Dropdown is a simple directive which will toggle a dropdown menu on click or programmatically. You can either use is-open to toggle or add inside a <a dropdown-toggle> element to toggle it when is clicked. There is also the on-toggle(open) optional expression fired when dropdown changes state.

Add dropdown-append-to-body to the dropdown element to append to the inner dropdown-menu to the body. This is useful when the dropdown button is inside a div with overflow: hidden, and the menu would otherwise be hidden.

Add keyboard-nav to the dropdown element to enable navigation of dropdown list elements with the arrow keys.

By default the dropdown will automatically close if any of its elements is clicked, you can change this behavior by setting the auto-close option as follows:

• always - (Default) automatically closes the dropdown when any of its elements is clicked.
• outsideClick - closes the dropdown automatically only when the user clicks any element outside the dropdown.
• disabled - disables the auto close. You can then control the open/close status of the dropdown manually, by using is-open. Please notice that the dropdown will still close if the toggle is clicked, the esc key is pressed or another dropdown is open. The dropdown will no longer close on $locationChangeSuccess events.

Optionally, you may specify a template for the dropdown menu using the template-url attribute. This is especially useful when you have multiple similar dropdowns in a repeater and you want to keep your HTML output lean and your number of scopes to a minimum. The template has full access to the scope in which the dropdown lies.

Example: <ul class="dropdown-menu" template-url="custom-dropdown.html"></ul>.
