# JavaScript Components
This document details the format for JavaScript components in BookStack. This is a really simple class-based setup with a few helpers provided.
#### Defining a Component in JS
```js
class Dropdown {
setup() {
this.toggle = this.$refs.toggle;
this.menu = this.$refs.menu;
this.speed = parseInt(this.$opts.speed);
}
}
```
All usage of $refs, $manyRefs and $opts should be done at the top of the `setup` function so any requirements can be easily seen.
#### Using a Component in HTML
A component is used like so:
```html
<div component="dropdown"></div>
<!-- or, for multiple -->
<div components="dropdown image-picker"></div>
```
The names will be parsed and new component instance will be created if a matching name is found in the `components/index.js` componentMapping.
#### Element References
Within a component you'll often need to refer to other element instances. This can be done like so:
```html
<div component="dropdown">
<span refs="dropdown@toggle othercomponent@handle">View more</span>
</div>
```
You can then access the span element as `this.$refs.toggle` in your component.
#### Component Options
```html
<div component="dropdown"
option:dropdown:delay="500"
option:dropdown:show>
</div>
```
Will result with `this.$opts` being:
```json
{
"delay": "500",
"show": ""
}
```
