I have a menu which opens up a submenu on click.
If a link has a dropdown menu (has class header--has-submenu), then on click, I'm making another element (.header__subContainer) appear.
The issue I'm having is with the logic. For example, in my demo, I have two links, what we deliver and about us, both have submenus.
I want a user to be able to click onto a link to open it and then click on the same link to close it (standard UX).
However, I also want the user to be able to click on one link (let's say 'what we deliver) and then click onto about usto show that menus dropdown (then the user can click theabout us` link again to close the menu).
I've tried toggleClass but this causes issues with the last scenario above.
Here's a demo:
$(".header--has-submenu a.header__parentLink").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log("click");
var id = $(this).attr('data-menu');
// add active state styles to link to showcase which menu is open
$("li.header--has-submenu").removeClass("header--has-submenu--active");
$(this).parent().addClass("header--has-submenu--active");
// open subContainer (black div that contains all submenus)
if ( $(".header__subContainer-menu").hasClass("header__subContainer-menu--active") ){
$(".header__subContainer").removeClass("header__subContainer--active");
} else {
$(".header__subContainer").addClass("header__subContainer--active");
}
// remove active class from submenu, so only one menu is open at one time
$(".header__subContainer-menu").removeClass("header__subContainer-menu--active");
// open the relevant menu
$(this).closest(".header__subContainer").addClass("header__subContainer--active");
$(".header__subContainer-menu[data-menu='"+id+"']").toggleClass("header__subContainer-menu--active");
});
.header {
padding: 30px 0;
}
.header__parentUl * {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
.header__li {
margin: 0 20px;
}
.header__subContainer {
display: none;
}
.header__subContainer--active {
display: block;
}
.header__subContainer-menu {
display: none;
}
.header__subContainer-menu--active {
display: block;
}
.header--has-submenu--active a {
color: green;
}
.background--black {
background: #000000;
}
.reset-list {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.color--white {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
