Angular ListMenu - Setup
Smart UI for Angular supports both standalone components (bootstrapApplication) and NgModule-based apps (bootstrapModule(AppModule)). Steps 1-5 show the standalone path; the section below shows the NgModule path with the same package and styles.
Demo source (Smart UI repo): angular/src/listmenu/basic
1 NPM Install
Install the smart-webcomponents-angular package:
npm install smart-webcomponents-angular
2 Register styles
Add the default Smart UI stylesheet to angular.json -> projects -> <your-project> -> architect -> build -> options -> styles (merge with existing entries):
"styles": [ "node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css" ]
Add optional theme CSS from the same package after smart.default.css if you use Bootstrap, Fluent, or other bundled themes.
3 Import the Angular module
Import ListMenuModule from smart-webcomponents-angular/listmenu: use @Component.imports for standalone, or add it to your AppModule (or feature module) imports array for NgModule apps.
import { ListMenuModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/listmenu';
4 Root component (standalone)
Add ListMenuModule to your root standalone component (src/app/app.ts). Snippet from Smart UI demos (paths normalized to app.html / App where applicable):
import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core';
import { ListMenuComponent } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/listmenu';
import { ListMenuModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/listmenu';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
standalone: true,
imports: [ ListMenuModule ],
templateUrl: './app.html',
styleUrl: './app.css'
})
export class App implements AfterViewInit, OnInit {
@ViewChild('listmenu', { read: ListMenuComponent, static: false }) listmenu!: ListMenuComponent;
ngOnInit(): void {
// onInit code.
}
ngAfterViewInit(): void {
// afterViewInit code.
this.init();
}
init(): void {
// init code.
}
}
Boot the app with bootstrapApplication from src/main.ts and an ApplicationConfig in src/app/app.config.ts as generated by the CLI.
5 Template (standalone)
Use your markup in src/app/app.html (or inline template). Bind properties and events on smart-list-menu as needed:
<smart-list-menu #listmenu id="listMenu" class="animation">
<smart-menu-items-group>
File
<smart-menu-item [shortcut]="'Ctrl+N'">New</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-item [shortcut]="'Ctrl+0'">Open</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-items-group>
Open Containing Folder
<smart-menu-item>Explorer</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-item>cmd</smart-menu-item>
</smart-menu-items-group>
<smart-menu-item [shortcut]="'Ctrl+S'" [disabled]="true">Save</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-item [shortcut]="'Ctrl+Alt+S'" [separator]="true">Save As...</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-item [shortcut]="'Alt+F4'">Exit</smart-menu-item>
</smart-menu-items-group>
<smart-menu-items-group>
Edit
<smart-menu-item [shortcut]="'Ctrl+Z'">Undo</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-item [shortcut]="'Ctrl+Y'" [separator]="true">Redo</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-item [shortcut]="'Ctrl+X'">Cut</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-item [shortcut]="'Ctrl+C'">Copy</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-item [shortcut]="'Ctrl+V'" [disabled]="true">Paste</smart-menu-item>
</smart-menu-items-group>
<smart-menu-items-group>

<smart-menu-item>Encode in ANSI</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-item>Encode in UTF-8</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-item>Encode in UTF-8-BOM</smart-menu-item>
<smart-menu-item>Encode in UTCS-2 BE BOM</smart-menu-item>

6 NgModule bootstrap (also supported)
Same npm package and angular.json styles as steps 1-2. Put ListMenuModule on your NgModule.imports instead of @Component.imports, and bootstrap with bootstrapModule(AppModule).
The demo sources bundled for this widget use standalone only (there is no app.module.ts in that folder). NgModule is fully supported: put ListMenuModule from smart-webcomponents-angular/listmenu on NgModule.imports, make your root component non-standalone (remove standalone: true and move widget modules from @Component.imports to the module), and bootstrap with platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).
Minimal main.ts + app.module.ts pairing (adjust paths to match your CLI layout):
src/main.ts
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).catch((err) => console.error(err));
src/app/app.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { ListMenuModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/listmenu';
@NgModule({
declarations: [ AppComponent ],
imports: [ BrowserModule, ListMenuModule ],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }
Reuse the template and class logic from steps 4-5 in AppComponent, configured for declarations + NgModule.imports instead of a standalone @Component.
Run
ng serve or npm start - then open http://localhost:4200/.

Accessibility
The ListMenu component follows WAI-ARIA best practices:
- Keyboard navigation - Tab, Arrow keys, Enter, and Escape are supported
- ARIA roles - Appropriate roles and labels are applied automatically
- Focus management - Visible focus indicators for keyboard users
- Screen readers - State changes are announced to assistive technology
- High contrast - Supports Windows High Contrast Mode and forced colors
For custom labeling, set aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes on the component.
Supported stacks: Smart UI targets Angular 17+, React 18+, Vue 3+, Node 18 LTS, and evergreen browsers; pin exact package versions to your org policy.
