Component Overview
The Menu is a graphical user interface component that serves as a navigation header for applications or sites. It supports:

}
<ejs-menuid="menu"items="menuItems"></ejs-menu>

@{
var menuItems = new List<object> {
new {
text = "File",
items = new List<object> {

new { text = "Save" }
}
},
new {
text = "Edit",
items = new List<object> {
new { text = "Cut" },
new { text = "Copy" },
new { text = "Paste" }
}
}
};
}
<ejs-menuid="menu"items="menuItems"></ejs-menu>
