- **Menu**: Main container that manages open/close state, positioning, and provides context to child components.
- **Menu.Trigger**: Clickable element that toggles the menu visibility.
- **Menu.Portal**: Renders menu content in a portal layer above other content.
- **Menu.Overlay**: Optional background overlay to capture outside clicks and close the menu.
- **Menu.Content**: Container for menu content with two presentation modes: floating popover with positioning and collision detection, or bottom sheet modal.
- **Menu.Close**: Close button that dismisses the menu when pressed.
- **Menu.Label**: Non-interactive section heading text within the menu.
- **Menu.Group**: Groups menu items with optional selection state (none, single, multiple).
- **Menu.Item**: Pressable menu item with animated press feedback. Standalone or within a Group for selection.
- **Menu.ItemTitle**: Primary label text for a menu item.
- **Menu.ItemDescription**: Secondary description text for a menu item.
- **Menu.ItemIndicator**: Visual selection indicator (checkmark or dot) for a menu item.
- **SubMenu**: Root container that manages the expand/collapse state and provides animation context to children.
- **SubMenu.Background**: Absolute-fill layer that paints the sub-menu surface while it is open. Rendered automatically; replaceable via the `background` prop on `SubMenu`.
- **SubMenu.Trigger**: Pressable row that toggles the submenu open/closed. Styled like a regular menu item.
- **SubMenu.TriggerIndicator**: Animated chevron icon (default: chevron-right) that rotates when the submenu opens/closes. Place inside `SubMenu.Trigger`.
- **SubMenu.Content**: Absolutely positioned container that animates its height when the submenu opens/closes. Place `Menu.Item` elements inside.

## Usage

### Basic Usage

The Menu component uses compound parts to create a floating context menu.

```tsx
<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={220}>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>View Profile</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Settings</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>
```

### With Item Descriptions

Add secondary description text to menu items alongside titles.

```tsx
<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={260}>
      <Menu.Item className="items-start">
        <View className="flex-1">
          <Menu.ItemTitle>New file</Menu.ItemTitle>
          <Menu.ItemDescription>Create a new file</Menu.ItemDescription>
        </View>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item className="items-start">
        <View className="flex-1">
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Copy link</Menu.ItemTitle>
          <Menu.ItemDescription>Copy the file link</Menu.ItemDescription>
        </View>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>
```

### Single Selection

Use `Menu.Group` with `selectionMode="single"` to allow one selected item at a time.

```tsx
const [theme, setTheme] = useState<Set<MenuKey>>(() => new Set(['system']));

<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={180}>
      <Menu.Label>Appearance</Menu.Label>
      <Menu.Group
        selectionMode="single"
        selectedKeys={theme}
        onSelectionChange={setTheme}
      >
        <Menu.Item id="light">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Light</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item id="dark">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Dark</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item id="system">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>System</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
      </Menu.Group>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>;
```

### Multiple Selection

Use `selectionMode="multiple"` to allow selecting multiple items simultaneously.

```tsx
const [textStyles, setTextStyles] = useState<Set<MenuKey>>(
  () => new Set(['bold', 'italic'])
);

<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={250}>
      <Menu.Label>Text Style</Menu.Label>
      <Menu.Group
        selectionMode="multiple"
        selectedKeys={textStyles}
        onSelectionChange={setTextStyles}
      >
        <Menu.Item id="bold">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Bold</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item id="italic">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Italic</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item id="underline">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Underline</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
      </Menu.Group>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>;
```

### With SubMenu

Nest a `SubMenu` inside `Menu.Content` to reveal additional items on press.

```tsx
<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger asChild>
    <Button variant="secondary">Editor Menu</Button>
  </Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={240}>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>New Space</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
      <SubMenu>
        <SubMenu.Trigger textValue="Focus">
          <SubMenu.TriggerIndicator />
          <Text className="flex-1 text-base font-medium text-foreground">
            Focus
          </Text>
        </SubMenu.Trigger>
        <SubMenu.Content>
          <Menu.Item>
            <Menu.ItemTitle>Zen Mode</Menu.ItemTitle>
          </Menu.Item>
          <Menu.Item>
            <Menu.ItemTitle>Reader Mode</Menu.ItemTitle>
          </Menu.Item>
          <Menu.Item>
            <Menu.ItemTitle>Lock Tab</Menu.ItemTitle>
          </Menu.Item>
        </SubMenu.Content>
      </SubMenu>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Heading 1</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>
```

