Tailwind CSS Dropdown - Flowbite

Get started with the dropdown component to show a list of menu items when clicking on the trigger element based on multiple layouts, styles, and placements

The dropdown component can be used to show a list of menu items when clicking on an element such as a button and hiding it when focusing outside of the triggering element.

Make sure to include Flowbite’s JavaScript file inside your project to enable dropdowns.

Dropdown example #

If you want to show a dropdown menu when clicking on an element make sure that you add the data attribute data-dropdown-toggle="dropdownId" to the element (ie. a button) that will trigger the dropdown menu.

The dropdownId is the id of the dropdown menu element.

Dropdown hover #

Use the data-dropdown-trigger="{hover|click}" data attribute options to set whether the dropdown should be shown when hovering or clicking on the trigger element (ie. button).

There’s a 300ms default delay when showing or hiding the dropdown due to UI/UX reasons and how it may affect the interaction with other components on the page. Generally, we recommend using the click method.

<button id="dropdownHoverButton" data-dropdown-toggle="dropdownHover" data-dropdown-trigger="hover" class="text-white bg-blue-700 hover:bg-blue-800 focus:ring-4 focus:outline-none focus:ring-blue-300 font-medium rounded-lg text-sm px-5 py-2.5 text-center inline-flex items-center dark:bg-blue-600 dark:hover:bg-blue-700 dark:focus:ring-blue-800" type="button">Dropdown hover <svg class="w-2.5 h-2.5 ms-3" aria-hidden="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 10 6">

    </ul>
</div>

Delay duration #

You can use the data-dropdown-delay={milliseconds} data attribute to set they delay on when to show or hide the dropdown menu when using hover. You may want to use this depending on how the users interact with your interface. In this example we add 500 milliseconds instead of the default 300.

<button id="dropdownDelayButton" data-dropdown-toggle="dropdownDelay" data-dropdown-delay="500" data-dropdown-trigger="hover" class="text-white bg-blue-700 hover:bg-blue-800 focus:ring-4 focus:outline-none focus:ring-blue-300 font-medium rounded-lg text-sm px-5 py-2.5 text-center inline-flex items-center dark:bg-blue-600 dark:hover:bg-blue-700 dark:focus:ring-blue-800" type="button">Dropdown hover <svg class="w-2.5 h-2.5 ms-3" aria-hidden="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 10 6">

</svg>
</button>

<!-- Dropdown menu -->
<div id="dropdownDelay" class="z-10 hidden bg-white divide-y divide-gray-100 rounded-lg shadow w-44 dark:bg-gray-700">
    <ul class="py-2 text-sm text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-200" aria-labelledby="dropdownDelayButton">

Dropdown divider #

You can use the divide-y divide-gray-100 classes to add separate elements inside the dropdown menu.

<button id="dropdownDividerButton" data-dropdown-toggle="dropdownDivider" class="text-white bg-blue-700 hover:bg-blue-800 focus:ring-4 focus:outline-none focus:ring-blue-300 font-medium rounded-lg text-sm px-5 py-2.5 text-center inline-flex items-center dark:bg-blue-600 dark:hover:bg-blue-700 dark:focus:ring-blue-800" type="button">Dropdown divider <svg class="w-2.5 h-2.5 ms-3" aria-hidden="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 10 6">

Placement #

You can also use the data-dropdown-placement={top|right|bottom|left} data attribute options to choose the placement of the dropdown menu. By default the positioning is set to the bottom side of the button.

Dropdown offset #

Use the offset options on the dropdown component to set the distance and skidding of the menu relative to the trigger element.

Distance #

Use the data-dropdown-offset-distance={pixels} data attribute to set the number of pixels you want the dropdown menu to be offset from the trigger element.

<button id="dropdownOffsetButton" data-dropdown-toggle="dropdownDistance" data-dropdown-offset-distance="35" data-dropdown-offset-skidding="0" class="text-white bg-blue-700 hover:bg-blue-800 focus:ring-4 focus:outline-none focus:ring-blue-300 font-medium rounded-lg text-sm px-5 py-2.5 text-center inline-flex items-center dark:bg-blue-600 dark:hover:bg-blue-700 dark:focus:ring-blue-800" type="button">Dropdown button <svg class="w-2.5 h-2.5 ms-3 rtl:rotate-180" aria-hidden="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 6 10">

More examples #

For more dropdown examples you can check out the dropdown filter components from Flowbite Blocks.

JavaScript behaviour #

The Dropdown class from Flowbite can be used to create an object that will show a dropdown menu relative to the main trigger element (eg. a button) based on the parameters, options, and methods that you provide.

Object parameters #

Initialize a Dropdown object with the object parameters such as the main target dropdown menu, a trigger element (eg. a button) and options to set the placement relative to the trigger element.

Parameter Type Required Description
targetElement Element Required Apply the main dropdown menu element as the first parameter of the Dropdown object.
triggerElement Element Required Apply the trigger element, such as a button, which is required to position the dropdown menu and set a click event.
options Object Optional Use the options parameter to set the positioning of the dropdown menu.
instanceOptions Object Optional Object of options that allows you to set a custom ID for the instance that is being added to the Instance Manager and whether to override or not an existing instance.

