Enum Item 

pub enum Item {
    Action {
        label: SharedString,
        description: Option<SharedString>,
        tooltip: Option<SharedString>,
        icon: Option<Icon>,
        keystroke: Option<SharedString>,
        checked: bool,
        enabled: bool,
    },
    Submenu {
        label: SharedString,
        icon: Option<Icon>,
        enabled: bool,
        items: Vec<Item>,
    },
    Separator,
}

A row in a menu.

Deliberately not a struct with an is_separator flag: a separator has no label, no accelerator and nothing to enable, and every one of those fields would have to be answered anyway.

Variants

Action

Fields

label: SharedString

description: Option<SharedString>

A second line under the label, for a row whose name does not say enough on its own — what a command will do, which file it will act on. None keeps the row one line tall; nothing reserves space for a description the way the glyph gutter reserves space for an icon, because a row’s two lines read as one block and a blank second line would read as a gap.

tooltip: Option<SharedString>

Hover text for the row, shown after gpui’s tooltip delay. Where the whole of a Item::with_description too long for its one line goes, and where a disabled row says why — a disabled row takes no click, but it still takes a tooltip.

icon: Option<Icon>

The leading glyph. A menu where no row has one keeps no room for it.

keystroke: Option<SharedString>

The accelerator to print — the binding itself is the app’s, and bezel never dispatches it. A menu that showed a keystroke it did not own would be documenting a lie.

checked: bool

The choice the menu is currently on, marked with a trailing check.

enabled: bool

Submenu

A row that drops a menu of its own, the way a SwiftUI Menu nests inside a Menu. It carries no accelerator and nothing to check: the only thing choosing it does is open.

Fields

label: SharedString

icon: Option<Icon>

enabled: bool

items: Vec<Item>

Separator

Implementations

impl Item

pub fn action(label: impl Into<SharedString>) -> Self

pub fn submenu(label: impl Into<SharedString>, items: Vec<Item>) -> Self

pub fn with_icon(self, icon: impl Into<Icon>) -> Self

No-ops on a separator, which has nothing to hang a glyph on.

pub fn with_description(self, description: impl Into<SharedString>) -> Self

A second line under the label. No-ops on anything but an action row: a submenu’s second line is the panel it opens, and a separator has no first line to put one under.

pub fn with_long_description(self, description: impl Into<SharedString>) -> Self

The description and the whole of it on hover, from one string. A sentence long enough to need clipping is one no caller should have to write twice — two copies of it drift.

pub fn with_tooltip(self, tooltip: impl Into<SharedString>) -> Self

Hover text for the row — the rest of a description the row had to clip, or why a disabled row is disabled. No-ops on anything but an action row: a submenu row is already hovered to open it, and a label the pointer waits on top of would fight the panel it drops.

pub fn with_keystroke(self, keystroke: impl Into<SharedString>) -> Self

No-ops on anything but an action row: a submenu’s keystroke is the arrow that opens it, and a separator has nothing to hang one on.

pub fn checked(self, checked: bool) -> Self

Takes the flag, because what a menu is on is decided per render. No-ops on a submenu, which is not itself a choice.

pub fn disabled(self) -> Self

pub fn selectable(&self) -> bool

Whether the keyboard and the pointer can land here at all. A submenu with nothing to choose in it counts as unlandable: opening it would drop a panel that is a dead end.
