how to handle a dropdown visibility manually instead of Vuetify controls this - vue.js

Question

I have created a dropdown menu in vuetify which looks like this:
[![enter image description here][1]][1]
`
<v-menu offset-y>
<template v-slot:activator="{ on }">
<v-btn text v-on="on">
Details
</v-btn>
</template>
<v-list>
<v-list-item>
<v-form ref="form">
<v-radio-group v-model="metrics" required>
<v-radio
label="ABC"
value="abc"
></v-radio>
<v-radio label="XYZ" value="xyz"></v-radio>
</v-radio-group>
<v-divider></v-divider>
<v-radio-group v-model="order" required>
<v-radio
label="Higher"
value="higher"
></v-radio>
<v-radio
label="Lower"
value="lower"
></v-radio>
</v-radio-group>
<v-divider></v-divider>
<v-btn
#click="
sortTableData(
metrics,
order,
$props.tableItems
)
"
>
Apply
</v-btn>
</v-form>
</v-list-item>
</v-list>
</v-menu>`
however,
when I click the Dropdown and select for eg:Installs, the menu
closes..
I have to click the Dropdown again to choose higher/lower..
and the menu closes again..
And again I have to click the Dropdown to Click "Apply" button.
Question : Is there Any way I can hold this menu until I click "Apply"?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help !

Answer 1

Ok, the idea here is to manually handle the dropdown visibility instead of letting Vuetify controls this.
To do so, you need to:
add a :close-on-content-click="false" on your <v-menu> (doc)
add a v-model directive binded to a "data" boolean value (ex: v-model="isDropdownDisplayed"), initialized to false (closed dropdown at load)
The first prop tells Vuetify to not close the dropdown when clicking on content (only an outside click will do it), while the second prop is linking the dropdown visilibity to your custom data boolean value.
As your "data" boolean value is initialized to false (closed dropdown) and is automatically updated to true via the v-model when opening the dropdown, the left thing to do is to pass this value to false on your sortTableData method.
Assuming you're using SFC (but the approach is the same for pure JS components):
Template
<v-menu offset-y :close-on-content-click="false" v-model="isDropdownDisplayed">
...
</v-menu>
Script
{
name: 'MyComponent',
data: function () {
return {
isDropdownDisplayed: false
}
},
methods: {
sortTableData: function (/* args */) {
// ...
this.isDropdownDisplayed = false
// ...
}
}
}
