Dropdown

The Dropdown component is a container for a DropdownTrigger and a DropdownOverlay.

• DropdownTrigger is the container for a button.
• DropdownOverlay is the togglable container for a menu, hidden by default, with a white background and a shadow.

Dropdown overlay

You are able to implement inside a DropdownOverlay a menu item list, a paragraph or whatever.

You can insert any type of content within the dropdown overlay.

<Dropdown visible>
  <DropdownTrigger>
    <Button>Dropdown button</Button>
  </DropdownTrigger>
  <DropdownOverlay>
    <Typography component="body-2" classes="p-m"
      >You can insert any type of content within the dropdown
      overlay.</Typography
    >
  </DropdownOverlay>
</Dropdown>

Visible

You can use visible attribute to display DropdownOverlay.

Menu Item

<Dropdown visible> ... </Dropdown>

Placement

You can set top-center, top-right, top-left, bottom-center, bottom-right and bottom-left to placement property to place the dropdown overlay. By default the placement is bottom-left.

The dropdown is bottom left aligned.

<Dropdown visible placement="bottom-left"> ... </Dropdown>

The dropdown is center left aligned.

<Dropdown visible placement="bottom-center"> ... </Dropdown>

The dropdown is bottom right aligned.

<Dropdown visible placement="bottom-right"> ... </Dropdown>

The dropdown is top left aligned.

<Dropdown visible placement="top-left"> ... </Dropdown>

The dropdown is top center aligned.

<Dropdown visible placement="top-center"> ... </Dropdown>

Event handling

The Dropdown component provides two event handlers:

• onVisibleChange: Triggered when the dropdown visibility changes (when the trigger is clicked)
• onClickOutside: Triggered when a user clicks outside the dropdown (useful for closing the dropdown)

const handleVisibleChange = (visible) => {
  console.log(`Dropdown visibility changed to: ${visible}`);
  // Your logic here
};

const handleClickOutside = () => {
  console.log('Clicked outside the dropdown');
  // Your logic here
};

<Dropdown 
  onVisibleChange={handleVisibleChange}
  onClickOutside={handleClickOutside}
>
  <DropdownTrigger>
    <Button>Dropdown button</Button>
  </DropdownTrigger>
  <DropdownOverlay>
    <MenuItemList>
      <MenuItem>
        <MenuItemLabel>Menu Item</MenuItemLabel>
      </MenuItem>
    </MenuItemList>
  </DropdownOverlay>
</Dropdown>
