Topic: Auto collapse hamburger navigation menu after selection

Tim Jones pro asked 4 years ago


Question

Can the hamburger collapse action be triggered by click on menu item, so that link is rendered and hamburger menu is auto closed, rather than obscuring the page and requiring another click on the hamburger menu to close it again?

Expected behavior

Hamburger Menu showing as viewport restricted width

Hamburger Menu clicked

Revealed Menu item clicked

Navigation to link

Hamburger menu auto closes

Actual behavior

Hamburger Menu showing as viewport restricted width

Hamburger Menu clicked

Revealed Menu item clicked

Navigation to link

Hamburger menu remains open and requires to be clicked to be closed

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)

Existing code which displays "Actual Behaviour':

May you try this code?

  MDBCollapse,
  MDBContainer,
  MDBNavbar,
  MDBNavbarBrand,
  MDBNavbarNav,
  MDBNavbarToggler,
  MDBNavItem,
  MDBNavLink
} from "mdbreact";

import HomePage from "./HomePage";
import ServicesPage from "./ServicesPage";

class Main extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      collapse: false
    };
    this.onClick = this.onClick.bind(this);
  }

  toggleCollapse = () => {
    this.setState({ isOpen: !this.state.isOpen });
  };

  onClick() {
    this.setState({
      collapse: !this.state.collapse
    });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <header>
          <MDBNavbar
            style={{ backgroundColor: "rgba(100,150,200,0.5)" }}

            scrolling
            fixed={"top"}
