Use

Create the base layout for your button

  1. Add data-dropmic-btn attribute to your button
  2. Create a div with a dropmic css class
  3. Add a data-dropmic-direction attribute to the div (default behavior: bottom-right):
  • data-dropmic-direction="top-left"
  • data-dropmic-direction="top-right"
  • data-dropmic-direction="top-middle"
  • data-dropmic-direction="bottom-left"
  • data-dropmic-direction="bottom-right"
  • data-dropmic-direction="bottom-middle"
  1. You can also add a data-dropmic attribute to you div for target it.

Example:

<div class="dropmic" data-dropmic="42"
data-dropmic-direction="bottom-right">
  <button data-dropmic-btn>click me</button>
  <div class="dropmic-menu" aria-hidden="true">quality content</div>
</div>

Instantiate your new dropdown

var dropmic = new Dropmic(document.querySelector('[data-dropmic="42"]'));

<div class="dropmic" data-dropmic="42" data-dropmic-direction="bottom-right" role="navigation">
    <button data-dropmic-btn>click me</button>
    <div class="dropmic-menu" aria-hidden="true">
        <div class="dropmic-menu__custom">Custom content</div>
        <ul class="dropmic-menu__list" role="menu">
            <li class="dropmic-menu__listItem" role="menuitem">
                <a class="dropmic-menu__listContent" href="http://example.com" tabindex="-1">label link</a>
            </li>
            <li class="dropmic-menu__listItem" role="menuitem">
                <button class="dropmic-menu__listContent" tabindex="-1">label button</button>
            </li>
