Creating programmatic menus using the MenuModel API

PrimeNG provides a MenuModel API, which will be shared by all menu components to specify menu items and sub-menus. The core item of the MenuModel API is the MenuItem class with options such as label, icon, url, child menu items with the items option, and so on.

Let's take an example of the Menu component to represent a common toolbar user interface. The Menu component is binding an array of the MenuItem classes as items through the model property as follows:

<p-menu [model]="items"></p-menu>

MenuItem is the key item in the MenuModel API. It has the following list of properties. Each property is described with the type, default value, and its description:

Name Type Default Description
label string null Text of the item.
icon string null Icon of the item.
command function null Callback to execute when the item is clicked.
url string null External link to navigate when the item is clicked.
