Installing on iOS with React Native 0.63 and above

There is an issue(facebook/react-native#29246) causing projects with this module to fail on build on React Native 0.63 and above. This issue may be fixed in future versions of react native. As a work around, look for lines in [YourPrject].xcodeproj under LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS with "\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.0/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"", and change swift-5.0 to swift-5.3.

Linking

The package is automatically linked when building the app. All you need to do is:

npx pod-install

Usage

import { MenuView, MenuComponentRef } from '@react-native-menu/menu';

// ...

const App = () => {
  const menuRef = useRef<MenuComponentRef>(null);
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Button
        title="Show Menu with ref (Android only)"
        onPress={() => menuRef.current?.show()}
      />
      <MenuView
        ref={menuRef}
        title="Menu Title"
        onPressAction={({ nativeEvent }) => {
          console.warn(JSON.stringify(nativeEvent));
        }}

Testing with Jest

In some cases, you might want to mock the package to test your components. You can do this by using the jest.mock function.

import type { MenuComponentProps } from '@react-native-menu/menu';

jest.mock('@react-native-menu/menu', () => ({
  MenuView: jest.fn((props: MenuComponentProps) => {
    const React = require('react');

    class MockMenuView extends React.Component {
      render() {
        return React.createElement(
          'View',
          { testID: props.testID },
          // Dynamically mock each action
          props.actions.map(action =>
            React.createElement('Button', {
              key: action.id,
              title: action.title,
              onPress: () => {
                if (action.id && props?.onPressAction) {
                  props.onPressAction({ nativeEvent: { event: action.id } });
                }
              },
              testID: action.id
            })
          ),
          this.props.children
        );
      }
    }

    return React.createElement(MockMenuView, props);
  })
}));
