# contextMenu(menuItems:) Adds a context menu to a table row. ``` @MainActor @preconcurrency func contextMenu(@ContentBuilder menuItems: () -> M) -> ModifiedContent> where M : View ``` ## Parameters `menuItems` A closure that produces the menu’s contents. You can deactivate the context menu by returning nothing from the closure. ## Return Value A row that can display a context menu. ## Discussion Use this modifier to add a context menu to a table row. Compose the menu by returning controls like [`Button`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Button), [`Toggle`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Toggle), and [`Picker`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Picker) from the `menuItems` closure. You can also use [`Menu`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Menu) to define submenus, or [`Section`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section) to group items. The following example adds a context menu to each row in a table that people can use to send an email to the person represented by that row: ``` Table(of: Person.self) { TableColumn("Given Name", value: \.givenName) TableColumn("Family Name", value: \.familyName) } rows: { ForEach(people) { person in TableRow(person) .contextMenu { Button("Send Email...") { } } } } ``` If you want to display a preview beside the context menu, use [`contextMenu(menuItems:preview:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/TableRowContent/contextMenu(menuItems:preview:)). If you want to display a context menu that’s based on the current selection, use [`contextMenu(forSelectionType:menu:primaryAction:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/contextMenu(forSelectionType:menu:primaryAction:)). To add context menus to other kinds of views, use [`contextMenu(menuItems:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/contextMenu(menuItems:)). --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
