I set up my navber using tailwind css and was able to make it responsive. When viewed on a smaller screen the navigation links are displayed underneath each other in a flex block kind of way. However when viewed in a mobile viewport the navigation links are showing by default. Implimented a button that can be clicked to show and hide it but how can I use javascript to actually write the code for that to work? Here is a snippet of my code:

<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
<!--Navbar-->
    <nav id="navbar" >
      <div >
        <img  src="images/Logo.svg" alt="Logo" width="20">
        <span >First Last</span>
      </div>
      <div >
        <button >
          <svg  viewBox="0 0 20 20" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><title>Menu</title><path d="M0 3h20v2H0V3zm0 6h20v2H0V9zm0 6h20v2H0v-2z"/></svg>
        </button>
      </div>
      <div >
        <div >
          <a href="#school" >About</a>
          <a href="#skills" >Skills</a>
          <a href="#projects" >Projects</a>
          <a href="#experience" >Experience</a>
        </div>
      </div>
    </nav>

CodePudding user response：

• Change block md:flex to hidden md:flex which will hide the menu on mobile screens.
• You can then use Element.classList.toggle to toggle the hidden class when the button is clicked on mobile screens.

Try this

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){
    let menu = document.getElementById('navbar-menu');

    document.getElementById('navbar-toggler').addEventListener('click', event => {
        menu.classList.toggle('hidden')
    })
})

<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
<!--Navbar-->
<nav id="navbar" >
    <div >
        <img  src="images/Logo.svg" alt="Logo" width="20">
        <span >First Last</span>
    </div>
    <div >
        <button  id="navbar-toggler">
            <svg  viewBox="0 0 20 20" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><title>Menu</title><path d="M0 3h20v2H0V3zm0 6h20v2H0V9zm0 6h20v2H0v-2z"/></svg>
        </button>
    </div>
    <div  id="navbar-menu">
        <div >
            <a href="#school" >About</a>
            <a href="#skills" >Skills</a>
            <a href="#projects" >Projects</a>
            <a href="#experience" >Experience</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</nav>

You can use Javascript to select the element by its id and add or remove classes/styles to achieve the toggle effect.

ex:

const navbar = document.querySelector("#navbar");
if (navbar.classList.contains("something"){
   someelement.style.display = "none";
   anotherElement.style.display = "block";
   navbar.classList.add("someClass");
}

Here is an example codepen for the same. https://codepen.io/ljc-dev/pen/MWoRayy
