Bootstrap 5 Dropdowns
Dropdowns are responsible for toggleable (collapsible) display a list of links.
To take advantage of our Bootstrap images component and use them in your project, you first need to install the MDB 5 Free package
Watch our Quick Start Tutorial to discover and use the full potential of MDB 5 and MDB CLI
Before starting the project make sure to install Node LTS (12.x.x recommended).
To install MDB UI KIT in your project easily type the following command in the terminal:
npm i mdb-ui-kit
You can import the entire library or just individual modules:
import * as mdb from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // lib
import { Input } from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // module
To import MDB stylesheet please use the following syntax:
@import '~mdb-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css';
You can also import individual SCSS modules. To do it properly, we recommend to copy them from the node_modules/mdb-ui-kit/src/scss location directly to your project and import in the same way as CSS files.
You can significantly speed up the process of creating a new project based on Webpack using our Starter.
Installation via CDN is one of the easiest methods of integrating MDB UI KIT with your project. Just copy the latest compiled JS script tag and CSS link tag from cdnjs to the application.
Don't forget to add also Font Awesome and Roboto font if you need. Here's an example code:
<!-- Font Awesome -->
<link
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700&display=swap"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- MDB -->
<link
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- MDB -->
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.js"
></script>
Wrap the dropdownโs toggle (your button or link) and the dropdown menu within .dropdown
, or another element that declares position: relative;
. Dropdowns can be triggered from <a>
or <button>
elements to better fit your potential needs. The examples shown here use semantic <ul>
elements where appropriate, but custom markup is supported.
Any single .btn
can be turned into a dropdown toggle with some markup changes. Hereโs how you can put them to work with either <button>
elements:
<div class="dropdown">
<button
class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle"
type="button"
id="dropdownMenuButton"
data-mdb-toggle="dropdown"
aria-expanded="false"
>
Dropdown button
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
And with <a>
elements:
<div class="dropdown">
<a
class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle"
href="#"
role="button"
id="dropdownMenuLink"
data-mdb-toggle="dropdown"
aria-expanded="false"
>
Dropdown link
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuLink">
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
