How to bind id to PrimeNg menu command

Question

I have a table with a list of items. I wanted to use PrimeNg Menu for dropdown menu options to navigate to other pages with the selected item id. What I wanted to do is, when I click on the menu items I wanted to bind id of the selected item.

my HTML looks like this

<tr *ngFor="let item of items" class="animated fadeIn">
    <td>{{item.category}}</td>
    <td>{{item.name}}</td>
    <td>{{item.date}}</td>
    <td>
       <div>
           <p-menu #tableMenu [popup]="true" [model]="tableMenuItems" appendTo="body"></p-menu>
               <button type="button" pButton icon="pi pi-ellipsis-v"
                   class="ui-button-secondary ui-button-rounded ui-button-transparent"
                   (click)="tableMenu.toggle($event)">
               </button>
       </div>
    </td>
</tr>

and my .ts

this.tableMenuItems = [
  {
    label: 'View Item', command: (event) => {
      // this.viewItemDetail() // here I wanted to bind item.id of the selected item and navigate to item detail page
    }
  },
  {
    label: 'Edit Item', command: (event) => {
      this.editItem() // here I wanted to bind item.id of the selected item and navigate to item edit page
    }
  },
];

Answer 1

you can create a property to hold the current item and set the selected item at click event before invoke toggle method

component

 selectedItem:any = null;
 ...
 ngOnInit(){

 this.tableMenuItems = [
  {
    label: 'View Item', command: (event) => {
       console.log(this.selectedItem);
      // this.viewItemDetail() // here I wanted to bind item.id of the selected item and navigate to item detail page
    }
  },
  {
    label: 'Edit Item', command: (event) => {
      this.editItem() // here I wanted to bind item.id of the selected item and navigate to item edit page
    }
  },
];
}

template

<tr *ngFor="let item of items" class="animated fadeIn">
    <td>{{item.category}}</td>
    <td>{{item.name}}</td>
    <td>{{item.date}}</td>
    <td>
       <div>
           <p-menu #tableMenu [popup]="true" [model]="tableMenuItems" appendTo="body"></p-menu>
               <button type="button" pButton icon="pi pi-ellipsis-v"
                   class="ui-button-secondary ui-button-rounded ui-button-transparent"
                   (click)="selectedItem = item;tableMenu.toggle($event)">
               </button>
       </div>
    </td>
</tr>
