core.contextmenu.itemset​

A list of items with the same predicate.

items​

(field) items: core.contextmenu.item[]

predicate​

(field) predicate: string|core.object|fun(...any):boolean, ...unknown

A predicate is a string, an Object or a function, that is used to determine whether a command should be executed.

If the predicate is a string, it is resolved into an Object via require() and checked against the active view with Object:extends(). For example, "core.docview" will match any view that inherits from DocView. A ! can be appended to the predicate to strictly match the current view via Object:is(), instead of matching any view that inherits the predicate.

If the predicate is a table, it is checked against the active view with Object:extends(). Strict matching via Object:is() is not available.

If the predicate is a function, it must behave like a predicate function.
