# Menu

## Overview

The `Menu` object is a reusable design-time entity that represents a list of menu items. It can be utilized across various components and services, promoting consistency in menu design.

## Functionality

The `Menu` object includes several key properties. The `comment` property allows adding programmer notes or other descriptive information about the menu's purpose. The `encapsulation` property defines the menu's visibility, with options such as "Public" (accessible across modules) or "Module Scope" (restricted to the same module). The `name` property serves as the unique identifier for the menu. Additionally, the `styleClass` property allows associating CSS classes for styling purposes.
