<vcf-toolbar-layout>

<vcf-toolbar-layout> is a LitElement‑based web component that manages overflowing menu items. It automatically moves overflowing items into a dedicated overflow popover, and it supports keyboard navigation, customizable theming, and grouping of items. While it works best with Vaadin web components, it supports any elements you choose to use.

Features

  • Overflow Handling:
    Automatically moves overflowing menu items into a dedicated popover.
  • Configurable Collapse Debounce:
    The updateDebounceDelay property sets the debounce delay (in milliseconds) from when a resize event occurs until the overflow items are updated.
  • Reverse Collapse:
    When the reverse-collapse attribute is set, the component collapses items from the left side instead of the right.
  • Theming:
    Two additional themes are provided (applied via the theme attribute):
    • fixed-width-prefix – aligns overflow popover items uniformly regardless of whether they include a prefix icon.
    • hide-icons – automatically hides icons on items within the overflow popover.
  • Keyboard Navigation:
    Complete keyboard support for menu navigation.
  • Grouping Items:
    Group items by passing in a layout/container element; grouped items collapse and display together in the overflow popover.
