How To Build An Animated Hamburger Menu With Only CSS

[@beinyourguard]

the thing I like about kyle is that he just doesn't go for like something ordinary. he takes something that is somewhat easy to do to a whole new level, bringing scalability to the code itself

[@codedjango]

That's some serious CSS skills...

[@robmartin6159]

Awesome video. When the colors had to flip with focus-visible, the colors were hardcoded. If the colors in root were changed, the .hamburger-menu:has(input:checked) would use the old colors. I played around and discovered that in :root, a var defined can be used in another var. So I created a --light-color and --dark-color and used those for foreground and background. So changing those 2 vars will keep colors consistent. :root { --light-color: white; --dark-color: #333; --bar-width: 60px; --bar-height: 8px; --hamburger-gap: 6px; --foreground: var(--dark-color); --background: var(--light-color); --hamburger-margin: 8px; --animation-timing: 200ms; --hamburger-height: calc((var(--bar-height) * 3) + (var(--hamburger-gap) * 2)); } .hamburger-menu:has(input:checked) { --foreground: var(--light-color); --background: var(--dark-color); }

Great video, man! Still at the beginning of my coding, but I really liked this one using trigonometry. I'm coming from a machinist and machine programming background, and this was a really fun one for me.

[@mariejoannaantoniadi227]

I love you for ever. The calc for the animation didn't work quite as expected when I changed the --bar-width but I worked around it. Perfect, Perfect, Perfect. Many thanks for that.

Great tutorial, i love how you also explain so anyone can understand what you are doing!

Great video! And the way you explained everything was so easy to follow, thanks a lot! You've got a new subscriber :)

[@KennehGebra-cf9ds]

Thanks for making easy thing complicated

[@Zeero3846]

Glad to know how the transform actually works finally. I implemented a CSS only button a while back, but I had to go through a lot of guessing to figure how it worked because CSS devs didn't believe in variables for the longest time, so most of the examples used pre-calculated numbers with no explanation, which was exacerbated by the fact that the animation wasn't symmetric either. Also, the has() selector (and I think also the transform style) wasn't around when I implemented my button, so I'll probably take a second look at that and see if my company is already using capable browsers.

I can only say thank you! I learned so much by watching this video... superb content! god bless you and your fam!

[@davidallred991]

I recently had to do one of these for a front end mentor project. For me the actual hamburger menu was not very difficult, what was more complicated was working on the accessibility. Would love to see a video where this is done properly. Although you made a focus highlight on it, it is far from accessible for screen readers and needs a lot more work with aria-labels, changing aria-expanded status on open/close. etc. Would be great to see a video step by step with explanations on this because I found lots of videos on how to make the menu, but couldn't find many on making it properly accessible, so I am sure I didn't do it 100% correct.

[@keylanoslokj1806]

Accessibility>>> than just looks

[@Fooney1]

What % of users use a screen reader?

[@nbbhaskar3294]

​​@@Fooney1 in the USA, all public websites should comply with Americans with Disabilities Act, other wise you are exposing your business to potential law suites. So, you see it's not just about % of people using screen readers and other assistive technologies. I am not sure about other parts of the world though.

[@Fooney1]

@@nbbhaskar3294 I really doubt a US company has ever suffered a penalty under that act lol. In business it is about what % will use the thing you just paid for.

[@Fooney1]

@@nbbhaskar3294 I just looked into and surprising enough a law made in 1990 doesn't mention websites at all. That being said you could get sued in civil court but you cat get sued in civil court for anything. Laws and rights don't matter in civil court anyway so why bother?

[@theisoj]

Very great tutorial! Thanks Kyle!

[@Dj7wiLLY]

doesn't work, after I added the --x-width to .hamburger-menu::before and after, when I click on hamburger "icon", all the lines vanishes aside

[@gauravvarma3645]

I actually implemented this for work I was doing for a client, but the big issue here is that the checked state will persist after you click on the navigation links; the only way to reset the navigation menu is to use useState, or else it will stay stuck open when navigating which is not the best user experience. Interesting concept though!

[@PeterPan3713]

This is awesome! Thank you very much for sharing!

[@yevseldev]

Thank you so much. You saved me my job.

[@mariumbegum7325]

Very interesting tutorial - great work!

[@astacey84]

This Is The Sidebar very subtle, good job

[@MarkConstable]

I got all excited about this, but it doesn't work with Firefox, probably because of "Pseudo-elements are also not valid selectors within :has() and pseudo-elements are not valid anchors for :has()." from MDN. Any workarounds... aside from don't use Firefox?

[@ahmedbennani5401]

You have to put the (input) element outside and before the (label) element, and try (input:checked + .hamburger-menu::after) and (input:checked + .hamburger-menu::after) selectors instead, but you will have to add a div for the middle line of the hamburger since the input element won't play that role anymore.

