MenuManager Extended

Provides a registry for menu items that you’d like to appear in the application menu.

An instance of this class is always available as the atom.menu global.

Here is an example from the tree-view:

[
  {
    'label': 'View'
    'submenu': [
      { 'label': 'Toggle Tree View', 'command': 'tree-view:toggle' }
    ]
  }
  {
    'label': 'Packages'
    'submenu': [
      'label': 'Tree View'
      'submenu': [
        { 'label': 'Focus', 'command': 'tree-view:toggle-focus' }
        { 'label': 'Toggle', 'command': 'tree-view:toggle' }
        { 'label': 'Reveal Active File', 'command': 'tree-view:reveal-active-file' }
        { 'label': 'Toggle Tree Side', 'command': 'tree-view:toggle-side' }
      ]
    ]
  }
]

Use in your package’s menu .cson file requires that you place your menu structure under a menu key.

'menu': [
  {
    'label': 'View'
    'submenu': [
      { 'label': 'Toggle Tree View', 'command': 'tree-view:toggle' }
    ]
  }
]
