In my current project with NextJS and Tailwind CSS, I've successfully created a dropdown menu but I'm facing an issue with positioning the arrow to point to the specific element being hovered on. In a previous version, I tried rotating a div at 45deg to create the arrow, but it caused issues with the dropdown taking up the full screen. Now that the dropdown is full screen, I need help figuring out how to position the arrow correctly. Since I can't disclose too many details due to confidentiality reasons, here's an example image of what I'm aiming for:
Below is the code snippet I currently have:
import React from 'react'
import { navLinks } from '../data/navdata'
const DropdownHover = ({ index }) => {
return (
<div className="group-hover:block absolute left-0 w-full hidden text-dark-gray mt-8 bg-pink" aria-labelledby="dropdownButton">
<div className="justify-center">
<div className="flex py-10 px-20 text-sm justify-between">
{navLinks[index].hover.map((link, index) => {
return (
<div className="" key={index}>
<p className="text-navbar-gray py-2 uppercase font-semibold">{link.name}</p>
{link.links.map((sublink, index) => {
return(<p className="" key={index}><a className="bg-pink hover:text-red py-2 block whitespace-no-wrap" href={sublink.path}>{sublink.name}</a></p>)
})}
</div>
)
})}
</div>
<div className="flex text-sm px-20 py-10">
<div className='pr-40'>
<p className="text-navbar-gray py-2 uppercase font-semibold">Dummy Data</p>
<p className=""><a className="bg-pink hover:text-red py-2 block whitespace-no-wrap" href="#">Dummy Data</a></p>
<p className=""><a className="bg-pink hover:text-red py-2 block whitespace-no-wrap" href="#">Dummy Data</a></p>
<p className=""><a className="bg-pink hover:text-red py-2 block whitespace-no-wrap" href="#">Dummy Data</a></p>
</div>
<div>
<p className="text-navbar-gray py-2 uppercase font-semibold">Dummy Data</p>
<p className=""><a className="bg-pink hover:text-red py-2 block whitespace-no-wrap" href="#">Dummy Data</a></p>
<p className=""><a className="bg-pink hover:text-red py-2 block whitespace-no-wrap" href="#">Dummy Data</a></p>
<p className=""><a className="bg-pink hover:text-red py-2 block whitespace-no-wrap" href="#">Dummy Data</a></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
)
}
export default DropdownHover
