There is an issue(facebook/react-native#29246) causing projects with this module to fail on build on React Native 0.63 and above.
This issue may be fixed in future versions of react native.
As a work around, look for lines in [YourPrject].xcodeproj
under LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS
with "\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.0/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",
and change swift-5.0
to swift-5.3
.
The package is automatically linked when building the app. All you need to do is:
npx pod-install
import { MenuView, MenuComponentRef } from '@react-native-menu/menu';
// ...
const App = () => {
const menuRef = useRef<MenuComponentRef>(null);
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Button
title="Show Menu with ref (Android only)"
onPress={() => menuRef.current?.show()}
/>
<MenuView
ref={menuRef}
title="Menu Title"
onPressAction={({ nativeEvent }) => {
console.warn(JSON.stringify(nativeEvent));
}}
actions={[
{
id: 'add',
title: 'Add',
titleColor: '#2367A2',
image: Platform.select({
ios: 'plus',
android: 'ic_menu_add',
}),
imageColor: '#2367A2',
subactions: [
{
id: 'nested1',
title: 'Nested action',
titleColor: 'rgba(250,180,100,0.5)',
subtitle: 'State is mixed',
image: Platform.select({
ios: 'heart.fill',
android: 'ic_menu_today',
}),
imageColor: 'rgba(100,200,250,0.3)',
state: 'mixed',
},
{
id: 'nestedDestructive',
title: 'Destructive Action',
attributes: {
destructive: true,
},
image: Platform.select({
ios: 'trash',
android: 'ic_menu_delete',
}),
},
],
},
{
id: 'share',
title: 'Share Action',
titleColor: '#46F289',
subtitle: 'Share action on SNS',
image: Platform.select({

android: 'ic_menu_share',
}),
imageColor: '#46F289',
state: 'on',
},
{
id: 'destructive',
title: 'Destructive Action',
attributes: {
destructive: true,
},
image: Platform.select({
ios: 'trash',
android: 'ic_menu_delete',
}),
},
]}
shouldOpenOnLongPress={false}

<View style={styles.button}>

</View>
</MenuView>

);
};
It's also possible to obtain the action

package, and see an example here.

Callback function that will be called when selecting a menu item. It will contain id of the given action.
Type | Required |
---|---|
({nativeEvent}) => void | No |
Callback function that will be called when the menu is dismissed. This event fires at the start of the dismissal, before any animations complete.
Type | Required |
---|---|
() => void | No |
Callback function that will be called when the menu is opened. This event fires right before the menu is displayed.
Type | Required |
---|---|
() => void | No |
Example usage:
<MenuView
onOpenMenu={() => {
console.log('Menu was opened');
}}
onCloseMenu={() => {
console.log('Menu was closed');
}}
// ... other props
>
<View>
<Text>Open Menu</Text>
</View>
</MenuView>
You might want to use custom icons in the MenuAction image
attribute. To do so, follow these steps.
-
Search for your icon on e.g. Material Icons, customize the fill, weight, grade etc. to your liking and then press the
Android
tab and clickDownload
. This wil download an xml file, e.g.search_24px.xml
. You can create your own icon or get it somewhere else, as long as it is in a format that Android understands. -
If using bare react-native, copy the downloaded xml file to your
android/app/src/main/res/drawable
folder. If you are using Expo, add a dependency on @expo/config-plugins, and then you can use an expo config plugin to copy the file from yourassets
folder to the drawable folder. Copy the config plugin to your app and reference it in yourapp.json
orapp.config.js
in theplugins
section like this:{ "expo": { "plugins": [ [ "./plugin/withAndroidDrawables", { "drawableFiles": [ "./assets/my_icon.xml" ] } ] ] } }
-
In your
MenuAction
you can now reference the icon using its file name, without the.xml
extension. For example,image: 'my_icon'
will use themy_icon.xml
file you copied to the drawable folder. -
Remember to run a new build to see changes to these icons.
In some cases, you might want to mock the package to test your components. You can do this by using the jest.mock
function.
import type { MenuComponentProps } from '@react-native-menu/menu';
jest.mock('@react-native-menu/menu', () => ({
MenuView: jest.fn((props: MenuComponentProps) => {
const React = require('react');
class MockMenuView extends React.Component {
render() {
return React.createElement(
'View',
{ testID: props.testID },
// Dynamically mock each action
props.actions.map(action =>
React.createElement('Button', {
key: action.id,
title: action.title,
onPress: () => {
if (action.id && props?.onPressAction) {
props.onPressAction({ nativeEvent: { event: action.id } });
}
},
testID: action.id
})
),
this.props.children
);
}
}
return React.createElement(MockMenuView, props);
})
}));
