Extract method in Yii bootstrap

[bryglen]

https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/extensions/bootstrap/Nav.php#L173

can we extract the Dropdown::widget() into another function

I want to achieve is this

$items = Dropdown::widget([
    'options' => ArrayHelper::getValue($item, 'dropdownOptions'),
    'items' => $items,
    'encodeLabels' => $this->encodeLabels,
    'clientOptions' => false,
    'view' => $this->getView(),
 ]);

I want to add a customize class on the dropdown widget, I am subclassing the Nav class but I need to copy and paste the whole function of renderItem(), we can create method such as renderSubitem()

I just did the same by subclassing Nav, but for me the problem was in Dropdown widget, line 97 where method $this->renderItems() is called, but return value is not assigned to any variable.

@qiangxue see this opened PR: #4346
The issue is similar.

@qiangxue is it possible to pass the 2nd parameter for parent information? I need to access something on parent item

[bryglen]

For example

I need to add additional options on dropdown wrapper but it's not possible because it was only pass the items

$items = Dropdown::widget([
    'options' => ArrayHelper::getValue($parent, 'dropdownOptions'),
    'items' => $items,
    'encodeLabels' => $this->encodeLabels,
    'clientOptions' => false,
    'view' => $this->getView(),
 ]);

my View code is like tihs

'options' => ['class' => 'nav ace-nav'],
'encodeLabels' => false,
'items' => [
      [
              'label' => '<span class="user-info"><small>Welcome,</small>' . Yii::$app->user->identity->last_name  . '</span>',
              'options' => [
                        'class' => 'light-blue',
              ],
              'dropdownOptions' => [
                        'class' => 'user-menu dropdown-menu-right dropdown-menu dropdown-yellow dropdown-caret dropdown-closer'
              ],
               'items' => [
                         [
                                        'label' => '<i class="ace-icon fa fa-power-off"></i> Logout',
                                        'url' => ['/site/logout'],
                        ],
                ]
     ]
],

A best use case is if you have multiple dropdown on navbar and each dropdown has different set of class. in my case I am using user-menu settings-menu notification-menu per each dropdown, that's why I need parent information on the renderDropDown() method
