Use

Import and Add to NgModule

import { ContextMenuModule } from '@ctrl/ngx-rightclick';

Add context menu directive to element and pass the menu component to be shown. Important the menu component must also be added as to entryComponents in your NgModule. See here

// show.component.ts
@Component({
  template: `
    <div [contextMenuTrigger]="menu" (menuAction)="handleMenuAction($event)">Right Click</div>
  `,
})
export class ShowComponent {
  // menu component imported and assigned locally
  menu = SimpleMenuComponent;
}

// my-menu.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

import { MenuComponent, ContextMenuService, MenuPackage } from '@ctrl/ngx-rightclick';

@Component({
  selector: 'simple-menu',
  // add your menu html
  template: `<a (click)="handleClick()">Download</a>`,
})
export class SimpleMenuComponent extends MenuComponent {
  // this module does not have animations, set lazy false
  lazy = false;

  constructor(public menuPackage: MenuPackage, public contextMenuService: ContextMenuService) {
    super(menuPackage, contextMenuService);
    // grab any required menu context passed via menuContext input
    console.log(menuPackage.context);
  }

  handleClick() {
    // IMPORTANT! tell the menu to close, anything passed in here is given to (menuAction)
    this.contextMenuService.closeAll();
  }
}

Last step add css somewhere in your global styles

.cdk-overlay-container {
  position: fixed;
  z-index: 1000;
  pointer-events: none;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}
.ngx-contextmenu.cdk-overlay-pane {
  position: absolute;
  pointer-events: auto;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

// not required but can help with mobile right click
.target {
  user-select: none;
}
