Use ActionMenu instead.


The Dropdown component is a lightweight context menu for housing navigation and actions.

Use Dropdown.Button as the trigger for the dropdown, or use a custom summary element if you would like. You must use a summary tag in order for the dropdown to behave properly!. You should also add aria-haspopup="true" to custom dropdown triggers for accessibility purposes. You can use the Dropdown.Caret component to add a caret to a custom dropdown trigger.

Dropdown.Menu wraps your menu content. Be sure to pass a direction prop to this component to position the menu in relation to the Dropdown.Button.
