Slide out hamburger menu

posted in CSS jQuery on March 28, 2014 - 2 Comments

It is known that the slide out menus ( or hamburger menus ) are the best way of making a menu usable for mobile.

This method uses jQuery in order to clone the markup of the desktop version menu, and make it slide out. Check out the demo.

<body>
	<div id="container">
		<div id="header">
			<div id="navigation">
				<ul>
					<li>
						<a href="#">Lorem Ipsum</a>
					</li>
					<li>
						<a href="#">Lorem Ipsum</a>
					</li>
				</ul>
			</div>
			<span id="toggle-menu">Menu</span>
		</div>
	</div>
</body>

$('#navigation').clone().prependTo('body').addClass('mobile-navigation').removeAttr('id');
$('div.mobile-navigation').prepend('<span class="close">Close</span>');

$('#toggle-menu').bind('click touch', function(){
	if( $('div.mobile-navigation').hasClass('open') ){
		$('div.mobile-navigation').animate({width: "0px"}, 300).removeClass('open');
		$('#container').animate({left: "0px"}, 300);
	} else {
		$('div.mobile-navigation').animate({width: "210px"}, 300).addClass('open');
		$('#container').animate({left: "-210px"}, 300);
	}
});

$('div.mobile-navigation span.close').bind('click touch', function(){
	$('div.mobile-navigation').animate({width: "0px"}, 300).removeClass('open');
	$('#container').animate({left: "0px"}, 300);
});

#container {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
}

.mobile-navigation {
  width: 0;
  height: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: fixed;
  right: 0;
  top: 0;
  z-index: 200;
}
