<iron-dropdown>

<iron-dropdown> displays content inside a fixed-position container, positioned relative to another element.

See: Documentation, Demo.

Usage

Installation

npm install --save @polymer/iron-dropdown

In an HTML file

<html>
  <head>
    <script type="module">
      import '@polymer/iron-dropdown/iron-dropdown.js';
    </script>
    <style>
      #container {
        display: inline-block;
      }

      iron-dropdown {
        border: 1px solid gray;
        background: white;
        font-size: 2em;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="container">
      <button onclick="dropdown.open();">open the iron-dropdown</button>
      <iron-dropdown id="dropdown" no-overlap>
        <div slot="dropdown-content">Hello!</div>
      </iron-dropdown>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

In a Polymer 3 element

import {PolymerElement, html} from '@polymer/polymer';
import '@polymer/iron-dropdown/iron-dropdown.js';

class SampleElement extends PolymerElement {
  static get template() {
    return html`
      <style>
        :host {
          display: inline-block;
        }

        iron-dropdown {
          border: 1px solid gray;
          background: white;
          font-size: 2em;
        }
      </style>
      <button on-click="_openDropdown">open the dropdown</button>
      <iron-dropdown id="dropdown" horizontal-align="right" vertical-align="top">
        <div slot="dropdown-content">Hello!</div>
      </iron-dropdown>
    `;
  }

  _openDropdown() {
    this.$.dropdown.open();
  }
}
customElements.define('sample-element', SampleElement);

In the above example, the <div> assigned to the dropdown-content slot will be hidden until the dropdown element has opened set to true, or when the open method is called on the element.
