Usage

import {
  Menubar,
  MenubarContent,
  MenubarItem,
  MenubarMenu,
  MenubarSeparator,
  MenubarShortcut,
  MenubarTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/menubar";

export function EditorMenubar() {
  return (
    <Menubar>
      <MenubarMenu>
        <MenubarTrigger>File</MenubarTrigger>
        <MenubarContent>
          <MenubarItem>
            New file
            <MenubarShortcut>⌘N</MenubarShortcut>
          </MenubarItem>
          <MenubarSeparator />
          <MenubarItem variant="destructive">Delete file</MenubarItem>
        </MenubarContent>
      </MenubarMenu>
      <MenubarMenu>
        <MenubarTrigger>Edit</MenubarTrigger>
        <MenubarContent>
          <MenubarItem>Undo</MenubarItem>
          <MenubarItem>Redo</MenubarItem>
        </MenubarContent>
      </MenubarMenu>
    </Menubar>
  );
}

Each MenubarMenu pairs a trigger with its menu. MenubarShortcut only displays a shortcut, so bind the keys yourself. Nest menus with MenubarSub, MenubarSubTrigger and MenubarSubContent.

Composition

Examples

Checkbox items

MenubarCheckboxItem toggles a setting with checked and onCheckedChange.

import * as React from "react";

import {
  Menubar,
  MenubarCheckboxItem,
  MenubarContent,
  MenubarItem,
  MenubarMenu,
  MenubarSeparator,
  MenubarShortcut,
  MenubarTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/menubar";

export default function MenubarCheckboxItems() {
  const [toolbar, setToolbar] = React.useState(true);
  const [sidebar, setSidebar] = React.useState(true);
  const [statusBar, setStatusBar] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <Menubar>
      <MenubarMenu>
        <MenubarTrigger>View</MenubarTrigger>
        <MenubarContent>
          <MenubarCheckboxItem checked={toolbar} onCheckedChange={setToolbar}>
            Show toolbar
          </MenubarCheckboxItem>
          <MenubarCheckboxItem checked={sidebar} onCheckedChange={setSidebar}>
            Show sidebar
          </MenubarCheckboxItem>
          <MenubarCheckboxItem checked={statusBar} onCheckedChange={setStatusBar}>
            Show status bar
          </MenubarCheckboxItem>
          <MenubarSeparator />
          <MenubarItem>
            Reload
            <MenubarShortcut>⌘R</MenubarShortcut>
          </MenubarItem>
          <MenubarItem>Toggle full screen</MenubarItem>
        </MenubarContent>
      </MenubarMenu>
    </Menubar>
  );
}

Radio items

Wrap MenubarRadioItems in a MenubarRadioGroup to pick one of several values.

import * as React from "react";

import {
  Menubar,
  MenubarContent,
  MenubarGroup,
  MenubarItem,
  MenubarLabel,
  MenubarMenu,
  MenubarRadioGroup,
  MenubarRadioItem,
  MenubarSeparator,
  MenubarTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/menubar";

export default function MenubarRadioItems() {
  const [profile, setProfile] = React.useState("ada");

  return (
    <Menubar>
      <MenubarMenu>
        <MenubarTrigger>Profiles</MenubarTrigger>
        <MenubarContent>
          <MenubarGroup>
            <MenubarLabel>Switch profile</MenubarLabel>
            <MenubarRadioGroup value={profile} onValueChange={setProfile}>
              <MenubarRadioItem value="ada">Ada Park</MenubarRadioItem>
              <MenubarRadioItem value="sam">Sam Rivera</MenubarRadioItem>
              <MenubarRadioItem value="priya">Priya Shah</MenubarRadioItem>
            </MenubarRadioGroup>
          </MenubarGroup>

The tables leave out className, style and render. Parts built on Base UI take them as its styling and composition guides describe.

Menubar

Prop	Type	Default
`modal` Whether the menubar is modal.	`boolean`	`true`
`disabled` Whether the whole menubar is disabled.	`boolean`	`false`
`orientation` The orientation of the menubar.	`"horizontal" \| "vertical"`	`'horizontal'`
`loopFocus` Whether to loop keyboard focus back to the first item when the end of the list is reached while using the arrow keys.	`boolean`	`true`

