Introduction
The overflow menu component condenses actions inside .pf-v6-c-overflow-menu__content container into a single menu button wrapped in .pf-v6-c-overflow-menu__control.
The overflow menu relies on groups (.pf-v6-c-overflow-menu__group) and items (.pf-v6-c-overflow-menu__item), with default spacer values. Groups and items can be siblings and/or items can be nested within groups. Modifier selectors adjust spacing based on the type of group. Each modifier applies a unique CSS variable, therefore, the base spacer value for all elements can be customized and item/groups spacers can be themed individually. The default spacer value for items and groups is set to --pf-v6-c-toolbar--spacer--base, whose value is --pf-v6-global--spacer--md or 16px.
Default spacing for items and groups:
Class | CSS Variable | Computed Value |
|---|---|---|
.pf-v6-c-overflow-menu__group | --pf-v6-c-overflow-menu__group--spacer | 16px |
.pf-v6-c-overflow-menu__item | --pf-v6-c-overflow-menu__item--spacer | 16px |
