          <button mat-menu-item (click)="select.emit('bar')">Bar</button>
          <button mat-menu-item [matMenuTriggerFor]="subMenu">Others</button>
      </mat-menu>

      <mat-menu #subMenu="matMenu">
          <button mat-menu-item (click)="select.emit({prop: 1})">First</button>
          <button mat-menu-item (click)="select.emit({prop: 2})">Second</button>

      </mat-menu>
  `,
})
export class ContextualMenuComponent implements KaiuMenuContainer {

  // To be a KaiuMenuContainer a component must...

  // ...give access to an inner MatMenu directive

    // Prevent the browser native contextual menu.
    event.preventDefault();

    // Open a new ContextualMenuComponent at the cursor position.
    const menuRef = this.menuService.openMenu(
        ContextualMenuComponent,
        { x: event.clientX, y: event.clientY },
        this.viewContainerRef
    );

    // Listen for selected item in the menu.
    menuRef.afterClosed().subscribe((value) => {
