Angular HtmlEditor - tableContextMenu.items

Configures context menu items.

Selector: dxi-item
Type:

Array<dxHtmlEditorTableContextMenuItem | HtmlEditorPredefinedContextMenuItem>

Use this property to customize the context menu. For example, the following code creates a flat menu of table commands instead of the default hierarchical menu. The beginGroup property is used to divide command groups.

jQuery
index.js
$(function() {
    $("#htmlEditorContainer").dxHtmlEditor({
        // ...
        tableContextMenu: {
            enabled: true,
            items: [
                'insertHeaderRow',
                'insertRowAbove',
                'insertRowBelow',
                { name: 'insertColumnLeft', beginGroup: true },
                'insertColumnRight',
                { name: 'deleteColumn', beginGroup: true },
                'deleteRow',
                'deleteTable',
                { name: 'cellProperties', beginGroup: true },
                'tableProperties'
            ]
        }
    });
