# <details-menu> element

A menu that's opened with a <details> button.

## Installation

```
$ npm install @github/details-menu-element
```

## Usage

### Script

Import as a module:

```js
import '@github/details-menu-element'
```

With a script tag:

```html

```

### Markup

```html
<details>
<summary>Robots</summary>
<details-menu role="menu">
<button type="button" role="menuitem">Hubot</button>
<button type="button" role="menuitem">Bender</button>
<button type="button" role="menuitem">BB-8</button>
</details-menu>
</details>
```

Use `data-menu-button` and `data-menu-button-text` to update the button's text on menu item activation.

```html
<details>
<summary>Preferred robot: <span data-menu-button>None</span></summary>
<details-menu role="menu">
<button type="button" role="menuitem" data-menu-button-text>Hubot</button>
<button type="button" role="menuitem" data-menu-button-text>Bender</button>
<button type="button" role="menuitem" data-menu-button-text>BB-8</button>
</details-menu>
</details>
```

Use `data-menu-button` and `data-menu-button-contents` to update the button's HTML content on menu item activation.

```html
<details>
<summary>Preferred robot: <span data-menu-button>None</span></summary>
<details-menu role="menu">
<button type="button" role="menuitem" data-menu-button-contents><img src="hubot.png"> Hubot</button>
<button type="button" role="menuitem" data-menu-button-contents><img src="bender.png"> Bender</button>
<button type="button" role="menuitem" data-menu-button-contents><img src="bb8.png"> BB-8</button>
</details-menu>
</details>
```

Use `label[tabindex="0"][role=menuitemradio/menuitemcheckbox]` when dealing with radio and checkbox inputs menu items. Check states of the input element and the label will be synchronized.

```html
<details>
<summary>Preferred robot</summary>
<details-menu role="menu">
<label tabindex="0" role="menuitemradio">
<input type="radio" name="robot" value="Hubot"> Hubot
</label>
<label tabindex="0" role="menuitemradio">
<input type="radio" name="robot" value="Bender"> Bender
</label>
<label tabindex="0" role="menuitemradio">
<input type="radio" name="robot" value="BB-8"> BB-8
</label>
</details-menu>
</details>
```

### Events

- `details-menu-select` (cancelable) - fired on `<details-menu>` with `event.detail.relatedTarget` being the item to be selected.
- `details-menu-selected` - fired on `<details-menu>` with `event.detail.relatedTarget` being the item selected, after label is updated and menu is closed.

### Deferred loading

Menu content can be loaded from a server by embedding an
[`<include-fragment>`][fragment] element.

[fragment]: https://github.com/github/include-fragment-element/

```html
<details>
<summary>Robots</summary>
<details-menu src="/robots" preload>
<include-fragment>Loading…</include-fragment>
</details-menu>
</details>
```

The `src` attribute value is copied to the `<include-fragment>` the first
time the `<details>` button is toggled open, which starts the server fetch.

If the `preload` attribute is present, the server fetch will begin on mouse
hover over the `<details>` button, so the content may be loaded by the time
the menu is opened.
