# Context Menus

## contextmenus.lua

These functions provide a unified way to interact with different context menu systems, such as OX and WarMenu, depending on what's available on the server.

###

### **openMenu(Menu, data)**

Opens a context menu using the preferred menu system.

Automatically selects between supported systems like OX or WarMenu based on availability.

The `Menu` parameter should be a list of menu entries, and the `data` parameter can be used to set headers, subtexts, and actions like `onBack`, `onExit`, and `canClose`.

**Example:**

```lua
openMenu({
    { header = "Option 1", txt = "Description 1", onSelect = function() print("Option 1 selected") end },
    { header = "Option 2", txt = "Description 2", onSelect = function() print("Option 2 selected") end },
}, {
    header = "Main Menu",
    headertxt = "Select an option",
    onBack = function() print("Return selected") end,
    onExit = function() print("Menu closed") end,
    canClose = true,
})
```

***

### **isOx()**

Checks whether the OX context menu system is available on the server.

Allows to do specific things if ox\_lib menu is in use

**Example:**

```lua
if isOx() then
    print("OX Context Menu is available")
end
```

***

### **isWarMenuOpen()**

Returns whether WarMenu is currently open.

Useful to prevent opening a new menu if one is already active.

**Example:**

```lua
if not isWarMenuOpen() then
    openMenu("main_menu", menuData)
end
```

***

Returns whether the WarMenu is currently open.
