Hello friend, I hope you are doing awesome. Today I will show how to create a Sidebar Menu in HTML CSS and JavaScript with Dark Light Mode features. There are lots of Sidebar Menus that I have created but to date, I have not created a sidebar with dark and light mode features.
A sidebar is the combination of several navigation links aligned vertically at the left or right side of the web page. Sidebar helps users to get into the different webpage through the help of navigation links and they have open and close features.
Let’s have a look at the given image of our sidebar menu that I have given on the webpage. On the right side, we can see the light mode features of the sidebar and on the left side, we can see the dark mode of the sidebar. Actually, those image which has big width are the opened form of the sidebar, and those images that have small width that is the closed form of the sidebar.
Now we are going to watch the real demo of our sidebar how it looks like in the close form and open form and of course the day and night mode of this side navigation menu bar.
Sidebar Menu in HTML CSS & JavaScript | Dark/Light Mode
I have provided all the HTML CSS and JavaScript source code that I have used to create this beautiful sidebar menu. Before getting into the source code file, you need to know some basic points of this video tutorial.
As you have seen on the give video tutorial of the Side Navigation Menu Bar. At first, we have seen our sidebar is in closed form with a logo, an open and close icon, a navigation link’s icon, and a toggle button for the dark night mode, and we can open and close the dark light mode even side bar is in closed form. When I clicked on the button sidebar opens and another text was visible with beautiful animation. Have you noticed that we can open the sidebar by clicking on the search button?
All UI design of our sidebar is made by HTML and CSS, to open and close the sidebar and toggle the toggle button with changing the icon and text according to the sidebar mode, I have used some JavaScript code.
I hope now you can make this sidebar menu easily, if you are feeling difficulty creating this side navigation menu bar then you can take all HTML CSS, and JavaScript of this sidebar from below.
