Overview of the Phoenix LiveView dropdown Component

The Mishka Chelekom dropdown component is a highly customizable Phoenix LiveView tool for creating interactive and responsive dropdown menus. Ideal for navigation, action selection, and content display, it supports various styles, positions, and triggers with flexible options for colors, sizes, and border styles to seamlessly integrate into your app's design.

This Phoenix LiveView component also includes customizable triggers for hover or click activation, as well as multiple content options, making it a versatile solution for enhancing user interaction and navigation within your application.

By using the class prop, you can apply custom classes or Tailwind CSS classes to customize the appearance and behavior of the components, allowing for flexible design changes.

The dropdown is a wrapper that includes a trigger, which can be any button or the Mishka button component, and a dropdown_content component. You can add any list for navigation or other purposes in the content.

<.dropdown relative="relative">
  <.dropdown_trigger>
    <.button color="primary" icon="hero-chevron-down" size="small" right_icon>
      Mishka dropdown
    </.button>
  </.dropdown_trigger>

  <.dropdown_content space="small" rounded="large" width="full" padding="extra_small">
    <.list size="small">
      <:item padding="extra_small" icon="hero-envelope">Dashboard</:item>
      <:item padding="extra_small" icon="hero-camera">Settings</:item>
      <:item padding="extra_small" icon="hero-camera">Earning</:item>
      <:item padding="extra_small" icon="hero-calendar">Sign out</:item>
    </.list>
  </.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

The dropdown component supports four distinct variants: default, outline, unbordered, and shadow. Each variant can be styled with a variety of colors, including white, primary, secondary, dark, success, warning, danger, info, light, misc, and dawn. These combinations allow for extensive customization to suit the design needs of your application.

<.dropdown relative="relative">
  <.dropdown_content variant="default" color="white"></.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

<.dropdown relative="relative">
  <.dropdown_content variant="default" color="primary"></.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

  <.dropdown_content variant="unbordered" color="success"></.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

<.dropdown relative="relative">
  <.dropdown_content variant="unbordered" color="warning"></.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

<.dropdown relative="relative">
  <.dropdown_content variant="outline" color="danger"></.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

<.dropdown relative="relative">
  <.dropdown_content variant="outline" color="info"></.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

<.dropdown relative="relative">
  <.dropdown_content variant="default" color="light"></.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

  <.dropdown_content variant="shadow" color="misc"></.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

<.dropdown relative="relative">
  <.dropdown_content variant="unbordered" color="dawn"></.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

The dropdown component provides flexible positioning options through the position attribute. By default, the dropdown appears at the bottom, but it can be adjusted to other positions such as left, right, top, top-left, top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left provide even more precise alignment, enhancing the layout flexibility in your application.

<.dropdown position="left"></.dropdown>

<.dropdown position="right"></.dropdown>

<.dropdown position="top"></.dropdown>

<.dropdown position="top-left"></.dropdown>

<.dropdown position="top-right"></.dropdown>

<.dropdown position="bottom-left"></.dropdown>

<.dropdown position="bottom-right"></.dropdown>

The relative attribute in the dropdown component allows you to customize the relative positioning of the dropdown in relation to its trigger or parent element. By default, the dropdown takes no specific relative position, but using the relative attribute, you can set custom positioning for cases where the dropdown needs to adjust its placement dynamically within a specific context. This is particularly useful when the dropdown's position is dependent on its surrounding layout, such as within a scrolling container or when aligning it relative to other elements on the page. The flexibility of the relative attribute ensures that the dropdown can be tailored to fit seamlessly into various UI designs.

<.dropdown relative="relative">
  <.dropdown_trigger></.dropdown_trigger>

  <.dropdown_content></.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

The clickable attribute, when set to true, allows the dropdown to be activated by a click. For this to work, the dropdown_trigger must have a unique trigger_id, and the corresponding dropdown_content should use the same ID. This links the trigger to the content, enabling the dropdown to function correctly on click.

<.dropdown relative="relative" clickable>
  <.dropdown_trigger trigger_id="unique_id"></.dropdown_trigger>

  <.dropdown_content id="unique_id"></.dropdown_content>
</.dropdown>

The nomobile attribute is useful for fixing the position of nested dropdowns on mobile devices. When set to true, it adjusts the dropdown's positioning to ensure proper display in responsive layouts, particularly in complex navigation menus like a navbar. This prevents nested dropdowns from overlapping or displaying incorrectly on smaller screens, improving the overall usability and appearance of dropdowns in mobile views. this feature is only for mobile so you can see the influence of this prop in smaller screen sizes.
