Angular PrimeNG ContextMenu Events
Angular PrimeNG is an open-source framework with a rich set of native Angular UI components that are used for great styling and this framework is used to make responsive websites with very much ease. It provides a lot of templates, components, theme design, an extensive icon library, and much more. In this article, we are going to learn the Angular PrimeNG ContextMenu Events.
The ContextMenu component displays a menu when right-clicking over any component. Many components provide a special integration with the ContextMenu component. The ContextMenu events are used to track the interactions with the component.
Angular PrimeNG ContextMenu Events:
- onShow: This event is called when the context menu appears.
- onHide: This event is called when the context menu is closed.
Syntax:
<p-contextMenu #menu [target]="..." [model]="..." (onShow)="handleShow($event)"> </p-contextMenu>

Example 1: Below is the example code that illustrates the use of Angular PrimeNG ContextMenu Events. In the following example, we have shown a toast when we open the context menu.
app.component.html:
<h1 style="color: green; text-align: center;">
