< sl-icon slot = "prefix" name = "telephone" > < / sl-icon >
< sl-dropdown slot = "suffix" placement = "bottom-end" hoist >
< sl-button slot = "trigger" caret type = "text" size = "small" > Home< / sl-button >
< sl-menu >
< sl-menu-item checked > Home< / sl-menu-item >
< sl-menu-item > Mobile< / sl-menu-item >
