      return [

];

const defaultColors = ["#33B0B4", "#0096FA", "#F1B941"];

export const getDefaultCardMenuItems = ({ store }: { store: DataStore }) => {
    const { readonly } = store.getState();
    const baseItems = [

        { id: "delete-card", icon: "wxi-delete-outline", text: "Delete" }

            ...baseItems,
        ];