Options #

Use the following options as the third parameter for the Dropdown class to set the placement of the dropdown menu.

Option Type Description
placement String Set the position of the dropdown menu relative to the trigger element choosing from top|right|bottom|left.
triggerType String Set the event type that will trigger the dropdown menu choosing between hover|click|none.
offsetDistance String Set the amount of pixels the dropdown menu should be offset relative to the trigger element on the X horizontal axis.
offsetSkidding String Set the number of pixels the dropdown menu should be offset relative to the trigger element on the Y horizontal axis.
delay Number Set the milliseconds for which the showing or hiding of the dropdown will be delayed for when using the hover trigger type.
ignoreClickOutsideClass String Set a class for one or more elements that when they are clicked should ignore closing the dropdown (ie. offcanvas datepicker).
onHide Function Set a callback function when the dropdown has been hidden.
onShow Function Set a callback function when the dropdown has been shown.
onToggle Function Set a callback function when the dropdown visibility has been toggled.

Methods #

Use the methods from the Dropdown object to programmatically show or hide the dropdown menu directly from JavaScript.

Method Description
show() Use this method on the Dropdown object to show the dropdown menu.
hide() Use this method on the Dropdown object to hide the dropdown menu.
toggle() Use this method on the Dropdown object to toggle the visibility of the dropdown menu.
isVisible() Returns true or false based on the visibility of the dropdown.
updateOnShow(callback) Use this method to set a callback function when the dropdown has been shown.
updateOnHide(callback) Use this method to set a callback function when the dropdown has been hidden.
updateOnToggle(callback) Use this method to set a callback function when the dropdown visibility has been changed.

Example #

Check out the following JavaScript example to learn how to initialize, set the options, and use the methods for the Dropdown object.

First of all, you need to set the main target element which will be the dropdown menu and the trigger element which will can be a button or a text.

After that, you can also optionally set an options object to set the placement of the dropdown menu and callback functions.

// set the dropdown menu element
const $targetEl = document.getElementById('dropdownMenu');

// set the element that trigger the dropdown menu on click
const $triggerEl = document.getElementById('dropdownButton');

// options with default values
const options = {
    placement: 'bottom',
    triggerType: 'click',
    offsetSkidding: 0,
    offsetDistance: 10,
    delay: 300,
    ignoreClickOutsideClass: false,
    onHide: () => {
        console.log('dropdown has been hidden');
    },
    onShow: () => {
        console.log('dropdown has been shown');
    },
    onToggle: () => {
        console.log('dropdown has been toggled');
    },
};

// instance options object
const instanceOptions = {
  id: 'dropdownMenu',
  override: true
};

Create a new Dropdown object based on the options above.

import { Dropdown } from 'flowbite';

/*
 * $targetEl: required
 * $triggerEl: required
 * options: optional
 * instanceOptions: optional
 */
const dropdown = new Dropdown($targetEl, $triggerEl, options, instanceOptions);

Use the show and hide methods on the Dropdown object to programmatically show or hide the dropdown menu directly from JavaScript.

// show the dropdown menu
dropdown.show();

// hide the dropdown menu
dropdown.hide();

// toggle the dropdown menu
dropdown.toggle();

// check if dropdown is visible/open
dropdown.isVisible();

HTML Markup #

Use the following HTML code for the JavaScript example above.

<button id="dropdownButton" data-dropdown-toggle="dropdown" class="text-white bg-blue-700 hover:bg-blue-800 focus:ring-4 focus:outline-none focus:ring-blue-300 font-medium rounded-lg text-sm px-5 py-2.5 text-center inline-flex items-center dark:bg-blue-600 dark:hover:bg-blue-700 dark:focus:ring-blue-800" type="button">Dropdown button <svg class="w-2.5 h-2.5 ms-3" aria-hidden="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 10 6">

TypeScript #

If you’re using the TypeScript configuration from Flowbite then you can import the types for the Dropdown class, parameters and its options.

Here’s an example that applies the types from Flowbite to the code above:

import { Dropdown } from 'flowbite';
import type { DropdownOptions, DropdownInterface } from 'flowbite';
import type { InstanceOptions } from 'flowbite';

// set the dropdown menu element
const $targetEl: HTMLElement = document.getElementById('dropdownMenu');

// set the element that trigger the dropdown menu on click
const $triggerEl: HTMLElement = document.getElementById('dropdownButton');

// options with default values
const options: DropdownOptions = {
    placement: 'bottom',
    triggerType: 'click',
    offsetSkidding: 0,
    offsetDistance: 10,
    delay: 300,
    onHide: () => {
        console.log('dropdown has been hidden');
    },
    onShow: () => {
        console.log('dropdown has been shown');
    },
    onToggle: () => {
        console.log('dropdown has been toggled');
    },
};

// instance options object
const instanceOptions: InstanceOptions = {
  id: 'dropdownMenu',
  override: true
};

/*
 * targetEl: required
 * triggerEl: required
 * options: optional
 * instanceOptions: optional
 */
const dropdown: DropdownInterface = new Dropdown(
    $targetEl,
    $triggerEl,
    options,
    instanceOptions
);

// show the dropdown
dropdown.show();
