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
