bootstrap-vue multi level drop down

Question

I'm using BootstrapVue and I have a multi-level dropdown menu (with categories). This is an example from the official site:

https://bootstrap-vue.org/docs/components/dropdown

<b-dropdown id="dropdown-1" text="Dropdown Button" class="m-md-2">
  <b-dropdown-item>First Action</b-dropdown-item>
  <b-dropdown-item>Second Action</b-dropdown-item>
</b-dropdown>

But I don't know how to create a multi-level menu (I put dropdowns inside each other, but it doesn't work)! There's only a single-level dropdown example! How can I create a multi level one?

Thanks!

So as I mentioned in my comments you can wrap b-dropdown events and do something custom like this:

window.onload = () => {
  new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    data() {
      return {
        name: 'BootstrapVue',
        isDropdown2Visible: false
      }
    },
    mounted: function () {
      this.$root.$on('bv::dropdown::show', bvEvent => {
        if(bvEvent.componentId === 'dropdown-2') {
          this.isDropdown2Visible = true;
        }
        })
      this.$root.$on('bv::dropdown::hide', bvEvent => {
        if(bvEvent.componentId === 'dropdown-2') {
          this.isDropdown2Visible = false;
        }
        if(this.isDropdown2Visible) {
          bvEvent.preventDefault()
        }
        })
    }
  })
}

body { padding: 1rem; }
