Bootstrap users know these as [dropdowns]({{ site.baseurl }}/components/dropdowns/), but these are also known as menus in the [Material Design specification](https://www.google.com/design/spec/components/menus.html#menus-specs).

## Alignment

### Lower left side
{% example html %}
<div class="btn-group open">
  <button class="btn bmd-btn-icon dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="ll1" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
    <i class="material-icons">more_vert</i>
  </button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-left" aria-labelledby="ll1">
    <button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Action</button>
    <button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Another action</button>
    <button class="dropdown-item disabled" type="button">Disabled action</button>
    <div class="dropdown-divider"> </div>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
  </div>
</div>
{% endexample %}

### Lower right side

`dropdown` usage misaligned - see [upstream Bootstrap issue #18552](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/18852#issuecomment-202524375).  Use `btn-group` instead until issue is resolved (next example).
{% example html %}
<div class="dropdown open pull-xs-right">
  <button class="btn bmd-btn-icon dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="lr1" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
    <i class="material-icons">more_vert</i>
  </button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" aria-labelledby="lr1">
    <button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Action</button>
    <button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Another action</button>
    <button class="dropdown-item disabled" type="button">Disabled action</button>
    <div class="dropdown-divider"> </div>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
  </div>
</div>
{% endexample %}


`btn-group` usage works fine in this alignment.
{% example html %}
<div class="btn-group open pull-xs-right">
  <button class="btn bmd-btn-icon dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="lr2" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
    <i class="material-icons">more_vert</i>
  </button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" aria-labelledby="lr2">
    <button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Action</button>
    <button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Another action</button>
    <button class="dropdown-item disabled" type="button">Disabled action</button>
    <div class="dropdown-divider"> </div>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
  </div>
</div>
{% endexample %}

  <div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" aria-labelledby="mw1">
