v2.8.1
Useful for displaying menu items in a dropdown. This is very different from the Select component. The Select component can pass values as a form element. The Dropmenu does not pass values around and is mostly useful for accessing quick actions.

By default the Dropmenu is triggered using the horizontal ellipsis icon found on Heroicons.
You can trigger the menu using any other icon from Heroicons or using any other element. To use an icon as the trigger, the trick is to append the word -icon to the end of the name of the icon defined on Heroicons.

It is also possible to modify the trigger css. This css applies to any item you specify as the trigger but most useful if you specify an icon as the trigger.
This is achieved by defining TailwindCSS classes for the trigger_css attribute.
<div class="text-center">
<x-bladewind::dropmenu trigger="musical-note-icon"
trigger_css="bg-pink-600 text-white p-2 rounded-full !h-10 !w-10">
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
Add to playlist
</x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
Play again
</x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
</x-bladewind::dropmenu>
</div>
By default the Dropomenu is displayed when you click on the trigger. It is possible to change this behaviour by defining the
trigger_on attribute. There are only two available options: click and mouseover.
<div class="text-center">
<x-bladewind::dropmenu trigger="musical-note-icon"
trigger_css="bg-green-600 text-white p-2 rounded-full !h-10 !w-10"
trigger_on="mouseover">
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
Add to playlist
</x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
Play again
</x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
</x-bladewind::dropmenu>
</div>
To trigger the Dropmenu using any HTML element other than an icon, you will need to define the trigger as a slot.
<div class="grid grid-cols-2 gap-6">
<div class="text-center">
<x-bladewind::dropmenu>
<x-slot:trigger>
<x-bladewind.button type="secondary" size="tiny">

<div class="grow">

</div>
<div class="grow">
<div><strong>John C. Doe</strong></div>
<div class="text-sm">Tech, IT Support</div>
</div>
<div>
<x-bladewind.icon name="chevron-down"
class="!h-4 !w-4" />
</div>
</div>
</x-slot:trigger>
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>

</x-bladewind::dropmenu>
</div>
</div>
The Dropmenu items are the actual line items within your Dropmenu. Each item can contain any piece of HTML code
so you completely have control over what action is assigned to each menu item. BladewindUI does not interfere.
For convenience, you can specify an onclick attribute.
<x-bladewind::dropmenu trigger="light-bulb-icon"
trigger_css="bg-yellow-400 ...">
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
<a href="/library" target="_blank">Go to Library</a>
</x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item onclick="showModal('dropmenu-demo')">
Show a Modal
</x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
</x-bladewind::dropmenu>
It is possible to define a header for your Dropmenu component. There can be several headers in a Dropmenu. The header is still
a x-bladewind::dropmenu-item component so can contain any HTML. The only difference between this and other items is there is no hover effect,
the cursor displayed is the default pointer and there is a divider separating the header from the next menu item.
To define a Dropmenu item as a header, set header="true.
...
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item header="true">
// define heading here
</x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
...
Even though it is possible to define your own icon as part of the Dropmenu item's content, there is a shortcut that allows you to define any of the icons available on Heroicons.
This makes use of the BladewindUI Icon component. This is useful only if you have menu items that fit on one line and you want to prefix each line with an icon.
To define a Dropmenu item with an icon , set the icon attribute with any icon name from Heroicons. Unlike the icon used in the trigger attribute of the Dropmenu component, items do not require the -icon at the end of the icon name.
...
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item icon="square-pencil">
Edit Profile
</x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
...
By default, icons are positioned on the left of the menu item content. To switch the icon position to the right of the menu item content, set icon_right="true".
Setting the attribute on the x-bladewind::dropmenu component will shift all menu items in the menu to the right.
Alternatively, you can set the attribute on one or more menu items within the Dropmenu component.
...
<x-bladewind::dropmenu icon_right="true">
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
...
</x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
</x-bladewind::dropmenu>
...
You may want to logically divider your Dropmenu into sections. You can either do that with headers or dividers.
A divider is simply a non-clickable line separating menu items. To define a Dropmenu item as a divider , set divider="true".
Any text added to the menu item will be ignored.
...
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item divider="true" />
...
By default Dropmenu Items are not divided. You can tell each menu item apart on mouseover. If you prefer to have your menu items separated by a thin gray line you can set
divided="true" on the Dropmenu component itself (not on the menu items).
...
<x-bladewind::dropmenu divided="true">
...
</x-bladewind::dropmenu>
...
The example below addresses headers, icons and dividers.
<x-bladewind::dropmenu>
<x-slot:trigger>
<div class="flex space-x-2 items-center rounded-md">
<div class="grow">
<x-bladewind.avatar image="/assets/...jpg" />
</div>
<div>
<x-bladewind.icon name="chevron-down" class="!h-4 !w-4" />
</div>
</div>
</x-slot:trigger>
<x-bladewind::dropmenu-item header="true">
<div class="grow">

<div class="text-sm">@jane-the-coder</div>
<div class="text-sm">jane@bladewindui.com</div>

</x-bladewind.button>
</x-bladewind::dropmenu-item>
</x-bladewind::dropmenu>
The Dropmenu component for now supports two menu positions. Left and right. This is achieved by setting the
position attribute on the Dropmenu component. The default position is right so
you can ignore this attribute if you intend to use the component as is.
<x-bladewind::dropmenu
position="left">
...
</x-bladewind::dropmenu>
<x-bladewind::dropmenu
position="right">
...
</x-bladewind::dropmenu>
You could have a long list of menu items in your Dropmenu. If you don't want all items showing,
you can set scrollable="true" on the Dropmenu component.
This will reduce the menu items container to a default height of 200px and scroll
every menu item outside this view area. If the default height does not meet your needs, you can define your own
height by setting the height attribute. This takes any positive integer without the "px".
<x-bladewind::dropmenu scrollable="true">
...
</x-bladewind::dropmenu>
