Default


This kit's options prop requires an array of objects, each of which will be used as the selectable options within the dropdown. Each option object can support any number of key-value pairs, but each MUST contain label, value and id.

The kit also comes with a custom event called "pb:dropdown:selected" which updates dynamically with the selection as it changes. See code snippet to see this in action.

In addition, a data attribute called data-option-selected with the selection is also rendered on the parent dropdown div.

Autocomplete


The autocomplete prop can be used to add autocomplete or typeahead functionality to the Dropdown's default Trigger. This prop is set to 'false' by default.

Multi Select


multi_select is a boolean prop that if set to true will allow for multiple options to be selected from the Dropdown.

multi_select is set to false by default.

Multi Select with Autocomplete


multiSelect can also be used with the autocomplete functionality.

Multi Select with Form Pill Props


By default, the multi_select prop will render selected options as the default form_pill. form_pill_props however can be used to customize these Pills with props that exist for the form_pill. Currently, only the 'color' and 'size' props are supported as shown here.

Subtle Variant


For the subtle variant, it is recommended that you set the Separators prop to false to remove the separator lines between the options for a cleaner look.

Subcomponent Structure


The dropdown is built using all of the following required subcomponents:

dropdown/dropdown_trigger is the UI component that users interact with to toggle the dropdown.
dropdown/dropdown_container is the floating container that wraps the list of dropdown options.
dropdown/dropdown_option renders options that are passed to the container.
Each of these subcomponents can be altered using global props and/or their respective props. See doc examples below for more information on each.

Autocomplete with Subcomponent Structure


autocomplete prop can also be used in conjunction with the subcomponent structure.

With Label

Select a Country

The top-level Dropdown component optionally accepts any string through a label prop to produce a label above your trigger element.

Custom Options


dropdown/dropdown_option subcomponent accepts any child components to customize the options' contents and display. By default, options are Body kit text that is set by the label value from the option object.

Multi Select with Custom Options


Custom Display


Optionally utilize custom_display on the dropdown/dropdown_trigger subcomponent to customize its content after an option is selected. Pass in any combination of kits to create a custom display. When a user clicks on an option, the kits passed into custom_display will display as the selected option.

Make use of a script to help set the custom_display with the correct value. By using the pb:dropdown:selected event listener, you can target the kits with a querySelector and update them dynamically with the values needed to match the selected option. Make sure to add an ID to the kits being passed in.

The placeholder prop can also be used to customize the placeholder text for the default dropdown/dropdown_trigger.

The dropdown follows the typical rails pattern of utilizing hidden inputs for form submission. The hidden input value is the selected options' id.

Custom Trigger


Optionally replace the default trigger's select element by passing child components directly to the dropdown/dropdown_trigger.

Custom Trigger Dropdown with Search


The optional searchbar boolean prop can also be used on the dropdown/dropdown_container to render a searchbar with typeahead functionality within the dropdown itself. This is especially useful when a custom trigger is being used.
searchbar is set to false by default.

Custom Option Padding


By default, dropdown option paddingX is set to sm and paddingY is set to xs, but this padding can be overridden using our global padding props. In this example we are setting the option padding to sm all around.