### Danger Variant

Use `variant="danger"` on a menu item for destructive actions.

```tsx
<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={220}>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Edit</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item variant="danger">
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Delete</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>
```

### Placements

Control where the menu appears relative to the trigger.

```tsx
<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" placement="right" width={200}>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Option A</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Option B</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>
```

### Bottom Sheet Presentation

Use `presentation="bottom-sheet"` to display menu content as a bottom sheet modal.

```tsx
<Menu presentation="bottom-sheet">
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="bottom-sheet">
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Option A</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item>
        <Menu.ItemTitle>Option B</Menu.ItemTitle>
      </Menu.Item>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>
```

### Dot Indicator

Use `variant="dot"` on `Menu.ItemIndicator` to show a filled circle instead of a checkmark.

```tsx
<Menu>
  <Menu.Trigger>...</Menu.Trigger>
  <Menu.Portal>
    <Menu.Overlay />
    <Menu.Content presentation="popover" width={180}>
      <Menu.Group
        selectionMode="single"
        selectedKeys={alignment}
        onSelectionChange={setAlignment}
      >
        <Menu.Item id="left">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator variant="dot" />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Left</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item id="center">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator variant="dot" />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Center</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
        <Menu.Item id="right">
          <Menu.ItemIndicator variant="dot" />
          <Menu.ItemTitle>Right</Menu.ItemTitle>
        </Menu.Item>
      </Menu.Group>
    </Menu.Content>
  </Menu.Portal>
</Menu>
```

```tsx
import type { MenuKey } from 'heroui-native';
import { Button, Menu, Separator } from 'heroui-native';
import { useState } from 'react';
import { Text, View } from 'react-native';

export default function MenuExample() {
  const [textStyles, setTextStyles] = useState<Set<MenuKey>>(
    () => new Set(['bold', 'italic'])
  );
  const [alignment, setAlignment] = useState<Set<MenuKey>>(
    () => new Set(['left'])

#### SubMenu.Background

Absolute-fill layer rendered behind the open sub-menu surface. It paints the sub-menu surface coat (`--color-overlay`) and, with no children, the layer chosen by the active library theme — a `GlassView` blur under the `glass` theme, nothing under the default theme.

The surface is mounted only while the sub-menu is open (and faded out on close) so the collapsed trigger row keeps the menu surface it sits on. That matters under themes with a translucent `--color-overlay`, where a permanent coat would tint the trigger row twice and make it read differently from its sibling `Menu.Item`s.

Replace it via the `background` prop on `SubMenu` — a custom node takes over the mount and exit transition as well, so wrap content in `SubMenu.Background` to keep the absolute-fill, surface coat, and clipping:

```tsx
<SubMenu
  background={
    <SubMenu.Background>
      <LinearGradient
        colors={['#ffffff22', '#ffffff05']}
        style={StyleSheet.absoluteFill}
      />
    </SubMenu.Background>
  }
>
  ...
</SubMenu>
```

Passing `background={null}` removes the layer entirely, leaving the open sub-menu transparent over the menu content.

## Special Notes

### Element Inspector (iOS)

Menu uses FullWindowOverlay on iOS. To enable the React Native element inspector during development, set `disableFullWindowOverlay={true}` on `Menu.Portal`. Tradeoff: the menu will not appear above native modals when disabled.

### Native Modal (iOS)

When a `Menu` is opened inside a screen presented as a native modal (`presentation: 'modal' | 'formSheet' | 'pageSheet'`), the menu content may render shifted upward. In the new architecture (Fabric), `react-native-screens` marks `RNSModalScreen` as a Fabric root, so the trigger's position is reported relative to the modal's origin while `FullWindowOverlay` (where the menu is mounted) is anchored to the iOS application window. Compensate by adding `safeAreaInsets.top` to `offset`:

```tsx
import { useSafeAreaInsets } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';

const insets = useSafeAreaInsets();

<Menu.Content presentation="popover" offset={insets.top}>
  ...
</Menu.Content>;
```
