Semantic-UI Dropdown Variations
Last Updated :
24 Mar, 2022
Semantic UI is an open-source framework that uses CSS and jQuery to build great user interfaces. It is the same as a bootstrap for use and has great different elements to make your website look more amazing. It uses a class to add CSS to the elements.
The dropdown allows users to choose one value among multiple values. It is an essential part of a webpage, as it increases interactivity. Semantic UI provides us with a styled dropdown. Let’s have a look at various Dropdown Variations.
Semantic UI Dropdown Variations:
- Scrolling: This variation allows the dropdown to be scrollable.
- Compact: This variation removes the minimum width from the dropdown menu.
- Fluid: The dropdown takes the full width of its parent.
- Menu Direction: Semantic UI allows us to specify the direction in which the menu should open.
Syntax:
<div class="ui Dropdown-Variation-class dropdown">
<i class="dropdown icon"></i>
<div class="text">...</div>
<div class="menu">
<div class="item">...</div>
...
</div>
</div>
Note: Use the above syntax according to the need by using a combination of the above-mentioned classes. Refer to the examples below for a better understanding of the classes.
Example 1: In the below example, we have created a scrolling dropdown.
