<button class="subnav-toggle">element that enables visibility of the submenus - makes use of the
open-mobileclass to toggle submenus via theclickhandler
On the desktop
- hides mobile specific elements and changes event behavior to mouse hover
- opens submenus on
mouseenter, by addingopenandopen-positionclasses to the menu item, in rapid succession - hides submenus on
mouseleave, by removing the above classes in a delayed succesion

pnpm install -D @thednp/navbaryarn add -D @thednp/navbarnpm install -D @thednp/navbardeno add -D npm:@thednp/navbar@latestDownload the latest package. unpack and inspect the contents. You need to copy the navbar.js and navbar.css or their minified variations to your app assets folders as follows.
Link the required CSS in your document <head> tag
<link href="../assets/css/navbar.css" rel="stylesheet">Link the required JS in your document <body> tag, though it should work in the <head> as well
<script src="../assets/js/navbar.js"></script>Initiate the function for your elements at the end of your <body> tag
<script>
var myMenu = new Navbar('selector');
</script>To use the DATA-API, you need to provide the data-function="navbar" attribute to your navbar, like so:
<nav class="navbar" data-function="navbar">
<a href="#" title="App Name">Brand Name</a>
<button class="navbar-toggle">
<i class="menu-icon"></i>
</button>
<div>
<ul class="nav">
<li><a href="#">Link Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Another Link Title</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>Alternatively you can use only the menu itself and use the specific attribute:
<div class="sidebar">
<ul class="nav" data-function="navbar">
<li><a href="#">Link Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Another Link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>Other initialization and markup options apply, explained in the demo.
