Account Settings Dropdown Dropdown Menu for Vue

An account menu opened from the user's avatar and name, with a profile header, Account and Billing groups, and log out.

UI library: Ark UI

The button shows an avatar and the user's name. The menu repeats a larger avatar and the email, then Account and Billing groups, and a destructive Log out.

Use it when account and billing commands should stay off the page until asked. If signing out needs a confirm, use an Alert Dialog. In Vue, Ark UI does not end the session.

FAQ

What does the account button show?

An outline Button with a size-6 Avatar and the name, shadcn. The menu is w-64 and lines up with the end of the button. End alignment is DropdownMenu's default bottom-end placement.

What is the block at the top of the menu?

A DropdownMenuLabel with font-normal that holds a size-10 avatar, the name and m@example.com. It sits in its own DropdownMenuGroup, isn't focusable and can't be picked.

How are Account and Billing split?

Two DropdownMenuGroups, each starting with its DropdownMenuLabel, with a DropdownMenuSeparator between them. Account holds Profile Settings, Email Preferences, Notifications and Privacy & Security; Billing holds Payment Methods and Team Subscription.

Which icon goes with which row?

A user icon for Profile Settings, mail for Email Preferences, a bell for Notifications, a lock for Privacy & Security, a card for Payment Methods, people for Team Subscription and a log out arrow for Log out. All are aria-hidden.

How is Log out marked?

variant="destructive" on its DropdownMenuItem, after the last separator. It only colors the row: sign out, or confirm first, in its handler.

How do I run code when a row is chosen?

The menu closes after a choice. Navigate or sign out where your library reports it. Listen to @select on DropdownMenu. It receives details.value, such as payment-methods.
