Bootstrap 5  Dropdowns Options can be passed through the data attributes or JavaScript.

Bootstrap 5 Dropdowns Options:

  • Using function with popperConfig: We can use this by configuring the JavaScript file.
var dropdown = new bootstrap.Dropdown(element, {
  popperConfig: function (defaultBsPopperConfig) {
    // var newPopperConfig = {...}
    // use defaultBsPopperConfig if needed...
    // return newPopperConfig
  }
})

Syntax:

<tag class="dropdown"
     data-bs-toggle="dropdown"
     data-bs-* = "..."
</tag>

Note: * can be replaced with option name.

  • data-bs-offset: This attribute specifies the distance between the dropdown menu and the reference element in pixels.
  • data-bs-reference : This attribute specifies the element that should be used as a reference for the position of the dropdown menu.
  • data-bs-toggle: This attribute is used to toggle the dropdown menu. It should be set to “dropdown”.
  • data-bs-boundary: This attribute specifies the boundary within which the dropdown menu should be contained. The possible values are “parent”, “viewport”, and “scrollParent”.

Example 1: In this example, we will demonstrate the dropdown data-bs-offset option.
