Description

Enable to use react component as a custom contextMenu or dropdownMenu.
It definitely needs a lot of considerations about how to approach it.

The idea comes from @mx2323 in #6811

@pnowak Just to keep a note that Handsontable will need to convert the contextMenu or dropdownMenu with ReactDOM because there is no way of supporting this when the underlayer only supports pure HTML elements, i think Handsontable will have quite a challenging supporting frameworks that have virtual-dom so agnostic
Is there also any consideration for editors/cell renderers? Right now we can only extend with a function that mutates the TD/TH but it would be nice if we can actually provide a component with its lifecycle

Hi @underfisk,
We merged wrapper for React into our main repository, handsontable/handsontable. Now library and wrapper are available in monorepo.
We also transfer all issues into one common issue board, where you can follow work progress and request issues.

I'm moving this topic to Github Discussions. And I welcome everyone to discuss this functionality and share your feedback.
See you there!

Hi, there, is there any updates for supporting ReactDOM in contextMenu by using @handsontable/react?

Hi @wjh000123

Not yet. However, we are continuously improving our React wrapper, so when this is possible, we will update this topic.