MenubarMenu

Prop	Type	Default
`defaultOpen` Whether the menu is initially open. To render a controlled menu, use the `open` prop instead.	`boolean`	`false`
`loopFocus` Whether to loop keyboard focus back to the first item when the end of the list is reached while using the arrow keys.	`boolean`	`true`
`highlightItemOnHover` Whether moving the pointer over items should highlight them. Disabling this prop allows CSS `:hover` to be differentiated from the `:focus` (`data-highlighted`) state.	`boolean`	`true`
`modal` Determines if the menu enters a modal state when open. `true`: user interaction is limited to the menu: document page scroll is locked and pointer interactions on outside elements are disabled. `false`: user interaction with the rest of the document is allowed. On touch devices, a `true` modal blocks outside taps but leaves the page scrollable unless the popup spans nearly the full viewport width, matching native iOS behavior. Nested menus ignore this prop, and menus opened by hover are never modal.	`boolean`	`true`
`onOpenChange` Event handler called when the menu is opened or closed.	`((open: boolean, eventDetails: MenuRoot.ChangeEventDetails) => void)`	—
`onOpenChangeComplete` Event handler called after any animations complete when the menu is opened or closed.	`((open: boolean) => void)`	—
`onItemHighlighted` Callback fired when an item is highlighted or unhighlighted. Receives the highlighted item element (or `undefined` if no item is highlighted) and details containing the reason for the change, the event, and the item's text label. The `reason` can be: `'keyboard'`: the highlight changed due to keyboard navigation. `'pointer'`: the highlight changed due to pointer hovering. The event may be a `MouseEvent` rather than a `PointerEvent`. `'none'`: the highlight changed for another reason, such as automatic highlighting while filtering, the item list changing, or the popup opening or closing.	`((highlightedItem: HTMLElement \| undefined, eventDetails: MenuRoot.HighlightEventDetails) => void)`	—
`open` Whether the menu is currently open.	`boolean`	—
`orientation` The visual orientation of the menu. Controls whether roving focus uses up/down or left/right arrow keys.	`"horizontal" \| "vertical"`	`'vertical'`
`disabled` Whether the component should ignore user interaction.	`boolean`	`false`
`closeParentOnEsc` When in a submenu, determines whether pressing the Escape key closes the entire menu, or only the current child menu.	`boolean`	`false`
`actionsRef` A ref to imperative actions. `unmount`: Ends the closing phase of the menu after an externally controlled closing animation finishes. Call `preventUnmountOnClose()` in `onOpenChange` first, otherwise the menu completes closing on its own. Whether it leaves the DOM is decided by `keepMounted` on the portal. `close`: Closes the menu imperatively when called.	`React.RefObject<MenuRootActions \| null>`	—
`triggerId` ID of the trigger that the menu is associated with. This is useful in conjunction with the `open` prop to create a controlled menu. There's no need to specify this prop when the menu is uncontrolled (that is, when the `open` prop is not set).	`string \| null`	—
`defaultTriggerId` ID of the trigger that the menu is associated with. This is useful in conjunction with the `defaultOpen` prop to create an initially open menu.	`string \| null`	—
`handle` A handle to associate the menu with a trigger. If specified, allows external triggers to control the menu's open state.	`MenuHandle<unknown>`	—
`children` The content of the menu. This can be a regular React node or a render function that receives the `payload` of the active trigger.	`PayloadChildRenderFunction<unknown> \| React.ReactNode`	—

MenubarGroup

Prop	Type	Default
`children` The content of the component.	`React.ReactNode`	—

MenubarPortal

Prop	Type	Default
`keepMounted` Whether to keep the portal mounted in the DOM while the popup is hidden.	`boolean`	`false`
`container` A parent element to render the portal element into.	`HTMLElement \| React.RefObject<HTMLElement \| ShadowRoot \| null> \| ShadowRoot \| null`	—

MenubarTrigger

Prop	Type	Default
`children`	`React.ReactNode`	—
`disabled` Whether the component should ignore user interaction.	`boolean`	`false`
`handle` A handle to associate the trigger with a menu.	`MenuHandle<unknown>`	—
`payload` A payload to pass to the menu when it is opened.	`unknown`	—
`delay` How long to wait before the menu may be opened on hover. Specified in milliseconds. Requires the `openOnHover` prop.	`number`	`100`
`closeDelay` How long to wait before closing the menu that was opened on hover. Specified in milliseconds. Requires the `openOnHover` prop.	`number`	`0`
`openOnHover` Whether the menu should also open when the trigger is hovered.	`boolean`	—
`nativeButton` Whether the component renders a native `<button>` element when replacing it via the `render` prop. Set to `false` if the rendered element is not a button (for example, `<div>`).	`boolean`	`true`

MenubarContent

Prop	Type	Default
`children`	`React.ReactNode`	—
`id`	`string`	—
`finalFocus` Determines the element to focus when the menu is closed. `false`: Do not move focus. `true`: Move focus based on the default behavior (trigger or previously focused element). `RefObject`: Move focus to the ref element. `function`: Called with the interaction type (`mouse`, `touch`, `pen`, or `keyboard`). Return an element to focus, `true` to use the default behavior, or `false`/`undefined` to do nothing.	`boolean \| React.RefObject<HTMLElement \| null> \| ((closeType: InteractionType) => boolean \| HTMLElement \| null \| void)`	—
`sideOffset` Distance between the anchor and the popup in pixels. Also accepts a function that returns the distance to read the dimensions of the anchor and positioner elements, along with its side and alignment. The function takes a `data` object parameter with the following properties: `data.anchor`: the dimensions of the anchor element with properties `width` and `height`. `data.positioner`: the dimensions of the positioner element with properties `width` and `height`. `data.side`: which side of the anchor element the positioner is aligned against. `data.align`: how the positioner is aligned relative to the specified side.	`number \| OffsetFunction`	`4`
`alignOffset` Additional offset along the alignment axis in pixels. Also accepts a function that returns the offset to read the dimensions of the anchor and positioner elements, along with its side and alignment. The function takes a `data` object parameter with the following properties: `data.anchor`: the dimensions of the anchor element with properties `width` and `height`. `data.positioner`: the dimensions of the positioner element with properties `width` and `height`. `data.side`: which side of the anchor element the positioner is aligned against. `data.align`: how the positioner is aligned relative to the specified side.	`number \| OffsetFunction`	`-2`
`align` How to align the popup relative to the specified side. Submenus and menubars default to `'start'`.	`"center" \| "end" \| "start"`	`"start"`
`side` Which side of the anchor element to align the popup against. May automatically change to avoid collisions. Submenus and vertical menubars default to `'inline-end'`.	`"bottom" \| "inline-end" \| "inline-start" \| "left" \| "right" \| "top"`	`"bottom"`
