# Menu

A control for presenting a menu of actions.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated struct Menu<Label, Content> where Label : View, Content : View
```

## Mentioned in

Building and customizing the menu bar with SwiftUI Populating SwiftUI menus with adaptive controls

## Overview

Overview The following example presents a menu of three buttons and a submenu, which contains three buttons of its own. Menu("Actions") {     Button("Duplicate", action: duplicate)     Button("Rename", action: rename)     Button("Delete…", action: delete)     Menu("Copy") {         Button("Copy", action: copy)         Button("Copy Formatted", action: copyFormatted)         Button("Copy Library Path", action: copyPath)     } } You can create the menu’s title with a LocalizedStringKey, as seen in the previous example, or with a content builder that creates multiple views, such as an image and a text view: Menu {     Button("Open in Preview", action: openInPreview)     Button("Save as PDF", action: saveAsPDF) } label: {     Label("PDF", systemImage: "doc.fill") } To support subtitles on menu items, initialize your Button with a view builder that creates multiple Text views where the first text represents the title and the second text represents the subtitle. The same approach applies to other controls such as Toggle: Menu {     Button(action: openInPreview) {         Text("Open in Preview")         Text("View the document in Preview")     }     Button(action: saveAsPDF) {         Text("Save as PDF")         Text("Export the document as a PDF file")     } } label: {     Label("PDF", systemImage: "doc.fill") } note: This behavior does not apply to buttons outside of a menu’s content. Primary action Menus can be created with a custom primary action. The primary action will be performed when the user taps or clicks on the body of the control, and the menu presentation will happen on a secondary gesture, such as on long press or on click of the menu indicator. The following example creates a menu that adds bookmarks, with advanced options that are presented in a menu. Menu {     Button(action: addCurrentTabToReadingList) {         Label("Add to Reading List", systemImage: "eyeglasses")     }     Button(action: bookmarkAll) {         Label("Add Bookmarks for All Tabs", systemImage: "book")     }     Button(action: show) {         Label("Show All Bookmarks", systemImage: "books.vertical")     } } label: {     Label("Add Bookmark", systemImage: "book") } primaryAction: {     addBookmark() } Styling menus Use the menuStyle(_:) modifier to change the style of all menus in a view. The following example shows how to apply a custom style: Menu("Editing") {     Button("Set In Point", action: setInPoint)     Button("Set Out Point", action: setOutPoint) } .menuStyle(EditingControlsMenuStyle())
