Simplify Dropdown widget usage about floem HOT 4 CLOSED

Widgets in Floem are highly composable. The current dropdown widget is built to not lock you into any required style. If it was any simpler there would be aspects of the widget that you couldn't control.

It might be a slight inconvenience to dial in the dropdown view just the way you want for a small project but once you've done it once you can just move that implementation to it's own function and reuse it. This is very practical even for small-medium projects.

An opinionated widget would awesome but that sort of thing belongs in a separate widgets/components crate that provides a consistent look across all widgets and can build on the un-opinionated widgets that Floem provides.

We also could provide our own opinionated widget but it wouldn't replace the un-opinionated one.

for example the user code is required to provide a chevron icon for it?

It's not required, as the directory name should suggest, it's an example, list works fine without an icon.

and implement the default look manually?

I'm unsure what do you refer to as default look (since the links you gave point only to the example code file), below example works just as fine and isn't complicated

pub fn dropdown_view() -> impl View {
    let show_dropdown = create_rw_signal(false);

    form::form({
        (form_item("Dropdown".to_string(), 120.0, move || {
            dropdown(
                move || Values::Three,
                move |item| label(move || item).any(),
                Values::iter(),
                |item| label(move || item).any(),
            )
            .show_list(move || show_dropdown.get())
            .on_accept(move |_val| show_dropdown.set(false))
        }),)
    })
}

Sorry guys closing the issue now, I didn't realize you can use simpler code than the one in the examples to create it, thank you for your awesome work on floem :)
