Dropdown Menu

Displays a menu to the user — such as a set of actions or functions — triggered by a button, built on the Base UI Menu primitive.

API reference

DropdownMenu

Extends the Base UI Menu Root — all its props apply.

Prop	Type	Default
`open` / `defaultOpen`	`boolean`	`false`
`onOpenChange`	`(open: boolean) => void`	—
`modal`	`boolean`	`true`
`loopFocus`	`boolean` — arrow keys wrap (not `loop`)	`true`
`closeParentOnEsc`	`boolean` — Esc in a submenu closes the parent	—

DropdownMenuTrigger

The only part rendering a native <button>; accepts the render prop. Hover-opening lives here (and on DropdownMenuSubTrigger), not the Root.

Prop	Type	Default
`openOnHover`	`boolean`	`false`
`delay`	`number`	`100` (ms)

DropdownMenuItem, DropdownMenuCheckboxItem, DropdownMenuRadioItem

All render <div> elements — disabled styling comes from the data-disabled attribute, not the disabled HTML attribute. closeOnClick defaults differ: true on Item, false on CheckboxItem/RadioItem, so toggling options keeps the menu open.

Prop	Type	Default
`variant` (Item)	`"default" \| "destructive"`	`"default"`
`inset`	`boolean` — align with checkables	`false`
`checked` / `onCheckedChange` (CheckboxItem)	`boolean` / callback	—
`value` (RadioItem)	`string` (required)	—
