##<iron-dropdown>

`` is a generalized element that is useful when you have hidden content (`.dropdown-content`) that is revealed due to some change in state that should cause it to do so.

Note that this is a low-level element intended to be used as part of other composite elements that cause dropdowns to be revealed.

Examples of elements that might be implemented using an `iron-dropdown` include comboboxes, menubuttons, selects. The list goes on.

The `` element exposes attributes that allow the position of the `.dropdown-content` relative to the `.dropdown-trigger` to be configured.

```html

Hello!
```

In the above example, the `

` with class `.dropdown-content` will be hidden until the dropdown element has `opened` set to true, or when the `open` method is called on the element.
