How to use

Without NPM

• Download the file here and include the following <script> tag in the head of your html document.

• <script src='path/to/file/main.js' defer>

• Then for the links you want to have displayed as tabs add the class name menu-item-displayed
• For the links you want hidden under the hamburger icon add the class name menu-item-under-icon
• Example:

  <a class="menu-item-displayed" href="#">link 1</a>
  <a class="menu-item-displayed" href="#">link 2</a>
  <a class="menu-item-displayed" href="#">link 3</a>
  <a class="menu-item-under-icon" href="#">other link 1</a>
  <a class="menu-item-under-icon" href="#">other link 2</a>
  <a class="menu-item-under-icon" href="#">other link 3</a>

With NPM (preferred)

• Enter the following into the command line: npm i tab-style-mobile-menu

• There are three ways to use this module with NPM

  1. Without a module bundler: The steps are the same as without NPM except add the following script tag to the head of your html file: <script src='node_modules/tab-style-mobile-menu/dist/main.js' defer>

  2. With bundler nodes already added to html document: Simply add the following line to the import list of your index.js file: import 'tab-style-mobile-menu'

  3. If adding the links programmatically add the following line after appending your links: mobileMenu.addNavBar();

     Example:

  import { mobileMenu } from 'tab-style-mobile-menu'
  
  const link1 = document.createElement("a");
  link1.textContent = "link1";
  link1.classList = "menu-item-displayed";
  document.body.appendChild(link1);
  const link2 = document.createElement("a");
  link2.textContent = "link2";
  link2.classList = "menu-item-displayed";
  document.body.appendChild(link2);
  const link3 = document.createElement("a");
  link3.textContent = "link3";
  link3.classList = "menu-item-displayed";
  document.body.appendChild(link3);
  
  const otherLink1 = document.createElement("a");
  otherLink1.textContent = "otherLink1";
  otherLink1.classList = "menu-item-displayed";
  document.body.appendChild(otherLink1);
  const otherLink2 = document.createElement("a");
  otherLink2.textContent = "otherLink2";
  otherLink2.classList = "menu-item-displayed";
  document.body.appendChild(otherLink2);
  const otherLink3 = document.createElement("a");
  otherLink3.textContent = "otherLink3";
  otherLink3.classList = "menu-item-displayed";
  document.body.appendChild(otherLink3);
  
  mobileMenu.addNavBar();

• Note module will not remove and nav bars present. If this module is used more than once it could cause problems.
