          </script>

Split button

Similarly, create split button dropdowns by placing regular MDBBtn component and additional MDBDropdownToggle with split property for proper spacing around the dropdown caret.

We use this extra class to reduce the horizontal padding on either side of the caret by 25% and remove the margin-left that’s added for regular button dropdowns. Those extra changes keep the caret centered in the split button and provide a more appropriately sized hit area next to the main button. 

        
            
            <template>
              <!-- Example split primary button -->
              <MDBDropdown btnGroup v-model="dropdown12">
                <MDBBtn color="primary">Action</MDBBtn>
                <MDBDropdownToggle split @click="dropdown12 = !dropdown12" />
                <MDBDropdownMenu>
                  <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Action</MDBDropdownItem>
                  <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Another Action</MDBDropdownItem>
                  <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Something else here</MDBDropdownItem>
                  <MDBDropdownItem divider />
                  <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Separated link</MDBDropdownItem>
                </MDBDropdownMenu>
              </MDBDropdown>
            </template>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script>
              import { MDBDropdown, MDBDropdownToggle, MDBDropdownMenu, MDBDropdownItem, MDBBtn } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
              import { ref } from 'vue';
              export default {
                components: {
                  MDBDropdown,
                  MDBDropdownToggle,
                  MDBDropdownMenu,
                  MDBDropdownItem,
                  MDBBtn
                },
                setup() {
                  const dropdown12 = ref(false);
                  return {
                    dropdown12
                  }
                }
              };
            </script>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script setup lang="ts">
              import { MDBDropdown, MDBDropdownToggle, MDBDropdownMenu, MDBDropdownItem, MDBBtn } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";

                  }
                };
              </script>

Menu items

Historically dropdown menu contents had to be links. Now you can optionally use <button> elements in your dropdowns instead of just <a>. 

        
            
            <template>
              <MDBDropdown v-model="dropdown23">
                <MDBDropdownToggle @click="dropdown23 = !dropdown23">
                  Dropdown
                </MDBDropdownToggle>
                <MDBDropdownMenu>
                  <MDBDropdownItem tag="button">Action</MDBDropdownItem>
                  <MDBDropdownItem tag="button">Another Action</MDBDropdownItem>
                  <MDBDropdownItem tag="button">Something else here</MDBDropdownItem>
                </MDBDropdownMenu>
              </MDBDropdown>
            </template>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script>
              import { MDBDropdown, MDBDropdownToggle, MDBDropdownMenu, MDBDropdownItem } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
              import { ref } from 'vue';
              export default {
                components: {
                  MDBDropdown,
                  MDBDropdownToggle,
                  MDBDropdownMenu,
                  MDBDropdownItem
                },
                setup() {
                  const dropdown23 = ref(false);
                  return {
                    dropdown23
                  }
                }
              };
            </script>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script setup lang="ts">
              import { MDBDropdown, MDBDropdownToggle, MDBDropdownMenu, MDBDropdownItem } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
              import { ref } from 'vue';
                  
              const dropdown23 = ref(false);
            </script>

You can also create non-interactive dropdown items with text property. Feel free to style further with custom CSS or text utilities. 

        
            
            <template>
              <MDBDropdownMenu static>
                <MDBDropdownItem text>Dropdown item text</MDBDropdownItem>
                <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Action</MDBDropdownItem>
                <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Another action</MDBDropdownItem>
                <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Something else here</MDBDropdownItem>
              </MDBDropdownMenu>
            </template>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script>
              import { MDBDropdownMenu, MDBDropdownItem } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
              export default {
                components: {
                  MDBDropdownMenu,
                  MDBDropdownItem
                }
              };
            </script>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script setup lang="ts">
              import { MDBDropdownMenu, MDBDropdownItem } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
            </script>

Active

Add active property to items in the dropdown to style them as active. 

        
            
              <template>
                <MDBDropdownMenu static>
                  <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Regular link</MDBDropdownItem>
                  <MDBDropdownItem href="#" active>Active link</MDBDropdownItem>
                  <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Another link</MDBDropdownItem>
                </MDBDropdownMenu>
              </template>

                import { MDBDropdownMenu, MDBDropdownItem } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
              </script>

Disabled

Add disabled property to items in the dropdown to style them as disabled. 

        
            
              <template>
                <MDBDropdownMenu static>
                  <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Regular link</MDBDropdownItem>
                  <MDBDropdownItem href="#" disabled>Disabled link</MDBDropdownItem>
                  <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Another link</MDBDropdownItem>
                </MDBDropdownMenu>
              </template>
            
        
    
        
            
              <script>
                import { MDBDropdownMenu, MDBDropdownItem } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
                export default {
                  components: {
                    MDBDropdownMenu,
                    MDBDropdownItem
                  }
                };
              </script>
            
        
    
        
            
              <script setup lang="ts">
                import { MDBDropdownMenu, MDBDropdownItem } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
              </script>

Menu alignment

By default, a dropdown menu is automatically positioned 100% from the top and along the left side of its parent. Add align="end" property to a MDBDropdown to right align the dropdown menu. 

