## Declaration

nonisolated func contextMenu<MenuItems>(_ contextMenu: ContextMenu<MenuItems>?) -> some View where MenuItems : View

```

## Return Value

## Discussion

Discussion Use this method to attach a specified context menu to a view. You can make the context menu unavailable by conditionally passing nil as the value for the contextMenu. The example below creates a ContextMenu that contains two items and passes them into the modifier. The Boolean value shouldShowMenu, which defaults to true, controls the context menu availability: private let menuItems = ContextMenu {     Button {         // Add this item to a list of favorites.     } label: {         Label("Add to Favorites", systemImage: "heart")     }     Button {         // Open Maps and center it on this item.     } label: {         Label("Show in Maps", systemImage: "mappin")     } }

private struct ContextMenuMenuItems: View {     @State private var shouldShowMenu = true

var body: some View {         Text("Turtle Rock")             .contextMenu(shouldShowMenu ? menuItems : nil)     } }