[@joao-lucky]

great video, very simple and taught

[@guillermomazzari8320]

Thank you so much!

[@cbennder3877]

Top, works very well, Thank you Kyle

[@Tobi_Akin]

Thank you. I followed through but I was having issues with the animation and transitioning and i couldn't figure what the issue was

[@ivn9119]

you are the God of CSS .... great job 🙂

[@olipaype]

I learn a lot with this master class, but I tried to run on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave... in all works but firefox. Is there any compatibility with css selectors?

[@SoulSovereignty]

I think you forgot something. When someone selects a menu option, how do you make the menu disappear? If you are navigating to an entirely new page, then perhaps that "reset" is implicit. However, if you are simply scrolling downward to a section of the page...there needs to be a way to make the menu auto-disappear.

[@Fooney1]

Prefect timing.

[@eterr9000]

It doesn't work on Firefox and Android chrome?

[@Zeero3846]

So one thing I'm curious about is if the hamburger menu weren't up in the corner. What if it was below a header that could also change in size? Personally, I don't think it's ideal, but I may be stuck with it for the time being.

[@Ossielmx]

Thank's Kyle! ⛽ Creative code☕

[@NOTHING-en2ue]

you're great Kyle

[@TRIC4pitator]

omg , using a check box as an on off switch is so smart

[@vuongal1658]

Thank you so much🤩🤩

[@najmantube]

I used keyboard tabbing to focus the hamburger icon then pressed 'Enter': nothing happened. I then found out that in order to check a checkbox you have to press the spacebar instead. For screen readers you could put a message inside the label (e.g. Press the spacebar to open the menu) but keyboard users 1) don't necessarily use a screen reader, 2) aren't necessarily badly-sighted so how, other than having the same text printed on the screen, do we inform them of this unusual behaviour? I'm assuming that most people would think they're dealing with a button (which is toggleable using the 'Enter' key), not a checkbox.

[@brunosuperman]

Thank you!

[@SLC2010Charleston]

Works great. I would also like to turn on a transparent overlay across the page to prohibit a user from clicking on anything other than the menu. It is defined display "none" but the "has" selector doesn't seem to want to set the display property to block. Is there a limitation to "has"? .hamburger-menu:has(input:checked) + .overlaypage{ display:block; }

[@loverboy069]

Clicking on the hamburgur menu class or in my case, mobile-nav class doesn't check the box and setting pointer events to none stops me from toggling.

[@c1zztm450]

awesome! ty

[@renejacques8288]

Say I select a link from the sidebar, how can change its color or put a line under it so I can see what link is selected please? Great video.

[@vickrammark2082]

Hey Kyle this was an awesome viedo. I have a doubt how to make a div expand from right to left. I have been seeing different solutions for it but nothing satisifies me. Please do a shorts on it.

[@Infiniband11]

Did you work this out? Trying to do the same.

[@ALifeLivedFully]

Same lolll 😂

[@DJ66SXX]

.hamburger:has(input:checked) + .sidebar does not work, maybe there has been a CSS update from last year?

[@dheerajy2202]

Thanks Kyle

[@sonbui7063]

does the hamburger menu button and the menu list has to be in the same div class ? Cuz in my code the menu list and button are in different div class (the button is in the header class while the list is in the main class). And when i try the animation the list does not slide in as expected :)

[@arcanelore168]

It's like a lot to know!

[@jawad_youtube]

I needed this 1year ago

[@DeadGemini]

Just so you know, you can play with the --bar-width value until you just get an X without all the trig. As long as your X arms end up as long as the buns on the hamburger were they'll X without all the extra crap. You just need to play around with the --bar-width until you find the balance with your --bar-height and gap. MUCH easier and cleaner, you don't have to calculate the mf square root of 2 in there, but you are constrained on how big your X can be (by how long the hamburger buns are, lol) Try: width=66px, height=10px, gap=13px. This is how mine is set, and it X's perfectly from the hamburger with no extra variables and calculations

[@panka33]

what is that '*,' (asterisk+comma) at the very beginning of the CSS file? Cheers

[@TheMetalMag]

you rock! thx

[@patcollins1779]

Thanks Kyle. I'm a novice web designer and trying to learn. I've spent a few hours trying to adapt this to be a header or "top bar" rather than a side-bar and I am struggling. Can anyone suggest a straightforward way to put this hamburger menu at the top right in a header? Thank you so much!

[@meganlove5681]

I need help with the same thing. I managed to get the hamburger icon over to the right but can’t figure out how to get the sideabr over to the right. I put my logo, navigation, and the hamburger checkbox in the header. my logo is postioned to the left and that is ok.

[@ramsundararaman6615]

This is a cool lesson Kyle! Thank you very much. Any reason why whatever that's added to the html gets rendered below the fold? Maybe the sidebar should have a style that allows for the main content to display within the fold?

[@ramsundararaman6615]

Also, it doesn't seem to work in Firefox!
