Getting started

1. Download the zip file of the latest release from GitHub. You will find a js and a css file inside.

2. Include the css file at the top of your page in the head section: <link href="path/to/off-canvas-menu.css" rel="stylesheet" />

3. Place the script tag at the bottom of your page right before the closing body tag: <script src="path/to/off-canvas-menu.js"></script>

4. Create a navigation list for your off-canvas menu:

   <div class="off-canvas">
      <div class="off-canvas-header">
        <h4 class="off-canvas-title">Menu</h4>
        <div aria-label="Close">
          <div class="icon-close"></div>
        </div>
      </div>
   
      <div class="off-canvas-body">
        <nav class="off-canvas-nav">
          <div class="list-level-0">
            <div class="list-item">
              <a href="#" class="link-level-1"> Home </a>
            </div>
            <div class="list-item">
              <a href="#" class="link-level-1">
                Services <span class="link-arrow">›</span>
              </a>
            </div>
            <div class="list-level-1">
              <div class="list-item">
                <a href="#" class="link-level-2">
                  UX-Design <span class="link-arrow">›</span>
                </a>
              </div>
              <div class="list-level-2">
                <div class="list-item">
                  <a href="#" class="link-level-3"> Screendesign </a>
                </div>
                <div class="list-level-3"></div>
              </div>
              <div class="list-item">
                <a href="#" class="link-level-2"> Webdesign </a>
              </div>
              <div class="list-item">
                <a href="#" class="link-level-2"> Content Marketing </a>
              </div>
            </div>
            <div class="list-item">
              <a href="#" class="link-level-1">
                Team <span class="link-arrow">›</span>
              </a>
            </div>
            <div class="list-level-1">
              <div class="list-item">
                <a href="#" class="link-level-2"> John </a>
              </div>
              <div class="list-item">
                <a href="#" class="link-level-2"> Peter </a>
              </div>
              <div class="list-item">
                <a href="#" class="link-level-2"> Michael </a>
              </div>
            </div>
            <div class="list-item">
              <a href="#" class="link-level-1"> Contact </a>
            </div>
          </div>
        </nav>
      </div>
   </div>
   

5. Create a menu toggle:

   <aside class="icon-open-row">
      <div class="icon-open-container">
        <div class="icon-open-col-1">☰</div>
        <div class="icon-open-col-2">Open Menu</div>
      </div>
   </aside>