        
            
            <MDBDropdown align="end" v-model="dropdown24">
              <MDBDropdownToggle @click="dropdown24 = !dropdown24">
                Right-aligned menu
              </MDBDropdownToggle>
              <MDBDropdownMenu>
                <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Action</MDBDropdownItem>
                <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Another Action</MDBDropdownItem>
                <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Something else here</MDBDropdownItem>
              </MDBDropdownMenu>
            </MDBDropdown>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script>
              import { MDBDropdown, MDBDropdownToggle, MDBDropdownMenu, MDBDropdownItem } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
              import { ref } from 'vue';
              export default {
                components: {
                  MDBDropdown,
                  MDBDropdownToggle,
                  MDBDropdownMenu,
                  MDBDropdownItem
                },
                setup() {
                  const dropdown24 = ref(false);
                  return {
                    dropdown24
                  }
                }
              };
            </script>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script setup lang="ts">
              import { MDBDropdown, MDBDropdownToggle, MDBDropdownMenu, MDBDropdownItem } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
              import { ref } from 'vue';
                  
              const dropdown24 = ref(false);
            </script>

Responsive alignment

If you want to make dropdown alignment responsive, use the responsive variation classes.

To align right the dropdown menu with the given breakpoint or larger, add align="sm|md|lg|xl|xxl-end".

To align left the dropdown menu with the given breakpoint or larger, add align="sm|md|lg|xl|xxl-start". 

        
            
              <template>
                <MDBDropdown btnGroup align="lg-end" v-model="dropdown25">
                  <MDBDropdownToggle @click="dropdown25 = !dropdown25">
                    Left-aligned but right aligned when large screen
                  </MDBDropdownToggle>
                  <MDBDropdownMenu>
                    <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Action</MDBDropdownItem>
                    <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Another Action</MDBDropdownItem>
                    <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Something else here</MDBDropdownItem>
                  </MDBDropdownMenu>
                </MDBDropdown>
              </template>
            
        
    
        
            
              <script>
                import {
                  MDBDropdown,
                  MDBDropdownToggle,
                  MDBDropdownMenu,
                  MDBDropdownItem,
                } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
                import { ref } from 'vue';
                export default {
                  components: {
                    MDBDropdown,
                    MDBDropdownToggle,
                    MDBDropdownMenu,

                    const dropdown25 = ref(false);
                    return {
                      dropdown25,
                    };
                  },
                };
              </script>
            
        
    
        
            
              <script setup lang="ts">

                const dropdown25 = ref(false);
              </script>

To align dropdown menu right by default, but left when the given breakpoint or larger, add :align="['end', 'sm|md|lg|xl|xxl-start']". 

        
            
              <template>
                <MDBDropdown btnGroup :align="['end', 'lg-start']" v-model="dropdown26">

                  </MDBDropdownToggle>
                  <MDBDropdownMenu>
                    <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Action</MDBDropdownItem>
                    <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Another Action</MDBDropdownItem>
                    <MDBDropdownItem href="#">Something else here</MDBDropdownItem>
                  </MDBDropdownMenu>
                </MDBDropdown>
              </template>
            
        
    
        
            
              <script>
                import {
                  MDBDropdown,
                  MDBDropdownToggle,
                  MDBDropdownMenu,
                  MDBDropdownItem,
                } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
                import { ref } from 'vue';
                export default {
                  components: {
                    MDBDropdown,

                    };
                  },
                };
              </script>
            
        
    
        
            
              <script setup lang="ts">
                import {

                const dropdown26 = ref(false);
              </script>

Note that you don’t need to add a data-mdb-display="static" attribute to dropdown buttons in navbars, since Popper isn’t used in navbars.

Alignment options

Taking most of the options shown above, here’s a small kitchen sink demo of various dropdown alignment options in one place.

Note: For the secondary buttons it may be required to remove the shadow with .shadow-0 class.

Text

Place any freeform text within a dropdown menu with text and use spacing utilities. Note that you’ll likely need additional sizing styles to constrain the menu width.

Some example text that's free-flowing within the dropdown menu.

And this is more example text.

        
            
              <template>
                <MDBDropdownMenu
                  static
                  class="p-4 text-muted"
                  style="max-width: 200px;"
                >
                  <p>
                    Some example text that's free-flowing within the dropdown
                    menu.
                  </p>
                  <p class="mb-0">And this is more example text.</p>
                </MDBDropdownMenu>

                  }
                };
              </script>

              </script>

Forms

Put a form within a dropdown menu, or make it into a dropdown menu, and use margin or padding utilities to give it the negative space you require.

CSS variables

As part of MDB’s evolving CSS variables approach, dropdown now uses local CSS variables on .dropdown-menu, .dropdown-item and .dropdown-divider for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.
