If you want to create a simple and elegant dropdown menu in React with Tailwind CSS in two minutes, you’re in the right spot! In this post, we’ll create a dropdown menu using Tailwind’s group-hover class, and the best part is that no React-hook or complicated state management is needed!

Note: I'm writing a short explanation here, but I’d love for you to read the full version on my Medium account. If you find it helpful, feel free to follow me on Medium! I will appreciate that a lot. 🙏🫶
