Step by step guide of creating an animated navigation bar:

So this time I have something interesting you can put this where your clients or visitors will land or landing page and it will create a navbar with JavaScript animation (This is optimized for desktop as well as for mobile). The first step is to add the broiler plate of HTML, you can add this from below.

Step 1

=> Add the Broiler plate of HTML 
              

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>animated navigation bar - Code With Bishal</title>

</head>

<!-- created by Code With Bishal - www.codewithbishal.com
-->

<body>

</body>

</html>

After adding the broiler plate of HTML add the below code to create a 3 horizontal-bar for our header/navbar.


<div id="ham">
  <div id='top'></div>
  <div id='middle'></div>
  <div id='bottom'></div>
</div>

Then add the header links : 


<div id="header">
<div class="card" style="width: 18rem;">
  <ul class="nav-item">
    <li class="nav-item">First Item</li>
    <li class="nav-item">Second Item</li>
    <li class="nav-item">Third Item</li>
  </ul>
</div>
</div>

Now, let's add the CSS or style to our HTML file and this will do the styling of our navbar. So our second step is to add the CSS file, you can copy the code from below

Step 2)

=> Add CSS (External or Internal)

If you are using External CSS then create a file

                
                    style.css

And add code :

                
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

If you want to use Internal CSS than add

                <style>   </style>

tag Between

                <head>   </head>
then add the CSS code between style tag or inside 
style.css


#ham {
  position: fixed;
  z-index: 5;
  top: 15px;
  left: 15px;
  cursor: pointer;
  transition: left 500ms ;
}

#ham div {
  width: 35px;
  height: 2px;
  margin-bottom: 8px;
  background-color: #008bfcc5;
  transition: 500ms;
}

This will style our hamburger menu, and add the below to give a hover effect when someone hovers over it.


#ham:hover > div {
  box-shadow: 0 0 1px #008bfcfa;
}

The below code will add style to the menu when it's in the active state,


#ham.active {
  left: 230px; 
}

#ham.active div {
  background-color: #343838;
}

#ham.active:hover > div { 
  box-shadow: 0 0 1px #343838; 
}

#ham.active #top {
  transform: translateY(10px) rotate(-135deg);
}

#ham.active #middle {
  transform: scale(0);
}

#ham.active #bottom {
  transform: translateY(-10px) rotate(-45deg);
}

Now, we have to style the header, the below code will do the work


  #header {
    position: fixed;
    z-index: 4;
    overflow: none;
    opacity: 0;
  }
  
  #header.active {
    transition: 3000ms;
    left: 0px;
    opacity: 1;
}

Now, to style items inside the header or nav links use the code from below


.nav-item{
  list-style: none;
  padding: 5%;
  font-size: 20px;
  font-weight: bold;
}

We have successfully added style to our header and now we can move on to our JavaScript
Step 3)

Add JavaScript (Internal or external)

If you are using an Internal script then add the JavaScript code (copy from below) in between :
                
                    <script>   </script>
and If you are using external JavaScript then create a file

                    app.js
and add :

        <script src="app.js"></script>
In your HTML file and add the below code inside the JS file to add the animation to the menu


var sidebar = document.querySelector('#header');
var sidebarBtn = document.querySelector('#ham');

sidebarBtn.addEventListener('click', function(event) {

if (this.classList.contains('active')) {
		this.classList.remove('active');
		sidebar.classList.remove('active');
} else {
		this.classList.add('active');
		sidebar.classList.add('active');
}
});

OR copy the code from below
