<div class="hamburger">

</header>
Here, we have
header with the class of header which work as a container of our
navbar
nav with the class of navbar
a link with the class of nav-logo
ul with the class of nav-menu
inside the ul we have 4 lis with the class of nav-item
inside each nav-item we have a link with the class of nav-link
for our hamburger I have added a div with the class of hamburger and
inside which we have 3 spans with the class of bar
So this is the HTML that we need.
Now let's add the CSS reset
(Here we will import the font we need and add some basic CSS to reset all
the default styles.
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?
family=Roboto:ital,wght@0,500;1,400&display=swap');
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html {
font-size: 62.5%;
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
}
li {
list-style: none;
}
a{
text-decoration: none;
}
Now let's add styles to the elements
one by one,
header and navbar
.header{
border-bottom: 1px solid #E2E8F0;
}
.navbar {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
padding: 1rem 1.5rem;
}
hamburger styles
.hamburger {
display: none;
}
.bar {
display: block;
width: 25px;
height: 3px;
margin: 5px auto;
-webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
background-color: #101010;
}
basic styles for our other elements
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items.nav-menu {
: center;
}
.nav-item {
margin-left: 5rem;
}
.nav-link{
font-size: 1.6rem;
font-weight: 400;
color: #475569;
}
.nav-link:hover{
color: #482ff7;
}
.nav-logo {
font-size: 2.1rem;
font-weight: 500;
color: #482ff7;
}
After this, It should look like this,
But It's not responsive yet, so let's add
the media queries.
@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.nav-menu {
position: fixed;
left: -100%;
top: 5rem;
flex-direction: column;
background-color: #fff;
width: 100%;
border-radius: 10px;
text-align: center;
transition: 0.3s;
box-shadow:
0 10px 27px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
}
.nav-menu.active {
left: 0;
}
.nav-item {
margin: 2.5rem 0;
}
.hamburger {
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
}
What this media query does is, hides our nav-menu by setting position:
fixed; left: -100%; on it.
Also, we set our hamburger to display: block; so it's visible now.
We have also added an extra class that is .nav-menu.active which sets left:
0; on the nav-menu. Now we will have to add the javascript which will add
this active class on the nav-menu when we click our hamburger.
Let's add the javascript.
const hamburger = document.querySelector(".hamburger");
const navMenu = document.querySelector(".nav-menu");
hamburger.addEventListener("click", mobileMenu);
function mobileMenu() {
hamburger.classList.toggle("active");
navMenu.classList.toggle("active");
}
Here the function mobileMenu() also adds an active class on
our hamburger and our nav-menu which makes our mobile menu open. we
can use the active class on the hamburger to create that X animation when
we click on the hamburger. so let's do that now.
// Inside the Media Query.
.hamburger.active .bar:nth-child(2) {
opacity: 0;
}
.hamburger.active .bar:nth-child(1) {
transform: translateY(8px) rotate(45deg);
}
.hamburger.active .bar:nth-child(3) {
transform: translateY(-8px) rotate(-45deg);
}
It should look like this now,
But there is a catch, the hamburger menu
doesn't close when we click a link. So let's
add that now,
const navLink = document.querySelectorAll(".nav-link");
navLink.forEach(n => n.addEventListener("click", closeMenu));
function closeMenu() {
hamburger.classList.remove("active");
navMenu.classList.remove("active");
}
The closeMenu() function removes the active class from both the nav-
menu and the hamburger which makes our mobile menu close.
So that's it guys we built a responsive navbar and hamburger menu with
HTML CSS and javascript. Hope u liked it. Share this article. Thank you 😀
