Previously we created a responsive layout with a Sidebar.
On a small screen we will hide the sidebar and display a dropdown mobile-only menu instead.
To make the user experience seamless, it will follow a few common practices:
- close dropdown by clicking Escape
- close dropdown if screen size is more than sm (768 px)
- hide
main
area and display ONLY dropdown on page - blur
main
- disable scrolling of
body
content
I also think that this lesson is a GREAT resource on understanding how StimulusJS works.
