Menus

A menu is a dropdown list with a trigger that controls the visibility of the list items. To create an accessible menu, use lightning:buttonMenu. Provide a text label or assistive text, and specify a list of menu items using lightning:menuItem. The dropdown menu items are hidden by default.

The alternativeText attribute provides a text label that’s hidden from view and available to assistive technology.

lightning:buttonMenu implements the menu blueprint in the Salesforce Lightning Design System and follows its accessibility guidelines.
