# Bubble Menu
[![Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@tiptap/extension-bubble-menu.svg?label=version)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tiptap/extension-bubble-menu)
[![Downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/@tiptap/extension-bubble-menu.svg)](https://npmcharts.com/compare/@tiptap/extension-bubble-menu?minimal=true)

This extension will make a contextual menu appear near a selection of text. Use it to let users apply [marks](/api/marks) to their text selection.

As always, the markup and styling is totally up to you. The menu is positioned absolute and requires a wrapper with `position: relative`, that’s basically the only requirement though.

```bash
# with npm
npm install @tiptap/extension-bubble-menu
