Table Export Menu Context Menu for React

A right-click table menu with an Export Data submenu for CSV, Excel, PDF, and JSON, plus Download Selected Rows.

The dashed area reads Right click here. Export Data lists Export as CSV, Export as Excel, Export as PDF, and Export as JSON. Download Selected Rows follows.

Use it when export formats would crowd the top of the menu. Disable Download Selected Rows when nothing is selected, and offer the same export from a Button. In React, Base UI does not build the file.

FAQ

How are the submenus built?

ContextMenuSub wraps a ContextMenuSubTrigger, with its icon and label, and a ContextMenuSubContent with the nested items. Hovering the trigger or pressing the right arrow opens it, and the left arrow closes it.

How are the icons added?

A Lucide icon as the first child of each item, hidden from assistive tech since the label names the action. The menu styles size and space it.

What opens the menu?

A right-click inside the dashed area, which reads Right click here on a mouse and Long press here on a touch screen. The area is ContextMenuTrigger; a long press on it opens the menu too. Wrap your own row, file or canvas in the trigger instead.

How do I run an action when an item is chosen?

Pass onClick to each ContextMenuItem.

The menu closes after the action runs.

How do keyboard and touch users find these actions?

The arrow keys move through an open menu, Enter runs an item and Escape closes it. A right-click is easy to miss, so also offer the same actions from a visible button, such as a Dropdown Menu.

How do I disable Download Selected Rows with nothing selected?

Disable it until rows are selected. Pass disabled to the item.
