I have a dropdown that has different elements inside, among these there are more dropdowns and buttons.
Initially this dropdown (menu) only had dropdowns (sub-menus) inside it, with the following structure. It is from this post in its accepted answer, I simply changed names and added or removed sub-menus based on my data.
$('.dropdown-menu a.dropdown-toggle').on('click', function(e) {
if (!$(this).next().hasClass('show')) {
$(this).parents('.dropdown-menu').first().find('.show').removeClass('show');
}
var $subMenu = $(this).next('.dropdown-menu');
$subMenu.toggleClass('show');
$(this).parents('li.nav-item.dropdown.show').on('hidden.bs.dropdown', function(e) {
$('.dropdown-submenu .show').removeClass('show');
});
return false;
});.dropdown-submenu {
position: relative;
}
.dropdown-submenu a::after {
transform: rotate(-90deg);
position: absolute;
right: 6px;
top: .8em;
}
.dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu {
top: 0;
left: 100%;
margin-left: .1rem;
margin-right: .1rem;

</nav>The good thing that this code provides is that clicking on the sub-menu does not close everything, on the contrary, it opens the desired submenu.
The problem is that the links inside the dropdown, close it. And I need change this.
Reading in other posts I have seen that perhaps I should use .stopPropagation(), but the problem is that if I do that, the links no longer execute the subsequent functions that make said filtering.
I have thought about putting one more conditional in which it looks for a specific class that will give these special links that are not to be closed, for example class = "filters-drop" and here apply the .stopPropagation() but I don't It works and also breaks what was previously achieved.
$('.dropdown-menu a.dropdown-toggle').on('click', function(e) {
if (!$(this).next().hasClass('show')) {
$(this).parents('.dropdown-menu').first().find('.show').removeClass('show');
}
var $subMenu = $(this).next('.dropdown-menu');
$subMenu.toggleClass('show');
$(this).parents('li.nav-item.dropdown.show').on('hidden.bs.dropdown', function(e) {
$('.dropdown-submenu .show').removeClass('show');
});
if ($(this).hasClass('filters-drop')) {
e.stopPropagation();
}
return false;
});
Can someone help me please?
Thank you very much, greetings and health to all.
