DevExtreme jQuery/JS - Access the Clicked Item

To access the clicked item, handle the itemClick event. If the event handling function is not going to be changed during the lifetime of the widget, assign it to the onItemClick option when you configure the widget.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function () {
    $("#contextMenuContainer").dxContextMenu({
        // ...
        onItemClick: function (e) {
            var itemData = e.itemData;
            var itemElement = e.itemElement;
            var itemIndex = e.itemIndex;
            // ...
        }
    });
});
Angular
HTML
TypeScript
<dx-context-menu ...
    (onItemClick)="handleItemClickEvent($event)">
</dx-context-menu>
import { DxContextMenuModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    // ...
    handleItemClickEvent (e) {
        let itemData = e.itemData;
        let itemElement = e.itemElement;
        let itemIndex = e.itemIndex;
        // ...
    }
}
@NgModule({
     imports: [
         // ...
         DxContextMenuModule
     ],
     // ...
 })

If you are going to change event handlers at runtime, or if you need to attach several handlers to the itemClick event, subscribe to this event using the on(eventName, eventHandler) method. This approach is more typical of jQuery.

JavaScript
var itemClickHandler1 = function (e) {
    // First handler of the "itemClick" event
};

var itemClickHandler1 = function (e) {
    // Second handler of the "itemClick" event
};

$("#contextMenuContainer").dxContextMenu("instance")
    .on("itemClick", itemClickHandler1)
    .on("itemClick", itemClickHandler2);
