_SYSTEM' images. 📝 Note B: In order for the tint to take effect, set UIImageConfig.renderingMode to alwaysOriginal.

ContextMenuView Example 18

Summary: Icon Example — An example showing a context menu with action items that has icons that uses local image assets imported via require(...).

Notes
1️⃣ — The first step that we need to do is to generate a ImageResolvedAssetSource object of the local image asset we want to use. This object contains metadata about the image as well as its URI in the file system. The Image.resolveAssetSource function returns a ImageResolvedAssetSource that corresponds to the source argument you pass into it. Give this function the return value of require(path/to/image.png).
2️⃣ — A config of ImageItemConfig.type set to 'IMAGE_REQUIRE' means that we want to use a local image asset imported via the require(...) function. The ImageItemConfig.imageValue property accepts a ImageResolvedAssetSource object that corresponds to the image asset that you want to use.

🔗 Full Example

 // 📝 Note: for the sake of brevity, some of the code is omitted...
import { ContextMenuView } from 'react-native-ios-context-menu';

// Generate a `ImageResolvedAssetSource` object based on the
// image assets...

const iconA = Image.resolveAssetSource(
  require('../assets/emoji-pleading-face.png')
);

const iconB = Image.resolveAssetSource(
  require('../assets/emoji-smiling-face-with-hearts.png')
);

const iconC = Image.resolveAssetSource(
  require('../assets/emoji-sparkling-heart.png')
);

          // for now).
          // 
          // The other two menu actions in this example 
          // uses `ImageItemConfig` to set the menu action icons. 
          icon: {
            iconType: 'REQUIRE',

ContextMenuView Example 19

Summary: Dynamic Menu — An example showing a context menu that shows a loading indicator using deferred menu elements.

Notes
1️⃣ — If you control your ContextMenuView.menuConfig via state, then you can already dynamically add menu items while the context menu is visible (See ContextMenuView Example 10). However, there is no indication in the UI that items are currently being loaded. You can use a "deferred element" in order to add an action item that has a loading indicator. Once you are done loading the content, then you can replace the deferred element with the actual menu items that you want to add. 📝 Note: Deferred elements are only available on iOS 14 and above.
2️⃣ — As mentioned in the previous examples, the MenuConfig.menuItems property can accept an array of MenuElementConfig union type. This means that it can accept an array containing any of the following object types: MenuConfig object, MenuActionConfig, and DeferredMenuElementConfig. If we pass in a DeferredMenuElementConfig to menuItems, it means that we want to create "deferred element" item.
3️⃣ — To create a deferred element, we just need to create a "config" object that has a property containing both type and deferredID. The DeferredMenuElementConfig.type property must be set to a string value of 'deferred'. This indicates that we want to create a deferred element. The DeferredMenuElementConfig.deferredID property must be set to a unique string value. Since we can have multiple deferred elements, the value you pass into this property will be used to identify which deferred element will be replaced with the menu items you want to add when the loading is complete.
4️⃣ — Once the context menu is open, any deferred menu items in MenuConfig.menuItems will trigger the ContextMenuView.onRequestDeferredElement event to fire. Via the event, you will receive two arguments: deferredID string and provider callback function. The deferredID string corresponds to which deferred element that we need to load, while the provider callback function is used to provide the menu items that we want to add and replace the deferred element with.
5️⃣ — The provider callback function accepts an array of MenuElementConfig items. To replace the deferred element with the menu items you want add, simply call the provider callback function with the array of MenuConfig, MenuActionConfig, or DeferredMenuElementConfig objects. 📝 Note A: Since the deferred elements were loaded/replaced using the onRequestDeferredElement event, there are now two sources of truths for the context menu config: One provided via the ContextMenuView.menuConfig prop, and the other via the onRequestDeferredElement event. If you are using a state-controlled menu config, see: ContextMenuView Example 20. 📝 Note B: It is recommended that you cache the items you have loaded, and then combine them with the existing menuConfig once the menu has been closed.
