In this chapter, you will learn about several menu variations. PrimeNG's menus fulfill all major requirements. These days, every website contains menus. Usually, a menu is presented to a user as a list of links to be navigated or commands to be executed. Menus are sometimes organized hierarchically, allowing navigation through different levels of the menu structure.

Arranging menu items in logical groups makes it easy for users to quickly locate the related tasks. They come with various facets such as static, dynamic, tiered, hybrid, iPod-styled, and so on, and leave nothing to be desired. Readers will face a lot of recipes that discuss the menu's structure, configuration options, customizations, and integration with other components. Menu-like components helping in wizards and workflows will be explained as well.
