In this post, I will show you how to implement an animated dropdown menu using jquery a library that makes our dropdown menu interactive.
How to use the animated dropdown jquery plugin?
Step 1: Load Animated Dropdown CSS assets.
<link href="/path/to/assets/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" />
Step 2: Load Animated Dropdown Javascript assets
<!-- jquery -->
<script
src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"
integrity="sha256-/xUj+3OJU5yExlq6GSYGSHk7tPXikynS7ogEvDej/m4="
crossorigin="anonymous"
></script>
<!-- main script -->
<script src="assets/js/ia-dropdown.min.js"></script>
<script src="assets/js/main.js"></script>
Step 3: Add basic dropdown menu
<div
data-dropdown-wrapper="">
<div>
<button data-dropdown-trigger="trigger">
Example
</button>
</div>
<div data-dropdown-menu="">
<div class="py-1" role="none">
<!-- Active: "bg-gray-100 text-gray-900", Not Active: "text-gray-700" -->
<a
href="#">Account settings</a
>
<a
href="#">Support</a
>
<a
href="#">License</a
>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Step 4: Initialize the jquery ia-dropdown.js plugin.
function handleDropdowns() {
const dropdowns = $("[data-dropdown-wrapper]").each(function (
index,
wrapper
) {
const dropdown = new Dropdown({ wrapper, transformOrigin: false }).init();
});
}
$(function () {
handleDropdowns();
});
Step 5: Here is the full source code of our animated dropdown menu.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>IA-DROPDOWN - A Jquery Script</title>
<link href="assets/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body class="text-gray-800">
<div class="max-w-7xl mx-auto">
<!-- intro -->
<div class="p-6">
<h1 class="text-3xl text-center font-bold mb-3">IA-DROPDOWN</h1>
<!-- block -->
<div class="p-4 rounded-lg text-sm bg-gray-200 text-gray-900">

This library is powered by <b>JQUERY</b> and it helps you setup
