This is useful when localizing the `Look Up “{selection}”` menu item, but can also be used in custom menu items, for example, to implement a `Search Google for “{selection}”` menu item. If there is no selection, the `{selection}` placeholder will be replaced by an empty string.

This can be checked using `visible: parameters.selectionText.trim().length > 0` when implementing a custom menu item.

	/**
	This option lets you manually pick what menu items to include. It's meant for advanced needs. The default menu with the other options should be enough for most use-cases, and it ensures correct behavior, for example, correct order of menu items. So prefer the `append` and `prepend` option instead of `menu` whenever possible.

	The function passed to this option is expected to return an array of [`MenuItem` constructor options](https://electronjs.org/docs/api/menu-item/).

	The first argument the function receives is an array of default actions that can be used. These actions are functions that can take an object with a transform property (except for `separator` and `inspect`). The transform function will be passed the content of the action and can modify it if needed. If you use `transform` on `cut`, `copy`, or `paste`, they will convert rich text to plain text.
	The second argument is [this `parameters` object](https://electronjs.org/docs/api/web-contents/#event-context-menu).
	The third argument is the [BrowserWindow](https://electronjs.org/docs/api/browser-window/) the context menu was requested for.
	The fourth argument is an Array of menu items for dictionary suggestions. This should be used if you wish to implement spellcheck in your custom menu.
	The last argument is the event object passed to the `context-menu` event in web contents.

	Even though you include an action, it will still only be shown/enabled when appropriate. For example, the `saveImage` action is only shown when right-clicking an image.

	`MenuItem` labels may contain the placeholder `{selection}` which will be replaced by the currently selected text as described in `options.labels`.

	The following options are ignored when `menu` is used:

	- `showLearnSpelling`
	- `showLookUpSelection`
	- `showSearchWithGoogle`
	- `showSelectAll`
	- `showCopyImage`
	- `showCopyImageAddress`
	- `showSaveImageAs`
	- `showCopyVideoAddress`
	- `showSaveVideo`
	- `showSaveVideoAs`
	- `showCopyLink`
	- `showSaveLinkAs`
	- `showInspectElement`
	- `showServices`

	To get spellchecking, “Correct Automatically”, and “Learn Spelling” in the menu, please enable the `spellcheck` preference in browser window: `new BrowserWindow({webPreferences: {spellcheck: true}})`

This module gives you a nice extensible context menu with items like `Cut`/`Copy`/`Paste` for text, `Save Image` for images, and `Copy Link` for links. It also adds an `Inspect Element` menu item when in development to quickly view items in the inspector like in Chrome.

You can use this module directly in both the main and renderer process.

@example
```
import {app, BrowserWindow} from 'electron';
import contextMenu from 'electron-context-menu';

contextMenu({
	showSaveImageAs: true
});

let mainWindow;
(async () => {
	await app.whenReady();

	mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
		webPreferences: {
			spellcheck: true
		}
	});
})();
```

@example
```
import {app, BrowserWindow} from 'electron';
import contextMenu from 'electron-context-menu';

contextMenu({
	prepend: (defaultActions, parameters, browserWindow) => [
		{
			label: 'Rainbow',
			// Only show it when right-clicking images
			visible: parameters.mediaType === 'image'
		},
		{
			label: 'Search Google for “{selection}”',
			// Only show it when right-clicking text
			visible: parameters.selectionText.trim().length > 0,
			click: () => {
				shell.openExternal(`https://google.com/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(parameters.selectionText)}`);
			}
		}
	]
});

let mainWindow;
(async () => {
	await app.whenReady();

	mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
		webPreferences: {
			spellcheck: true
		}
	});
})();
```

The return value of `contextMenu()` is a function that disposes of the created event listeners:

@example
```
const dispose = contextMenu();

dispose();
```
