Default Item Template
This section lists the data source fields that are used in a default item template.
By default, a predefined item template is applied to display the items of this widget. This template is based on certain fields of the data source provided for this widget. Below is the list of these fields. If the default item template is not appropriate for your task, implement a custom item template based on these or other fields of your data source.

The name of an icon to be displayed on the menu item.
This option can take on the name of an icon from the built-in icon library.
items
Holds an array of menu items.
When specifying the items field for an item, this item becomes a root item. The child items are displayed using the same default item template as the root items. So specify the fields that take part in the default item template when defining items array objects. Alternatively, you can implement a custom item template.
