ASP .NET Core Menu Tag Helper Getting Started

Getting Started

jqxMenu represents a Menu UI component that contains a list of selectable items displayed horizontally or vertically in drop-downs. jqxMenu can also be used as a context menu component.

Every ASP .NET Core Mvc Tag Helper from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.

jqxMenu requires the following files:

CSS
jqx.base.css
Javascript
jqxcore.js
jqxmenu.js

The next step is to create html element within the body of the html document and add the initialization attributes.

To bind to an event of a UI Component, you can use on-event-type syntax. The example code below demonstrates how to bind to an event.

<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxmenu.js"></script>
@using jQWidgets.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers
