Dropdown

The Dropdown component displays specific content in a pop-up control. It is often used in conjunction with the Menu component.

Usage

Import the component:

import 'mdui/components/dropdown.js';

Import the TypeScript type:

import type { Dropdown } from 'mdui/components/dropdown.js';

Example:

open dropdown Item 1 Item 2
<mdui-dropdown>
  <mdui-button slot="trigger">open dropdown</mdui-button>
  <mdui-menu>
    <mdui-menu-item>Item 1</mdui-menu-item>
    <mdui-menu-item>Item 2</mdui-menu-item>
  </mdui-menu>
</mdui-dropdown>

Examples

Disabled State

Add the disabled attribute to disable the dropdown.

Open Position

Set the placement attribute to control the dropdown's open position.

Trigger Method

Set the dropdown's trigger method with the trigger attribute.

Open on Pointer

Add the open-on-pointer attribute to open the dropdown at the pointer location. This is often combined with trigger="contextmenu" for right-click menu activation.

Keep Menu Open

By default, clicking a menu item in the dropdown component closes it. Add stay-open-on-click to keep it open.

Open/Close Delay

With trigger="hover", use open-delay and close-delay to set the open and close delays.
