Dropdown

  • label - The label of the item.
  • labelClass - The class of the item label.
  • icon - The icon of the item.
  • iconClass - The class of the item icon.
  • avatar - The avatar of the item. You can pass all the props of the Avatar component.
  • shortcuts - The shortcuts of the item.
  • slot - The slot of the item.
  • disabled - Whether the item is disabled.
  • class - The class of the item.
  • click - The click handler of the item.

You can also pass any property from the NuxtLink component such as to, exact, etc.

      src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/739984?v=4'
    }
  }], [{

    icon: 'i-heroicons-pencil-square-20-solid',
    shortcuts: ['E'],
    click: () => {
      console.log('Edit')
    }
  }, {
    label: 'Duplicate',
    icon: 'i-heroicons-document-duplicate-20-solid',
    shortcuts: ['D'],
    disabled: true
  }], [{
    label: 'Archive',
    icon: 'i-heroicons-archive-box-20-solid'
  }, {

  }], [{
    label: 'Delete',
    icon: 'i-heroicons-trash-20-solid',
    shortcuts: ['', 'D']
  }]

</script>

    <UButton color="white" label="Options" trailing-icon="i-heroicons-chevron-down-20-solid" />
  </UDropdown>
</template>

Mode

Use the mode prop to switch between click and hover modes.

<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [
  [{
    label: 'Profile',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/739984?v=4'
    }
  }]
]

    <UButton color="white" label="Options" trailing-icon="i-heroicons-chevron-down-20-solid" />
  </UDropdown>
</template>

Manual

Use a v-model:open to manually control the state. In this example, press O to toggle the dropdown.

<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [
  [{
    label: 'Profile',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/739984?v=4'
    }
  }]
]

const open = ref(true)

defineShortcuts({
  o: () => open.value = !open.value
})
</script>

<template>
  <UDropdown v-model:open="open" :items="items" :popper="{ placement: 'bottom-start' }">
    <UButton color="white" label="Options" trailing-icon="i-heroicons-chevron-down-20-solid" />
