An awesome menu widget that makes it easy to create standalone menus, dropdown menus, and context menus either from JavaScript or from existing markup.

Usage

In your HTML, create a container element for the menu. Be sure to add the yui3-skin-sam class if you want to use the menu’s default skin.

<div id="menu" class="yui3-skin-sam"></div>

Load YUI onto the page if you haven’t already.

<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.9.0/build/yui/yui-min.js"></script>

Next, in your JS, create an instance of Y.Menu, specify some menu items, then render the menu into its container element.

YUI({
    gallery: 'gallery-2013.03.20-19-59'
}).use('gallery-sm-menu', function (Y) {
    // Create a new menu and render it inside the #menu node.
    var menu = new Y.Menu({
        container: '#menu',

        items: [
            {label: 'First Item', url: 'http://www.example.com/'},
            {label: 'Second Item', children: [
                {label: 'Submenu Item'},
                {label: 'Another Submenu Item'}
            ]},

            {type: 'separator'},

            {label: 'Group Heading', type: 'heading'},
            {label: 'Another Item'}
        ]
    });

    menu.render();
}

Alternatively, you can parse existing list markup to generate the contents of the menu. Note that the existing markup is consumed and re-rendered in this process.

HTML

<div id="menu" class="yui3-skin-sam">
    <ul id="menu-data">
        <li><a href="http://www.example.com/">First Item</a></li>

        <li>
            Second Item

            <ul>
                <li>Submenu Item</li>
                <li>Another Submenu Item</li>
            </ul>
        </li>

        <li class="yui3-menu-separator"></li>
        <li class="yui3-menu-heading">Group Heading</li>
        <li>Another Item</li>
    </ul>
</div>

JS

YUI().use('gallery-sm-menu', function (Y) {
    var menu = new Y.Menu({
        container : '#menu',
        sourceNode: '#menu-data'
    });

    menu.render();
});
