Cool jQuery Radial Menu with CSS3 Transforms and Transitions

A cool menu component that pops up an animated circular menu with rotation effects around a trigger button, powered by jQuery and CSS3 transitions & transforms.

How to use it:

1. Create a radial menu with a trigger button in your web page.

<div class="menu">
  <div class="btn trigger"> <span class="line"></span> </div>

  <div class="rotater">
    <div class="btn btn-icon"> Menu 1 </div>
  </div>

  <div class="rotater">
    <div class="btn btn-icon"> Menu 2 </div>
  </div>

  <div class="rotater">
    <div class="btn btn-icon"> Menu 3 </div>
  </div>

  ...

</div>

2. The core CSS/CSS3 styles for the radial menu.

.menu,
.menu .btn .fa,
.menu .btn.trigger .line {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  -webkit-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
  -ms-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
  transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
}

.menu {
  width: 5em;
  height: 5em;
}

.menu .btn {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  border-radius: 50%;
  background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.15);
  opacity: 0;
  z-index: -10;
  cursor: pointer;
  -webkit-transition: opacity 1s, z-index 0.3s, -webkit-transform 1s;
  transition: opacity 1s, z-index 0.3s, transform 1s;
  -webkit-transform: translateX(0);
  -ms-transform: translateX(0);
  transform: translateX(0);
}

.menu .btn .fa {
  font-size: 3em;
  -webkit-transition: color 0.3s;
  transition: color 0.3s;
}

.menu .btn:hover .fa { color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); }

.menu .btn.trigger {
  opacity: 1;
  z-index: 100;
  cursor: pointer;
  -webkit-transition: -webkit-transform 0.3s;
  transition: transform 0.3s;
}

.menu .btn.trigger:hover {
  -webkit-transform: scale(1.2);
  -ms-transform: scale(1.2);
  transform: scale(1.2);
}

.menu .btn.trigger:hover .line { background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); }

.menu .btn.trigger:hover .line:before,
.menu .btn.trigger:hover .line:after { background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); }

.menu .btn.trigger .line {
  width: 60%;
  height: 6px;
  background: #000;
  border-radius: 6px;
  -webkit-transition: background-color 0.3s, height 0.3s, top 0.3s;
  transition: background-color 0.3s, height 0.3s, top 0.3s;
}

.menu .btn.trigger .line:before,
.menu .btn.trigger .line:after {
  content: "";
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 6px;
  background: #000;
  border-radius: 6px;
  -webkit-transition: background-color 0.3s, -webkit-transform 0.3s;
  transition: background-color 0.3s, transform 0.3s;
}

.menu .btn.trigger .line:before {
  top: -12px;
  -webkit-transform-origin: 15% 100%;
  -ms-transform-origin: 15% 100%;
  transform-origin: 15% 100%;
}

.menu .btn.trigger .line:after {
  top: 12px;
  -webkit-transform-origin: 25% 30%;
  -ms-transform-origin: 25% 30%;
  transform-origin: 25% 30%;
}

.menu .rotater {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  -webkit-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
  -ms-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
  transform-origin: 50% 50%;
}

.menu.active .btn-icon {
  opacity: 1;
  z-index: 50;
}

.menu.active .trigger .line {
  height: 0px;
  top: 45%;
}

.menu.active .trigger .line:before {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
  transform: rotate(45deg);
  width: 110%;
}

.menu.active .trigger .line:after {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(-45deg);
  transform: rotate(-45deg);
  width: 110%;
}

3. Custom the rotation effects for each menu item in your CSS.

.rotater:nth-child(1) {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-22.5deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(-22.5deg);
  transform: rotate(-22.5deg);
}

.menu.active .rotater:nth-child(1) .btn-icon {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(22.5deg);
  -ms-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(22.5deg);
  transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(22.5deg);
}

.rotater:nth-child(2) {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(22.5deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(22.5deg);
  transform: rotate(22.5deg);
}

.menu.active .rotater:nth-child(2) .btn-icon {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-22.5deg);
  -ms-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-22.5deg);
  transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-22.5deg);
}

.rotater:nth-child(3) {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(67.5deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(67.5deg);
  transform: rotate(67.5deg);
}

.menu.active .rotater:nth-child(3) .btn-icon {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-67.5deg);
  -ms-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-67.5deg);
  transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-67.5deg);
}

.rotater:nth-child(4) {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(112.5deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(112.5deg);
  transform: rotate(112.5deg);
}

.menu.active .rotater:nth-child(4) .btn-icon {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-112.5deg);
  -ms-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-112.5deg);
  transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-112.5deg);
}

.rotater:nth-child(5) {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(157.5deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(157.5deg);
  transform: rotate(157.5deg);
}

.menu.active .rotater:nth-child(5) .btn-icon {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-157.5deg);
  -ms-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-157.5deg);
  transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-157.5deg);
}

.rotater:nth-child(6) {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(202.5deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(202.5deg);
  transform: rotate(202.5deg);
}

.menu.active .rotater:nth-child(6) .btn-icon {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-202.5deg);
  -ms-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-202.5deg);
  transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-202.5deg);
}

.rotater:nth-child(7) {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(247.5deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(247.5deg);
  transform: rotate(247.5deg);
}

.menu.active .rotater:nth-child(7) .btn-icon {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-247.5deg);
  -ms-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-247.5deg);
  transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-247.5deg);
}

.rotater:nth-child(8) {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(292.5deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(292.5deg);
  transform: rotate(292.5deg);
}

.menu.active .rotater:nth-child(8) .btn-icon {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-292.5deg);
  -ms-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-292.5deg);
  transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-292.5deg);
}

.rotater:nth-child(9) {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(337.5deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(337.5deg);
  transform: rotate(337.5deg);
}

.menu.active .rotater:nth-child(9) .btn-icon {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-337.5deg);
  -ms-transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-337.5deg);
  transform: translateX(-10em) rotate(-337.5deg);
}

4. Include the necessary jQuery library at the bottom of your web page.

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> 

5. The jQuery script to active the radial menu.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".trigger").click(function() {
    $(".menu").toggleClass("active"); 
  });
});
