React Menu - Overview

The Menu UI component is a panel with clickable items. A click on an item opens a drop-down menu, which can contain several submenus.

The following code adds the Menu UI component to your page. Note that the data source of the UI component declares several nesting levels. First-level items produce items for the UI component panel, or "root items". Other items go to drop-down menus.
