How to make our own drop-down menu looks like bootstrap with HTML and CSS
1 Answer

14,207 PointsAccording to Bootstrap's documentation, their dropdown menus intentionally open on click instead of on hover and use the Popper.js library; https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/dropdowns/
So if you want the same effect without the rest of Bootstrap, adding Popper.js into your project is the way to go.
If you just want to get started with dropdowns using only CSS and no JS (and not necessarily the bootstrap way): a good place to start is by setting your dropdown menu's ul to display:none; then on :hover to display:block; . Then position the dropdown menus with position: absolute; and translate the element using top/bottom/left/right css properties.
