Macula Dropdown

Macula Dropdown is a jQuery plugin that provides a dropdown select UI component.

Install

You can include Macula Dropdown in your project via bower

bower install macula-dropdown

Or download and build the source yourself

Use

This plugin can be registered with AMD or instantiated as a global.

It expects this HTML by default, but you can customize with options below:

<div class="m-dropdown">
  <button type="button" class="btn m-dropdown--toggle">Dropdown</button>

  <ul class="m-dropdown--menu">
    <li>
      <a href="#">Item 1</a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a href="#">Item 2</a>
    </li>
    <li class="divider">
      <a href="#">Item 3 with divider</a>
    </li>
    </ul>
</div>

Using is as simple as:

$('.m-dropdown').mDropdown()

Options

toggleSelector

Type: String

Default: .m-dropdown--toggle

Selector for what you click to open the dropdown. Think of it like a <select>

menuSelector

Type: String

Default: .m-dropdown--menu li

Selector for the dropdown items. Think of it like an <option>

selectedClass

Type: String

Default: is-selected

---

Example usage with options:

$('.my-dropdown').mDropdown({
  toggleSelector: '.my-dropdown-select'
  menuSelector: '.my-dropdown-item'
  selectedClass: 'now-selected'
})

Events

select.macula.mDropdown

This event fires immediately when a menu item is selected. The mDropdown data attribute or the text will be available as the content property of the event

<ul class="m-dropdown--menu">
  <li data-m-dropdown="custom">Item 1</li>
  ...
</ul>

$('.m-dropdown').mDropdown().on('select.macula.mDropdown', function(e) {
  console.log(e.content)
})

Triggering a click on that li will result in custom being logged to your console.
