Options
Basic usage
ds-menubutton can use either an html details and summary element; or div and button.
__content content uses the available options of ds-menu. See ds-menu for additional documentation on menu items.
Using details/summary elements
When using a details element, the summary element when clicked will toggle the contents of __content - the menu container, without the need for any javascript.
<details class="ds-menubutton">
<summary class="ds-text">Text content</summary>
<div class="__content">
<ul>
<li>
<a href="#">Change email</a>
</li>
<li>

</details>Using div and button elements
When using a div element, the button element requires additional javascript to open and close the menu.
At minimum, the javascript should:
- Set the
buttonattributearia-expanded="true"to show the menu contents. - Add the class
--opento menubutton container –<div class="ds-menubutton --open">to correctly set the menubuttons z-index.
<div class="ds-menubutton">
<button class="ds-button --primary --icon-settings">
<span>Button label</span>
</button>
<div class="__content">
<ul>
<li>
<a href="#">Change email</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">Contact information</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">Billing</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">Payment settings</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>Position
By default the menubutton menu is displayed below and aligned to the left of the button element.
As an alternative, the following positions are supported:
--right--fixed-left--fixed-top-left--fixed-right--fixed-top-right
Menubuttons used inside a
ds-header__controls element will automatically display aligned right.

Height
By default the menu will be the height of the menu contents. You can also restrict the overall height of the menu and cause the contents to scroll. If the menu can scroll, a shadow will be added at the bottom/top of the menu to indicate the menu is scrollable.
You can apply these settings to either a ds-menubutton or to a standalone ds-menu component.
There are two ways to restrict the height.
Restrict the height to the viewport
Adding the class --viewport to the menu will restrict the height to 100vh - --ds-header-height (usually 100vh - 60px) and force the menu to scroll.

</div>Javascript
The following example code improves functionality by only allowing one menubutton menu to be open at once.
if (NodeList.prototype.forEach) {
const menuButtons = document.querySelectorAll(
'[class*="ds-menubutton"] > summary, [class*="ds-menubutton"] > button'
);
menuButtons.forEach(button => {
button.addEventListener("click", () => {
// Keep ARIA attribute in sync with the menu state when toggling
// the menu open or closed. When using div/button, the aria-expanded
// attribute controls visibility of the menu.
let menuState = button.parentElement.open || button.getAttribute("aria-expanded") == "true";
button.setAttribute("aria-expanded", !menuState);
button.parentElement.classList.toggle("--open");
// Only allow one menubutton to be open at once
// When clicked, close all other menubutton instances
menuButtons.forEach(otherButton => {
if (otherButton !== button) {
otherButton.parentElement.open = false;
otherButton.setAttribute("aria-expanded", false);
otherButton.parentElement.classList.remove("--open");
}
});
});
});
}Accessibility
Implementation
There are two primary usage cases for ds-menubutton
- Navigation menu buttons
- Action menu buttons
Navigation menubutton
Navigation menu buttons primarily contain lists of links that will change the url and essentially display a different page or context. When used in this scenario - no specific W3C-ARIA attributes or custom keyboard functionality should be implemented.
This component is accessible by default when used for navigation menus.
Action menubutton
Action menu buttons are a menu that performs a task on the page, such as opening a modal, changing the status of a feature etc.
This component is not fully accessible by default when used for action menus, it requires the addition of the full aria attributes, and aria specific interactions via javascript.
Role and ARIA attributes
Recommendations for implementing ds-menubutton to meet W3C WAI-ARIA guidelines are as follows:
<summary aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="[true|false]">Text content</summary>
<button aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="[true|false]">Text content</button>| Element | Attribute | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
<summary> or <button> |
aria-haspopup="true" |
Required | Static | Indicates the button opens a menu |
aria-expanded="true" |
Required | Dynamic | 1. Set to true when the menu is open 2. Removed or set to false when the menu is closed |
<div role="menu" class="__content">
<ul role="none">
<li role="none"><a role="menuitem" tabindex="-1" href="#">Change email</a>
</li>
<li role="none"><a role="menuitem" tabindex="-1" href="#">Contact information</a>
</li>
<li role="none"><a role="menuitem" tabindex="-1" href="#">Billing</a>
</li>
<li role="none"><a role="menuitem" tabindex="-1" href="#">Payment settings</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>| Element | Attribute | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
<div> |
role="menu" |
Required | Static | Indicates the element is a menu |
<ul> |
role="none" |
Required | Static | Hides implied semantics from assistive technologies |
<li> |
role="none" |
Required | Static | Hides implied semantics from assistive technologies |
<a> |
role="menuitem" |
Required | Static | Indicates the element is a menuitem |
tabindex="-1" |
Required | Static | Prevents list items being selected using the tab keyboard command |
Keyboard access
By default this component can be selected using the browsers native tab keyboard command; space or enter to open or close the menu when the menu button is selected; and tab, shift-tab to move through the menu items.
When used as an action menubutton - to improve accessibility for assistive technology, additional Role, ARIA attributes and javascript is required. The following keyboard controls must be implemented to provide accessible keyboard access.
Menu button - the closed menu button is selected:
| Key | Required | Support | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Enter |
Required | _Native_ | 1. Opens the menu 2. Places focus on the first menu item |
Space |
Required | _Native_ | 1. Opens the menu 2. Places focus on the first menu item |
Tab |
Required | _Native_ | Move to the next element in the page tab sequence |
Down Arrow |
_Optional_ | Javascript | 1. Opens the menu 2. Moves focus to the first menu item |
Up Arrow |
_Optional_ | Javascript | 1. Opens the menu 2. Moves focus to the last menu item |
Menu items - the menubutton menu is open:
| Key | Required | Support | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Enter |
Required | _Native_ | Activates the selected menu item |
Escape |
Required | Javascript | 1. Closes the menu 2. Moves focus back to the menu button |
Tab |
Required | Javascript | 1. Closes the menu 2. Move to the next element in the page tab sequence |
Down Arrow |
_Optional_ | Javascript | Moves focus to the next menu item |
Up Arrow |
_Optional_ | Javascript | Moves focus to the previous menu item |

FAQ
Open the menu using javascript
This Boolean attribute indicates whether or not the details — that is, the contents of the <details> element — are currently visible. The default, false, means the details are not visible.
var details = document.getElementById('my-details');
details.open = true;Toggle the menu using javascript
In addition to the usual events supported by HTML elements, the <details> element supports the toggle event, which is dispatched to the <details> element whenever its state changes between open and closed. It is sent after the state is changed, although if the state changes multiple times before the browser can dispatch the event, the events are coalesced so that only one is sent.
var details = document.getElementById('my-details');
details.addEventListener("toggle", event => {
if (details.open) {
/_ the element was toggled open _/
} else {
/_ the element was toggled closed _/
}
});Change the width of the menu content
By default - that menu will be as wide as the content - up-to a maximum of 240px. (So if the content is less than 240px it will be smaller). You can set a specific size by overriding the class .__content or by adding an inline style tag.
To override:
