jQuery Contextify - Lightweight Context Menu

A lightweight jQuery plugin for creating Bootstrap powered context menus.

Setup

Load from CDN

The easiest way to get up and running is to load jQuery Contextify using a CDN. Make sure jQuery is loaded first though.

<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-contextify/1.0.8/jquery.contextify.min.js"></script>

<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.contextify/1.0.8/jquery.contextify.min.js"></script>

Install with Bower

Use the following command to install jQuery Contextify using bower.

$ bower install jquery-contextify

Or simply add jquery-contextify to your project's bower.json.

  "dependencies": {
    "jquery-contextify": "latest"
  }

Download

You can also just download the latest package.

Download latest version
or curl -O https://raw.github.com/abeMedia/jquery-contextify/master/dist/jquery.contextify.js

Usage

jQuery Contextify needs to be activated via JavaScript.

$('.foo').contextify(options);

The menu items are passed as an array in options.items. See the following example for creating a basic context menu.

<a class="foo" href="#" data-name="John">Click me</a>

<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-contextify/1.0.8/jquery.contextify.min.js"></script>
<script>
var options = {items:[
  {header: 'Options'},
  {text: 'First Link', href: '#'},
  {text: 'Second Link', onclick: function(e) {
    alert('Hello ' + e.data.name);
  }},
  {divider: true},
  {text: 'Stuff', href: '#'}
]}
$('.foo').contextify(options);
</script>

This will initiate jQuery Contextify on the .foo elements with the menu items specified in options.items.
