Menu actions

Add an item to the three dot menu.

You can add custom menu actions to posts and comments using the Devvit.addMenuItem() function.

On new Reddit, comment menu actions in modqueue are only available in card view.

Supported Contexts

You can decide where the menu action shows up by specifying the context property. For example, setting the location to ‘comment’ will only show the menu action on comments.

Property	Values	Description
location (required)	comment, post, subreddit	Determines where the menu action appears in the custom post.
postFilter (optional)	currentApp	Shows the action created by your app. The default is no filtering.
forUserType (optional)	moderator	Specifies the user types that can see the menu action. The default is everyone.

Limitations

• If there are multiple apps, there is no way to sort order of actions in the menu.
• The context, name, and description fields do not support dynamic logic.

// Declare multiple actions to be added to the menu
Devvit.addMenuItem({
  label: 'Say Hello',
  location: 'post', // accepts 'post', 'comment', 'subreddit', or a combination as an array
  forUserType: 'moderator', // restricts this action to moderators, leave blank for any user
  onPress: (event, context) => {
    context.ui.showToast(`Hello from a ${event.location}!`);
  },
});
