Menus

A menu is a drop-down list with a trigger that controls its visibility. You must provide the trigger and list of menu items. The dropdown menu and its menu items are hidden by default. You can change this by setting the visible attribute on the ui:menuList component to true. The menu items are shown only when you click the ui:menuTriggerLink component.

This example creates a menu with several items.

You can display a list of items from an object. This example displays a list of contact names in a menu using aura:iteration.
