Add option to hide dropMenu caret

[shafinmahmud]

Currently dropMenu renders with a caret besides Drop Menu. Though an option (drop) is available for down or up (default is down) but there is no way to hide them by native support from BootsFaces.

There should be an option or drop option should have some parameter to facilitate this flexibility.

I suppose you can hide the caret with a CSS rule:

dropdown-toggle > .caret {
  display:none;
 }

Does this solve your issue? Please report back so we can close the ticket.

yes. the CSS rule works nicely. But I was looking an in-house option from Bootsfaces. I think that would be nicer. Like drop option could have some value like none to do this charm.

After pondering this question for a week, I've decided not to implement a dedicated BootsFaces feature. The CSS rule does the trick. It even works if you want to show or hide the caret depending on a breakpoint. Just add a media query to it.
