GlassContextMenu class

A liquid glass context menu following Apple iOS 26/27 and SwiftUI .contextMenu() design.

When long-pressed or secondary-tapped (right-clicked on desktop/web), the wrapped child lifts above a defocused liquid glass backdrop with realistic elevation shadow, while an adjacent liquid glass action platter springs open with snappy spring physics.

Features

  • Touch-and-Hold Surface Lift: When pressed and held, the row lifts off the page (about 1.036×) with a broad soft drop shadow, keeping its own corner shape.
  • Row-to-Preview Morph: On commit the lifted row cross-dissolves and morphs into the centred preview card in ~190ms while the page dims, and morphs back into the row on dismiss.
  • Haptic Surface Lift: Fires HapticFeedback.mediumImpact() as the menu commits.
  • Native Backdrop: A plain dimming scrim (no blur by default), matching iOS.
  • Elevated Specular Platter: The action list renders in a rounded superellipse liquid glass container with specular highlights.
  • Smart Positioning: Automatically opens below or above the target based on available screen space and clamps safely within screen edges.
  • Continuous Glide-to-Select: Dragging from the long-press directly across menu items highlights the hovered action with haptic ticks; releasing selects the action.
  • Custom Preview Support: Supply previewBuilder to render custom content when lifted.
  • Secondary Tap Parity: Right-click on desktop/macOS opens the menu immediately.

Usage

GlassContextMenu(
  actions: [
    GlassContextMenuAction(
      icon: const Icon(CupertinoIcons.share),
      child: const Text('Share Contact'),
      onPressed: () => shareContact(),
    ),
    GlassContextMenuAction(
      icon: const Icon(CupertinoIcons.delete),
      isDestructive: true,
      child: const Text('Delete'),
      onPressed: () => deleteContact(),
    ),
  ],
  child: ContactCard(contact: contact),
)

Properties

actions → List<Widget>
The list of actions displayed in the liquid glass action platter.
final
backdropBlur → double
Amount of gaussian blur applied to the backdrop when opened.
final
backgroundColor → Color?
Optional background color of the row when lifted during touch-and-hold. Defaults to secondary system grouped background color (solid white in light mode).
final
barrierColor → Color?
Dimming barrier color applied behind the lifted target and platter.
final
borderRadius → double
Border radius of the action menu platter (defaults to 32.0, matching the continuous corners of iOS 26 context menus).
final
child → Widget
The widget that triggers the context menu.
final
enabled → bool
Whether context menu interaction is enabled.
final
enableHaptics → bool
Whether to trigger haptic feedback on touch-down, lift, and action selection.
final
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
key → Key?
Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.
finalinherited
longPressDuration → Duration
The duration of the touch-and-hold gesture required to trigger the context menu.
final
Width of the action menu platter (defaults to 250.0).
final
onDismissed → VoidCallback?
Optional callback invoked when the context menu is dismissed.
