Key props

​
sideOffset
number
default:"4"
Space in pixels between trigger and content.
​
DropdownMenuItem.variant
string
default | destructive — styles a dangerous action.
This component forwards all props from Radix Dropdown Menu primitives (Root/Trigger/Content/Item, etc.). Above are commonly used props. For the full API, see Radix docs: https://www.radix-ui.com/primitives/docs/components/dropdown-menu

​
Styling tip

  • Keep menus compact (text-sm). Use separators and labels to group related actions.
  • For submenus, use DropdownMenuSub and related parts.

​
Accessibility

  • Trigger is a native button by default (asChild supported).
  • Arrow keys navigate items; checked/radio items announce state.
