Add a dropdown list to any button. Make sure that the data-target
attribute matches the id in the <ul>
tag. You can add a divider with the <li class="divider"></li> tag. You can also add icons. Just add the icon
inside
the anchor tag.
<!-- Dropdown Trigger -->
<a class='dropdown-trigger btn' href='#' data-target='dropdown1'>Drop Me!</a>
<!-- Dropdown Structure -->
<ul id='dropdown1' class='dropdown-content'>
<li><a href="#!">one</a></li>
<li><a href="#!">two</a></li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li><a href="#!">three</a></li>
<li><a href="#!"><i class="material-icons">view_module</i>four</a></li>
<li><a href="#!"><i class="material-icons">cloud</i>five</a></li>
</ul>

To use these inline you have to add them as data attributes. If you want more dynamic control, you can define them using the jQuery plugin below.
<a class='dropdown-trigger btn' data-coverTrigger="true" href='#' data-target='dropdown1'>Drop Me!</a>
jQuery Plugin Initialization
Initialization for dropdowns is only necessary if you create them dynamically.
$('.dropdown-trigger').dropdown({
inDuration: 300,
outDuration: 225,
constrainWidth: false, // Does not change width of dropdown to that of the activator
hover: true, // Activate on hover
gutter: 0, // Spacing from edge
coverTrigger: false, // Displays dropdown below the button
alignment: 'left', // Displays dropdown with edge aligned to the left of button
stopPropagation: false // Stops event propagation
}
);
You can also open dropdowns programatically, the below code will make your modal open on document ready:
$('.dropdown-trigger').dropdown('open');
You can also close dropdowns programatically:
$('.dropdown-trigger').dropdown('close');
