TieredMenu displays submenus in nested overlays.
import { TieredMenu } from 'primeng/tieredmenu';
TieredMenu requires a collection of menuitems as its model.
<p-tieredmenu [model]="items" />
Popup mode is enabled by adding popup property and calling toggle method with an event of the target.
<p-button label="Toggle" (click)="menu.toggle($event)" />
<p-tieredmenu #menu [model]="items" [popup]="true" />
TieredMenu offers item customization with the item template that receives the menuitem instance from the model as a parameter.
<p-tieredMenu [model]="items">
<ng-template #item let-item let-hasSubmenu="hasSubmenu">
<a pRipple class="flex items-center p-tieredmenu-item-link">
<span [class]="item.icon" class="p-tieredmenu-item-icon"></span>
<span class="ml-2">{{ item.label }}</span>
<p-badge *ngIf="item.badge" class="ml-auto" [value]="item.badge" />
<span *ngIf="item.shortcut" class="ml-auto border border-surface rounded bg-emphasis text-muted-color text-xs p-1">
{{ item.shortcut }}
</span>
<i *ngIf="hasSubmenu" class="pi pi-angle-right ml-auto"></i>
</a>
</ng-template>
</p-tieredMenu>
The command property defines the callback to run when an item is activated by click or a key event.
<p-toast/>
<p-tieredmenu [model]="items" />
Items with navigation are defined with templating to be able to use a router link component, an external link or programmatic navigation.
<p-tieredMenu [model]="items">
<ng-template #item let-item let-hasSubmenu="hasSubmenu">
<ng-container *ngIf="item.route; else withoutRoute">
<a [routerLink]="item.route" [href]="item.href" class="p-tieredmenu-item-link">

TieredMenu component uses the menubar role with aria-orientation set to "vertical" and the value to describe the menu can either be provided with aria-labelledby or aria-label props. Each list item has a presentation role whereas anchor elements have a menuitem role with aria-label referring to the label of the item and aria-disabled defined if the item is disabled. A submenu within a TieredMenu uses the menu role with an aria-labelledby defined as the id of the submenu root menuitem label. In addition, menuitems that open a submenu have aria-haspopup, aria-expanded and aria-controls to define the relation between the item and the submenu.
In popup mode, the component implicitly manages the aria-expanded, aria-haspopup and aria-controls attributes of the target element to define the relation between the target and the popup.
