What is Navkit-Navbar?

Navkit-Navbar is a JavaScript library that allows you to create a responsive and animated overlay menu for your website or web application. It's designed to be highly customizable, allowing you to tailor the menu to your specific needs and branding. The menu is built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, making it easy to integrate into your existing project.

Getting Started with Navkit-Navbar

To get started with Navkit-Navbar, you'll need to include the necessary files in your project. You can do this by adding the following code to your HTML file:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="navkit-navbar.min.css">
<script src="navkit-navbar.min.js"></script>

Make sure to replace the file paths with the actual locations of the Navkit-Navbar files in your project.

Setting Up the Menu

To set up the menu, you'll need to create a container element for the menu and add the necessary HTML structure. Here's an example of how you can set up the menu:

<nav id="navkit-navbar" class="navkit-navbar">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

In this example, we're creating a <nav> element with an ID of "navkit-navbar" and a class of "navkit-navbar". Inside the <nav> element, we're adding an unordered list (<ul>) with three list items (<li>). Each list item contains an anchor tag (<a>) with a link to a different page.

Customizing the Menu

Navkit-Navbar offers a wide range of customization options, allowing you to tailor the menu to your specific needs and branding. Here are some examples of how you can customize the menu:

• Colors: You can change the colors of the menu by adding custom CSS styles to the .navkit-navbar class.
• Fonts: You can change the font family and size of the menu by adding custom CSS styles to the .navkit-navbar class.
• Animations: You can customize the animation effects of the menu by adding custom CSS styles to the .navkit-navbar class.
• Layout: You can change the layout of the menu by adding custom CSS styles to the .navkit-navbar class.

Here's an example of how you can customize the menu colors:

.navkit-navbar {
  background-color: #333;
  color: #fff;
}

In this example, we're changing the background color of the menu to a dark gray color (#333) and the text color to white (#fff).

Activating the Menu

To activate the menu, you'll need to add a JavaScript event listener to the menu container element. Here's an example of how you can do this:

document.getElementById('navkit-navbar').addEventListener('click', function() {
  navkitNavbar.toggle();
});

In this example, we're adding an event listener to the menu container element (#navkit-navbar) that listens for a click event. When the menu is clicked, the toggle() method is called, which toggles the visibility of the menu.
