##Installation

Npm installation:

npm i @wizardhealth/wh-dropdown

or Yarn:

yarn add @wizardhealth/wh-dropdown

Usage

An example of a simple dropdown is added to the index.html file. In order for anything to show up in the list at least one wh-menu-item element with text needs to be added. The button for opening the dropdown can be any element you like as long as it contains a slot="button" attribute:

<wh-dropdown>
  <span slot="button">Button Name</span>
  <wh-menu-item>First Item</wh-menu-item>
  <wh-menu-item>Second Item</wh-menu-item>
  <wh-menu-item>Third Item</wh-menu-item>
</wh-dropdown>

Attributes

opened

The opened attribute determines the visibility of the item list. The property can be set as an html attribute while defining the dropdown. Setting the attribute like this:

<wh-dropdown opened></wh-dropdown>

This will start the dropdown opened. Omitting the attribute will render the component closed.

skidding

The skidding attribute determines the position of the item list on the X axis. The property is set as follows:

<wh-dropdown skidding="25"></wh-dropdown>

The number adds the margin-left property in pixels. The attribute can take on negative values as well.

distance

The distance attribute determines the distance between the opener button and the item list:

<wh-dropdown distance="15"></wh-dropdown>

The number adds the margin-top property in pixels

Events

Selecting an item by clicking or by pressing Enter will invoke a wh-select event. Listening to this event will provide the item that was selected via event.item:

document.getElementById("custom-element").addEventListener(e => {
  console.log(e.detail.item)
});
