wc-menu-button
A simple, animating side drawer built as a Web Component
Demo
Installation
You can integrate wc-menu-button via <script>
tag or via NPM.
Via <script>
tag
In the <head>
of your index.html put a script tag like this:
<script
type="module"
src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/+esm"
></script>
<!-- Or if you want the unminified version -->
<script
type="module"
src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/wc-menu-button.js"
></script>
Now you can use the wc-menu-button
element anywhere in your html, JSX, template, etc.
Via NPM
npm install wc-menu-button --save
And then you need to import the module before you can use it in your html/jsx/template:
import "wc-menu-button";
Web Component Browser Support

- Add this attribute to put the menu button in the "open" state.

/* Menu button color is set with CSS variable */
--wc-menu-button-color: #000000;
/* The default mouse cursor is used by default */
--wc-menu-button-cursor: default;
}
/* You only need to set the width, the height is calculated to maintain proportion */
wc-menu-button {
width: 37px;
}
/* Set to `1.0` if you do not want any hover opacity effect */
wc-menu-button:hover {
opacity: 0.75;

Contribute
This project is built with standard HTML/CSS/TS, no frameworks or special web-component compilers here (for maximum simplicity and minimum size). If you want to learn more about writing custom elements see MDN or this web fundamentals page.
The source for this web component is contained in wc-menu-button.js and example usage is in index.html. To debug/run the example you can just open index.html in a browser. For a hot-reload developer experience try using live server in vscode.
You will need the dev dependencies of this project installed to run the post-commit hooks.
npm install
