How to create Hamburger Menu for mobile devices ?

Last Updated : 17 Jan, 2023

In this article, we will create a Hamburger Menu for mobile devices.

The hamburger button is the button placed on the top corner of the web page user interface. The hamburger button toggles the navigation menu bar on the screen. The icon which is associated with this widget, consisting of three horizontal bars, is also known as the collapsed menu icon.

Hamburger Menu using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for mobile devices: We will write all HTML and CSS of our own and add some JavaScript to handle onclick events. The basic approach is to mark the visibility of the navigation bar as hidden. When a user clicks the icon, then JavaScript will remove the visibility from hidden.

HTML

<html lang="en">

                    <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> 
                </a> 
                <a href="#Home"> Geeks For Geeks </a>

</html>

CSS

.container { 
    max-width: 480px; 
    height: 500px; 
    background: #5555; 
    margin: auto; 
    border: 2px solid green; 
} 
  
.navbar { 
    background: white; 
    position: relative; 
} 
  
.links { 
    display: none; 
} 
  
.heading a:nth-child(2) { 
    color: green; 
    text-decoration: none; 
    font-size: 20px; 
    display: block; 
    padding: 7px; 
    margin-left: 150px; 
} 
  
.heading a i { 
    color: green; 
    padding: 10px; 
    display: block; 
    position: absolute; 
    left: 0; 
    top: 0; 
} 
  
.heading a i:hover { 
    background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); 
    color: rgb(255, 255, 255); 
} 
  
.links { 
    background-color: rgb(190, 196, 190); 
} 
  
.links a { 
    color: green; 
    padding: 5px 16px; 
    text-decoration: none; 
    font-size: 17px; 
    display: block; 
    text-align: center; 
    border-bottom: 1px solid white; 
} 
  
.links a:hover { 
    background-color: green; 
    color: white; 
}

Javascript

<script> 
    function gfgMenu() { 
        const GFG = document.querySelector('.links'); 
      
        if (GFG.style.display === "none") { 
            GFG.style.display = "block"; 
        } 
        else { 
            GFG.style.display = "none"; 
        } 
    } 
</script>
