Description

An <sp-dropdown> is an alternative to HTML's <select> element. Use an <sp-menu> element to outline the options that will be made available to the user when interacting with the <sp-dropdown> element.

Usage

yarn add @spectrum-web-components/dropdown

Import the side effectful registration of <sp-dropdown> via:

import '@spectrum-web-components/dropdown/sp-dropdown.js';

The default of <sp-dropdown> will load dependencies in @spectrum-web-components/overlay asynchronously via a dynamic import. In the case that you would like to import those tranverse dependencies statically, import the side effectful registration of <sp-dropdown> as follows:

import '@spectrum-web-components/dropdown/sync/sp-dropdown.js';

When looking to leverage the Dropdown base class as a type and/or for extension purposes, do so via:

import { Dropdown } from '@spectrum-web-components/dropdown';

Value

When the value of an <sp-dropdown> matches the value attribute or the trimmed textContent (or itemText) of a descendent <sp-menu-item> element, it will make that element as selected.

Accessibility

An <sp-dropdown> parent will ensure that the wrapped <sp-menu> features a role of listbox and contains children with the role option. Upon focusing the <sp-dropdown> using ArrowDown will also open the menu while throwing focus into first selected (or unselected when none are selected) menu item to assist in selecting of a new value.
