The ButtonDropdown component is used to render a group or split button dropdown bootstrap component. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the ReactJS Reactstrap ButtonDropdown Component.

ButtonDropdown Props:

Creating React Application And Installing Module:

Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:

npx create-react-app foldername

Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:

cd foldername

Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the required module using the following command:

npm install reactstrap bootstrap

Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Project Structure

Example 1: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.

Javascript

import React from 'react'
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'; 
import { 
    DropdownMenu, DropdownItem, 
    ButtonDropdown, DropdownToggle 
} from "reactstrap"
  
function App() { 
  
    // ButtonDropdown open state 
    const [dropdownOpen, setOpen] = React.useState(false); 
  
    return ( 
        <div style={{ 
            display: 'block', width: 700, padding: 30 
        }}> 
            <h4>ReactJS Reactstrap ButtonDropdown Component</h4> 
            <ButtonDropdown toggle={() => { setOpen(!dropdownOpen) }} 
                isOpen={dropdownOpen}> 
                <DropdownToggle className="bg-primary" caret> 
                    Sample Button Dropdown 
                </DropdownToggle> 
                <DropdownMenu> 
                    <DropdownItem header>Numeric Characters 
                    </DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem>One</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem>Two</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem>Three</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem>Four</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem>Five</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem>Six</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem>Seven</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem>Eight</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem>Nine</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem>Zero</DropdownItem> 
                </DropdownMenu> 
            </ButtonDropdown> 
        </div > 
    ); 
} 
  
export default App;

Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:

npm start

Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:

Example 2: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here we have shown the dropdown component with the use of Header, Active, Disabled, and divider props.

Javascript

import React from 'react'
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'; 
import { 
    DropdownMenu, DropdownItem, 
    ButtonDropdown, DropdownToggle 
} from "reactstrap"
  
function App() { 
  
    return ( 
        <div style={{ 
            display: 'block', width: 700, padding: 30 
        }}> 
            <h4>ReactJS Reactstrap ButtonDropdown Component</h4> 
            <ButtonDropdown isOpen={true}> 
                <DropdownToggle className="bg-secondary"> 
                    Different Props Applied</DropdownToggle> 
                <DropdownMenu> 
                    <DropdownItem header>Header Item</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem active>Active Item</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem disabled>Disabled Item</DropdownItem> 
                    <DropdownItem divider>Divider Item</DropdownItem> 
                </DropdownMenu> 
            </ButtonDropdown> 
        </div > 
    ); 
} 
  
export default App;
