Custom Right-click Menu (Context Menu) In Vanilla JavaScript – CtxMenu

Preview:

Description:

CtxMenu is a dynamic, customizable context menu plugin to replace the native browser right-click menu.

How to use it:

Add the CtxMenu plugin’s JavaScript to the page.

<script src="/path/to/CtxMenu/CtxMenu.js"></script>

Create a new context menu for the entire page.

var contextMenu = CtxMenu();

Add items together with onClick functions, custom icons, list index to the context menu.

contextMenu.addItem("Item 1", function(){
  // fired on click
});
contextMenu.addItem("Item 2", function(){
  // fired on click
},Icon = "icon.png", 3);

Add a separator to the context menu.

contextMenu.addSeparator();

You can also attach the context menu to any container element you specify.

var contextMenu = CtxMenu("#myContainer");

Get menu items.

myItems = myContextMenu.getItems();
myItem = myContextMenu.getItemAtIndex(1);
