const menu = document.querySelector(".menu-content");
const menuItems = document.querySelectorAll(".submenu-item");
const subMenuTitles = document.querySelectorAll(".submenu .menu-title");

sidebarClose.addEventListener("click", () => sidebar.classList.toggle("close"));

menuItems.forEach((item, index) => {
  item.addEventListener("click", () => {
    menu.classList.add("submenu-active");
    item.classList.add("show-submenu");
    menuItems.forEach((item2, index2) => {
      if (index !== index2) {
        item2.classList.remove("show-submenu");
      }
    });
  });
});

subMenuTitles.forEach((title) => {
  title.addEventListener("click", () => {
    menu.classList.remove("submenu-active");
  });
});

Today’s sidebar bar will be simple and very useful. The main feature of this sidebar is, that we can close it by clicking outside.

The sidebar Menu is the section that aligns the right or left side of the website and apps and helps users get redirected as they want. Generally, the sidebar is the transformation of the horizontal navigation menu that appears on small-width devices like tablets and mobile.

Have a quick look at the given image of our Side Navigation Menu Bar. As you can see on the preview of our sidebar menu, it is aligned on the left side. There is a logo name open/close button and some navigation links. Literally, according to my project, the sidebar is in the closed state and we will see a logo and open and close button. When we click on that open/close button then the sidebar will appear. Also, we can close the sidebar by clicking on the open/close button or outside of the sidebar.

Let’s watch the given video of our dashboard Sidebar Menu. By watching the given video tutorial, you will see the virtual demo of this Side Navigation Bar and all the HTML CSS, and JavaScript codes that I have used to create this beautiful sidebar menu.

When I clicked on the open/close button, the sidebar appeared by siding on the left side. When the sidebar opened the outside part of the sidebar turned a little dark and when I closed the sidebar then that dark part disappeared. Then when I opened the sidebar and clicked on the dark part the sidebar closed, then we knew that we can close the sidebar by clicking on those dark parts too.

For the UI and UX part of this sidebar, I have used HTML and CSS. And, to open and close the sidebar I have used some JavaScript. All the fonts are brought from the box icons website and the fonts are imported from the google fonts website as you have seen in the video tutorial.

Responsive Side Navigation Bar in HTML CSS & JavaScript

CodingNepal — Wed, 14 Apr 2021 21:10:09 +0000

Hello all of you, welcome to my other blog of Responsive Side Navigation Bar. Today in this blog will learn how to create a Responsive Sidebar Menu using HTML CSS and Javascript. I have been designing and writing several video tutorials and articles related to Responsive Navigation Menu using HTML and CSS, but today, we will also add JavaScript code.

A sidebar is the combination of various navigation links that align on the web page’s right or left side and helps to faster move from one web page to another to the users. The main purpose to create a sidebar is for small sizes screen devices like tablets, mobile.

There is only one difference between the side navigation bar and the navigation bar is, the navigation bar is a large screen size device like a laptop, computer, and side navigation from small sizes devices. Actually, we convert the navigation menu to the side navigation menu.

I have uploaded one image of the side navbar design that we are going to create. We can include or add various navigation links, logos,s and social media icons inside the sidebar. To make the sidebar fixed while scrolling we just add the following codes:

position: fixed;
left or right: 0px; (where you want to keep)
top: 0px;
height: 100vh;
width: as your need for example: 250px;

To see the real demo of this animated dashboard side navbar and all the code that I have used to create this type of sidebar, you need to watch the full video tutorial of this programming that I have given below.

At first, it is in closed form, and we can only see the logo icon, navigation link’s icon, and logout icon, but when I hovered that the navigation logo icon small tooltip appears smoothly at the right side of that icon which helps the user to identify the name of that nav links.

When I opened the sidebar the tooltip disappears and the nav the links’ background color appears, we can also see the logo name and profile image. Have you noticed we can open this sidebar by clicking on the toggle button and search icon?

This is the piece of cake for those who have basic knowledge of HTML CSS & JavaScript but for those friends who are feeling difficult to create this side navigation, I have provided free source code files below.
