Dropdown

Dropdowns are toggleable, contextual overlays for displaying lists of links and more. They’re made interactive with the included Bootstrap dropdown javascript plugin. Read the Official Bootstrap Documentation for a full list of instructions and other options.

Basic Example

Wrap the dropdown’s toggle (your button or link) and the dropdown menu within .dropdown, or another element that declares position relative. Dropdowns can be triggered from link or button elements to better fit your potential needs.

<div class="dropdown">
  <button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
    Dropdown Menu
  </button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
  </div>
</div>

Dropup

Trigger dropdown menus above elements by adding dropup class to the parent element.

<div class="dropdown dropup">
  <button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropupMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
    Dropup Menu
  </button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropupMenuButton">
    ...
  </div>
</div>

Dropright

Trigger dropdown menus above elements by adding dropright class to the parent element.

<div class="dropdown dropright">
  <button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="droprightMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
    Dropright Menu
  </button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="droprightMenuButton">
  ...
  </div>
</div>

Dropleft

Trigger dropdown menus above elements by adding dropleft class to the parent element.

<div class="dropdown dropright">
  <button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropleftMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
    Dropleft Menu
  </button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropleftMenuButton">
  ...
  </div>
</div>

Active Menu Item

Add active class to items in the dropdown to style them as active.

<div class="dropdown-menu">
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
  <a class="dropdown-item active" href="#">Another action</a>
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>

Disabled Menu Item

Add disabled class to items in the dropdown to style them as disabled.

<div class="dropdown-menu">
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
  <a class="dropdown-item disabled" href="#">Another action</a>
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>

Dropdown Header

Add a header to label sections of actions in any dropdown menu.

<div class="dropdown-menu">
  <h6 class="dropdown-header tx-uppercase tx-12 tx-bold tx-inverse">Dropdown header</h6>
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>

Dropdown Divider

Separate groups of related menu items with a divider.

<div class="dropdown-menu">
  <h6 class="dropdown-header tx-uppercase tx-12 tx-bold tx-inverse">Dropdown header</h6>
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
  <div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
  <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
</div>

Text in Dropdown

Place any freeform text within a dropdown menu with text and use spacing utilities. Note that you’ll likely need additional sizing styles to constrain the menu width.

<div class="dropdown-menu">
  <div class="wd-200 pd-15">
    <p>Some example text that's free-flowing within the dropdown menu.</p>
    <p class="mb-0">And this is more example text.</p>
  </div>
</div>

Form in Dropdown

Put a form within a dropdown menu, or make it into a dropdown menu, and use margin or padding utilities to give it the negative space you require.

<div class="dropdown-menu">
  <form class="wd-250 pd-15" action="">
    ...
  </form>
</div>
