Dropdowns

Dropdowns are a creative way to provide more options on a click or hover element. With Uikit dropdown component, you can attach the dropdown to couple of elements to enrich your UI composition.

Button with dropdowns

To create a button dropdown, wrap the [dropdown] shortcode around a button that you'd like to add a dropdown menu, then add the dropdowm markup right after the button. Additionally, you can add an arrow icon using the [icon] shortcode to depict a dropdown menu.

[dropdown style="uk-button-dropdown"] [button style="default" href="#" target="_self"]Dropdown 1 [icon style="icon-angle-down"/][/button] [nav style=""] <li><a href="#">Menu item</a></li> <li><a href="#">Menu item</a></li> <li class="uk-nav-header uk-navbar-nav-subtitle">Menu Heading<div>Subtitle possible</div></li> <li><a href="#">[icon style="icon-envelope-o"/] Menu Icon</a></li> <li><a href="#">[icon style="icon-heart-o"/] Another Menu item</a></li> <li class="uk-nav-divider"></li> <li><a href="#">Separated item</a></li> [/nav] [/dropdown] 

Button group with dropdowns

You can also use button groups to split buttons into a standard action on the left and a dropdown toggle on the right.

[button_group] [button style="color" href="#" target="_self"]split button[/button] [dropdown style=""] [button style="color" href="#" target="_self"][icon style="icon-angle-down"/][/button] [nav style=""] ...menu items [/nav] [/dropdown] [/button_group] 

The following is a list of possible style options for the [nav] dropdown menu

uk-dropdown-flip	Aligns the dropdown menu to the right
uk-dropdown-up	Aligns the dropdown menu above the toggle
