Trendy Morphing Dropdown Menu With jQuery And CSS3

A trendy site navigation concept that morphs the hamburger button into a dropdown menu using jQuery and CSS3 animations.

How to use it:

1. Create the dropdown menu from a nav list.

<div class="nav">
  <div class="nav__content">
    <ul class="nav__list">
      <li class="nav__list-item active-nav"><a href="#" class="hover-target">Home</a></li>
      <li class="nav__list-item"><a href="#" class="hover-target">Portfolio</a></li>
      <li class="nav__list-item"><a href="#" class="hover-target">Studio</a></li>
      <li class="nav__list-item"><a href="#" class="hover-target">News</a></li>
      <li class="nav__list-item"><a href="#" class="hover-target">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>

2. Create the hamburger button.

<div class="nav-but-wrap">
  <div class="menu-icon hover-target">
    <span class="menu-icon__line menu-icon__line-left"></span>
    <span class="menu-icon__line"></span>
    <span class="menu-icon__line menu-icon__line-right"></span>
  </div>          
</div>

3. The necessary CSS/CSS3 styles for the hamburger button & dropdown menu.

4. Load the latest version of jQuery JavaScript library at the end of the document.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js" integrity="sha384-tsQFqpEReu7ZLhBV2VZlAu7zcOV+rXbYlF2cqB8txI/8aZajjp4Bqd+V6D5IgvKT" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

5. The necessary JavaScript (jQuery script) to activate the morphing dropdown menu.

var app = function () {
    var body = undefined;
    var menu = undefined;
    var menuItems = undefined;
    var init = function init() {
      body = document.querySelector('body');
      menu = document.querySelector('.menu-icon');
      menuItems = document.querySelectorAll('.nav__list-item');
      applyListeners();
    };
    var applyListeners = function applyListeners() {
      menu.addEventListener('click', function () {
        return toggleClass(body, 'nav-active');
      });
    };
    var toggleClass = function toggleClass(element, stringClass) {
      if (element.classList.contains(stringClass)) element.classList.remove(stringClass);else element.classList.add(stringClass);
    };
    init();
}();
