These are just a few examples of the menu components available in PrimeNG. Depending on your application’s requirements, you can choose the most appropriate menu component to create a seamless and intuitive navigation experience.

Creating a basic menu

Suppose you want a horizontal menu at the top of your e-commerce application’s home page. This menu includes categories such as electronics, clothing, home and kitchen, and sports and fitness, and each category represents a drop-down menu that expands when users hover over it or click on it.

To get started, we need to import the necessary modules from the PrimeNG library:

import {MenuModule} from 'primeng/menu'

Once the dependencies are installed and imported, let’s see how a PrimeNG menu can be set up:

import { MenuItem } from 'primeng/api' <p-menu [model]="menuItems" /> ... menuItems: MenuItem[] = [ { label: 'Electronics', items: [ { label: 'Computers', routerLink: '/products/computers' }, { label: 'Smartphones', routerLink: '/products/smartphones' }, { label: 'Televisions', routerLink: '/products/televisions' }, ], }, ... ]

Let’s break down the code:

<p-menu [model]="menuItems" />: This represents the usage of the PrimeNG Menu component. It binds the model property of the Menu component to the menuItems variable.

menuItems: MenuItem[]: This is an array of MenuItem objects from the PrimeNG API. Each MenuItem object can have various properties, such as label, items, routerLink, routerLinkActiveOptions, and so on.
