<h3>right-clickable context menus</h3>
<ul>
<li><label for="immediate">immediate:</label><input id="immediate"/></li>
<li><label for="async">async:</label><input id="async"/></li>
</ul>

## Example code

<script type="text/javascript" class="showcase">
$(function() {
// normally, contextMenu sets up a handler for right click
$.contextMenu({
selector: '#immediate',
callback: menuCallback,
items: buildMenuItems()
});

// for async menus, we set up a handler and a menu for it to call
$('#async').on('contextmenu', rightClickHandler)
$.contextMenu({
selector: '#async',
trigger: 'none',
build: function($trigger, e) {
// return callback set by the mouseup handler
return $trigger.data('runCallbackThingie')();
}
});

function buildMenuItems () {
return {
"GTA": {name: "Lysine", icon: "edit"},
"TGG": {name: "Tryptophan", icon: "cut"},
"TTC": {name: "Phenylalanine", icon: "copy"}
}
}

// asynchronous menu item construction takes one second
function buildMenuItemsPromise () {
return new Promise((accept, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => accept(buildMenuItems()), 1000)
})
}

// right-click handler enables mouseup handler
function rightClickHandler (e) {
e.preventDefault();
const $this = $(this)
$this.on('mouseup', mouseUpHandler);
$this.off('contextmenu', rightClickHandler)
}

// on mouseup, wait for the menu items and paint a context menu
function mouseUpHandler (e) {
e.preventDefault();
const $this = $(this);
$this.off('mouseup', mouseUpHandler);

// when the items are ready,
buildMenuItemsPromise().then(items => {

// store a callback on the trigger
$this.data('runCallbackThingie', function () {
return {
callback: menuCallback,
items: items
};
});
const _offset = $this.offset(),
position = {
x: _offset.left + 10,
y: _offset.top + 10
}
$this.contextMenu(position);

$this.on('contextmenu', rightClickHandler)
});
return false
}

// callback insert letters over the selection
function menuCallback (key, options) {
const contents = $(this).val(),
start = this.get(0).selectionStart,
end = this.get(0).selectionEnd
$(this).val(contents.substr(0, start)
+ key
+ contents.substr(end)
)
}
});
</script>
