⚡ Installation

npm install v-dock-menu

🚀 Getting Started

v-dock-menu has some great defaults. Please check the prop section for all available options.

The following snippet creates a simple Menubar and docks it to the top of the page.

<template>
  <v-dock-menu :items="items">
  </v-dock-menu>
</template>

<script>
import { DockMenu } from "v-dock-menu";
import "v-dock-menu/dist/v-dock-menu.css";

export default {
  name: "example",
  components: {
    DockMenu
  },
  data() {
    return {
      items = [
        {
          name: "File",
          menu: [{ name: "Open"}, {name: "New Window"}, {name: "Exit"}]
        },
        {
          name: "Edit",
          menu: [{ name: "Cut"}, {name: "Copy"}, {name: "Paste"}]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
</script>

Props

Name	Description	Default
dock	default docking position. Can be any one of TOP, LEFT, RIGHT, BOTTOM	TOP
on-selected	Callback that will be called on a menu item selection
items	Data for the Menu bar	[]
theme	prop to customize the color theme
draggable	enables/disbales dragging on the menubar.	false

⚓ Dock

use the dock prop to dock the menubar to your preferred position. The prop can accept the following values TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT.

Here we dock the Menu bar to the right side of the screen.

<v-dock-menu>
  :items="items"
  dock="RIGHT"
</v-dock-menu>

📡 on-selected

The on-selected prop is used to retrieve the selected menu item. The callback receives an object with name and a path property.

• name - Name of the selected menu item.
• path - Full path of the selected menu item.

if you select the Copy menu item under the Edit menu, below would be the payload received on the on-selected callback.

{
  name: "Copy",
  path: "edit>copy"
}

⚡ Populating Menu

Use the items prop to create Simple or Nested menus of your liking.

Here we create a simple Menu structure with 3 Menu items with Edit and Open Recent having sub menus.

• To include a divider, set an empty item object with just a isDivider property set to true.
• To disable an item, set disable to true.

const items = [
  { name: "New" },
  { isDivider: true },
  {
    name: "Edit",
    menu: {
      name: "edit-items",
      disable:  true
    },
  },
  { isDivider: true },
  {
    name: "Open Recent",
    menu: {
      name: "recent-items",
    },
  },
  { isDivider: true },
  { name: "Save", disable: true },
  { name: "Save As..." },
  { isDivider: true },
  { name: "Close" },
  { name: "Exit" },
]

  <v-dock-menu>
    :items="items"
    dock="BOTTOM"
  </v-dock-menu>

🎨 Custom color scheme

use the theme prop to customize the colors of the menu bar.

  <menu-bar
    :items="items"
    :on-selected="selected"
    :theme="{
      primary: '#001B48',
      secondary: '#02457a',
      tertiary: '#018abe',
      textColor: '#fff'
    }"
  />

🎭 Icon support

Each menu item can be iconified and the component uses slots to inject the icons.

Pass individual icons (or images) as templates marked with a unique slot id. please make sure the ids match the iconSlot property in the items array.

<menu-bar
  :items="items"
  :on-selected="selected"
>
  <template #file>
    <img
      src="../assets/file.svg"
      alt="file"
      :style="style"
    >
  </template>
  <template #window>
    <img
      src="../assets/window-maximize.svg"
      alt="file"
      :style="style"
    >
  </template>
</menu-bar>

export default defineComponent({
  name: "MenuExample",
  data()  {
    return {
      items: [
        { name: "New File", iconSlot: "file" },
        { name: "New Window", iconSlot: "window" },
      ]
    }
  }
})

This works seamlessly even for nested menu structure. Make sure the slot ids match and the component will render the icons appropriately.

<menu-bar
  :items="items"
  :on-selected="selected"
>
  <template #window>
    <img
      src="../assets/window-maximize.svg"
      alt="file"
      :style="style"
    >
  </template>
</menu-bar>

export default defineComponent({
  name: "MenuExample",
  data()  {
    return {
      items: [
        { name: "New File",
        subMenu: [{ name: "New Window", iconSlot: "window" }]},
      ]
    }
  }
});
