Create a menu with a save options

[TrietMinh799]

I have a menu with a submenu like this

Is it possible to get data from input to save it to a file when I trigger an event save in the menu item?

yeah you can. when receiving the menu event in rust, you emit an event to the front-end and get the input data using JS then save it.

Hi, could you put an example?
putting together menu examples and events example I am having issue with the app structure. Obviously have no clue about rust.

tauri::Builder::default()
        .invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![greet])
        .menu(menu)
        .on_menu_event(|event| {
            match event.menu_item_id() {
            "new" => {
                app.emit_all("new_clicked", Payload { message: "Some payload".into() }).unwrap();
            }
            "exit" => {
                std::process::exit(0);
            }
            _ => {}
            }
        })

getting error:
app not found in this scope

use tauri::Manager; // important

tauri::Builder::default()
        .invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![greet])
        .menu(menu)
        .on_menu_event(|event| {
            match event.menu_item_id() {
            "new" => {
            	let window = event.window(); // get the window 
                window.emit_all("new_clicked", Payload { message: "Some payload".into() }).unwrap(); // emit to all
            }
            "exit" => {
                std::process::exit(0);
            }
            _ => {}
            }
        })
