Virtualization for DropdownMenu component

[AlMuz]

Package

v4.x

Description

@benjamincanac, according to the source code and documentation, virtualization functionality is planned for several components except for DropdownMenu. However, this component can also contain a large number of items. Could you please add virtualization support for it as well?

Additional context

Could you describe a case where you would need a list of thousand of items inside a DropdownMenu? There is no search possible so from a user perspective it doesn't make sense 🤔

In my case, I need a component that supports multiple tags and opens a dropdown with a search input and a list inside when clicked.

None of the existing Nuxt UI components meet this requirement:

• Input menu – the search input is inside the parent component.
• Select and Select menu – lack tag functionality for multiple selections.

Therefore, I created a custom component that contains tags. When the component is clicked, it opens a dropdown menu with a search input at the top.

That’s why I’m requesting virtualization support for this component. Alternatively, I’d appreciate any suggestions on how to address this issue.

I don't see how the DropdownMenu intervenes here as it doesn't support search nor selection.
Why not use the CommandPalette inside a Popover instead? https://ui.nuxt.com/docs/components/command-palette#within-a-popover

Selection works with https://ui.nuxt.com/docs/components/dropdown-menu#with-checkbox-items
Search - filtering logic according on search text and input inside the content-top slot.

I will check that, thanks
