MenuBuilder.Items(Action<CollectionFactory<MenuItemBuilder>>) Method

Provides access to the client-side items option that represents a Menu item collection.

Namespace: DevExtreme.AspNet.Mvc.Builders

Assembly: DevExtreme.AspNet.Core.dll

#Declaration

C#
public MenuBuilder Items(
    Action<CollectionFactory<MenuItemBuilder>> configurator
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
configurator Action<CollectionFactory<MenuItemBuilder>>

A function that allows you to add items to the collection.

#Returns

Type Description
MenuBuilder

A reference to this instance after the method is called.

#Remarks

To configure a Menu item collection, use a multiline lambda expression. In this case, a lambda parameter performs the role of a collection factory, and its Add() method adds a new item to the collection. The Add() method returns MenuItemBuilder whose methods you can use to configure an item.

@(Html.DevExtreme().Menu()
    .Items(items => {
        items.Add(); // call methods to configure a Menu item
        items.Add();
    })
)
