<paper-menu-button>

paper-menu-button allows one to compose a designated "trigger" element with another element that represents "content", to create a dropdown menu that displays the "content" when the "trigger" is clicked.

The child element assigned to the dropdown-trigger slot will be used as the "trigger" element. The child element assigned to the dropdown-content slot will be used as the "content" element.

The paper-menu-button is sensitive to its content's iron-select events. If the "content" element triggers an iron-select event, the paper-menu-button will close automatically.

The following custom properties and mixins are also available for styling:
