@alexerdei73/drop-down-menu

This is an npm package, which can be used to handle a drop down menu.

General Information

The HTML file of your page should contain a container element. This element must contain a div element and an unordered list, wich contains the menu points as list elements. When the user clicks the div element, the java script shows the menu points. When the user clicks again, the menu points disapear. The CSS stylesheet should contain the .show and .hide classes, which show and hide the list, when they are given to the class list of the list element. When the menu items are clicked, when they show, an event handler gets activated.

The javascript of the page should import the DropDownMenu class from this package. Then you make an instance of the object. The class has two parameters. The first is the container element, the second is the event handler function. Example usage is in the index.html and sample.js files. These files can be found in the node folder of your code, where the package downloaded.
