Toggling Element Classes Programmatically
So I came across this one recently when building the mobile menu for my site where I needed to show or hide a menu when the menu button was clicked. My original solution was going to involve using add
and remove
to hide or show the menu however in doing so, I would need to check whether the hidden
class exists to know which one to call.
Instead, I came across the toggle
function which achieves the same thing but with less logic for me to implement as shown.
const button = document.getElementById('mobile-menu-toggle');
const menu = document.getElementById('mobile-menu');
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
menu.classList.toggle('hidden');
});
BTW, hidden
is a Tailwind class that is equivalent to display: none
.
