#139 Advanced Navbar Dropdown Menu

10/08/2023

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.
