gavant-ember-bootstrap-dropdown

Dropdown menus built on ember-basic-dropdown, and styled by Bootstrap 4.

Installation

ember install gavant-ember-bootstrap-dropdown

IMPORTANT: ember-basic-dropdown will be installed along with the addon, and added to your app's package.json. However, if your app already has ember-basic-dropdown as a dependency via another addon, such as ember-power-select, this should be removed from your package.json via yarn remove ember-basic-dropdown.

Usage

Styles

This addon assumes that the project already has Bootstrap 4 installed, as by default, it applies CSS classes that are compatible with bootstrap's components. However, these classes can be customized if needed.

To use the addon styles, you must use SASS:

ember install ember-cli-sass

Upon addon installation, an @import statement will be added to your app.scss:

1@import "ember-basic-dropdown";
2@import "gavant-ember-bootstrap-dropdown";

IMPORTANT: If your app already has ember-basic-dropdown as a dependency via another addon, such as ember-power-select, the @import "ember-basic-dropdown"; line should be removed.

Components

This addon is simply an extension of ember-basic-dropdown, so you can use the exact same API, with a couple additional components:

1{{#dropdown-menu as |dd|}}
2    {{#dd.trigger class="btn btn-primary"}}Trigger{{/dd.trigger}}
3    {{#dd.content}}
4        {{#dropdown-action dd=dd action=(action "myAction")}}
5            Dropdown Action
6        {{/dropdown-action}}
7        {{#dropdown-link "some.route" dd=dd}}
8            Dropdown Link
9        {{/dropdown-link}}
10    {{/dd.content}}
11{{/dropdown-menu}}

{{dropdown-menu}}

Just an alias of {{basic-dropdown}}, it maintains the exact same API. It may be extended with additional behaviors/functionality in the future, so its preferred to use this component for all dropdown menus.

{{dropdown-link}}

Extends Ember.LinkComponent, so provides the same API as {{link-to}}. It adds additional classes to style it correctly in a bootstrap dropdown, and its dd attribute MUST be passed the {{#dropdown-menu as |dd|}}'s yielded dd object (e.g. {{#dropdown-link "route" dd=dd}}Foo{{/dropdown-link}}), in order for the dropdown to close when clicked.

{{dropdown-action}}

A button element that adds additional classes to style it correctly in a bootstrap dropdown. Link dropdown-link, its dd attribute MUST be passed the {{#dropdown-menu as |dd|}}'s yielded dd object (e.g. {{#dropdown-link "route" dd=dd}}Foo{{/dropdown-link}}), in order for the dropdown to close when clicked.

Additionally, the component may be passed an action via its action attribute, which will be invoked on click, and the click event object will be sent up as an action param. You may also prevent action bubbling by passing in bubbles=false.
