## Usage

Use anything you like in the default slot of the ContextMenu, and right-click on it to display the menu.

### Items

Use the `items` prop as an array of objects with the following properties:

- `label?: string`{lang="ts-type"}
- `icon?: string`{lang="ts-type"}
- `avatar?: AvatarProps`{lang="ts-type"}
- `kbds?: string[] | KbdProps[]`{lang="ts-type"}
- `type?: "link" | "label" | "separator"`{lang="ts-type"}
- `disabled?: boolean`{lang="ts-type"}
- `class?: any`{lang="ts-type"}
- [`slot?: string`{lang="ts-type"}](#with-custom-slot)
- `select?(e: Event): void`{lang="ts-type"}

You can also pass any property from the [Link](/components/link#props) component such as `to`, `target`, etc.
