Feature: Menu position offset

[nobalmohan]

In SPA with fixed height, there should be an option to position the menu via CSS class or by JS.

         if( event.pageY > 360 ) {
             popupPosition = (event.pageY - 250) + 'px';
         }else {
             popupPosition = event.pageY + 'px';
         }

         $ul.css({
             display: 'block',
             position: 'absolute',
             left: event.pageX + 'px',
             top: popupPosition,
             width: '15%'
         });

Maybe something more along the lines of an anchor ability.

<any context-menu="" context-menu-anchor="top left"></any>

Where contextMenuAnchor can be:

default            - Calculate based on position and contextmenu size.
bottom right
bottom left
top right
top left

Would be a nice idea to have in the future.

Yup. Something like this http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#/popover

Yep. Now we wait for someone to make a pull request, or me to get bored enough to code it. :smile_cat:

[nobalmohan]

Give me the spec on how to do it. I will make a PR

There are two use-case here: 1. Positioning of the pop-up 2. Making it fluid with respect to view port

Correct. I'm working on client work tonight. Will type out a spec of what it should look like/features tomorrow. :sweat_smile:

[Templarian]

So basically it will support the following locations...

I'm not 100% sure the best way to implement this. Basically:

1. Render the full context menu.
2. Get the width and height of the context menu.
3. Calculate screen.height - (cursorPosition.y + contextMenu.height) = offset.y
4. Similar to above calculate, screen.width - (cursorPosition.x + contextMenu.width) = offset.x
5. Offset based on offset values from 4 and 5 as long as they are negative.

That is the basic idea.

Thankns. This snippet will be helpful https://github.com/angular-ui-tree/angular-ui-tree/blob/master/source/directives/uiTreeNode.js#L168

:+1: this would be very helpful; any progress so far? :)

[Templarian]

Nope. Working on other open source projects at the moment. Now that nested menus are in this would be the next feature to add I think.

Definitely would take a pull request, but I'm probably not going to add this functionality for a while until I need it myself.

[madmas]

Here it is :-) Didn't look at submenues for the first version ;)

[Templarian]

Looks awesome. I'm going to leave this issue opened to track the progress for nested menu's, but simply having support for single level will solve most users issue (nesting wasn't supported when this issue was created).

If anyone sees this and wants to pull request that functionality I'll definitely merge it. :smile:

[madmas]

Cool thing, very happy to see it got merged so quickly :+1: Any plans on releasing a new version that contains this?

[Templarian]

Yea, should have time later today after my run (I have a few other minor features to edit in before I tag it for a release). Busy working on my other open source project for the next few hours.

[madmas]

Cool, looking forward to it ;-) Thanks a lot for your work!

This commit https://github.com/Templarian/ui.bootstrap.contextMenu/pull/52/commits/bc4d4d0ece0b9dce5b7213f744b63ed90aaa6d41 in PR https://github.com/Templarian/ui.bootstrap.contextMenu/pull/52 integrates the work done here with the Nested Menus.

I've only worked on the topCoordinate though. I'm still thinking of a good way to implement the leftCoordinate part. @madmas maybe you have some ideas?
