<zg-menu>

The <zg-menu> tag is a web component container for a custom menu that can be used as a context or static (aka "Hamburger") menu. The element is generally dynamically inserted by the library, but the developer can append or overwrite the menu with custom entries. The element can be styled using CSS variables and CSS selectors.

  src="https://cdn.zinggrid.com/datasets/user-roles.json"
  context-menu="mymenu">
  <zg-menu id="mymenu" replace="true">
    <p>This content replaces the built-in menu</p>
  </zg-menu>
</zing-grid>

You can also add a default menu via the static-menu attribute, like so:

<zing-grid 
  src="https://cdn.zinggrid.com/datasets/user-roles.json"
  static-menu>
</zing-grid>
