Dropdown Edit

Dropdown is a React component to render a button that opens a floating content modal when clicked.

This component takes care of updating the state of the dropdown menu (opened/closed), handles closing the menu when clicking outside and uses render props to render the button and the content.

Usage Usage

import { Button, Dropdown } from '@wordpress/components';

const MyDropdown = () => (
    <Dropdown
        className="my-container-class-name"
        contentClassName="my-popover-content-classname"
        position="bottom right"
        renderToggle={ ( { isOpen, onToggle } ) => (
            <Button
                variant="primary"
                onClick={ onToggle }
                aria-expanded={ isOpen }
            >
                Toggle Popover!
            </Button>
        ) }
        renderContent={ () => <div>This is the content of the popover.</div> }
    />
);
