# TMENUITEM {#tmenuitem}

> [!WARNING]
> This TypoScript object is still available to provide backward compatibility
> for old sites. When creating a new menu or refactoring an existing one
> always use the [menu data processor](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:menuprocessor@main)
> and a Fluid template.

For examples on how to use the TMENUITEM please refer to old version of this
document, for example [TMENUITEM](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-typoscript/11.5/en-us/ContentObjects/Hmenu/Tmenu/Tmenuitem.html#tmenuitem)-.

The current record is the page record of the menu item. If you would
like to get data from the current menu item's page record, use
`stdWrap.data = field : [field name]`.
