Table Row Actions Dropdown Menu for Solid

A narrow row actions menu for data tables, with edit, duplicate, favorite, report, archive and delete.

UI library: Ark UI

A small vertical-dots button opens Edit, Duplicate, Favorite, Report, Archive, and a destructive Delete. The button reads Row actions and does not name the row.

Use it when a row has several actions and no room for each button. The same list on a right-click is a Context Menu. In Solid, Ark UI does not know which row you meant.

FAQ

What actions are on the row?

Edit and Duplicate, a separator, Favorite and Report, a separator, then Archive and Delete. Each row starts with an icon that is aria-hidden.

How is Delete marked?

variant="destructive" on that DropdownMenuItem, after a trash icon. Archive, next to it, keeps the default variant. The variant colors the row and doesn't confirm the action.

What does the trigger look like?

A ghost Button with size="icon-sm", aria-label set to Row actions and a vertical dots icon. The menu lines up with the end of the button. End alignment is DropdownMenu's default bottom-end placement; pass positioning to change it.

Should the button say which row it acts on?

In a real table, yes. Every row's button reads Row actions here; include the row's name in its aria-label, such as Actions for invoice 1042, so screen reader users know which row they're on.

Should this open on right-click instead?

This demo opens from the row's button. Use a Context Menu when the same list should open from a right-click or a long press on the row; keep the button too, since a right-click is hard to discover.

How do I run Edit or Delete?

The menu closes after a choice. Handle it where your library reports the chosen item. Set onSelect on DropdownMenu. It receives details.value, the chosen item's value.
