Tutorial on how to create an animated sidebar menu

<div class="sidebar">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>

Step 3: Styling the sidebar menu
Next, create a new CSS file and name it styles.css. Link this file to your HTML document by adding the tag in the section.

In the CSS file, style the sidebar menu and its menu items. Set the width of the sidebar to 250px, and give it a background color and some padding. Style the list items with padding and a border-bottom to separate them.

.sidebar {
width: 250px;
height: 100%;
background: #333;
padding: 20px;
}

ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
}

li {
padding: 10px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #555;
}

li:last-child {
border-bottom: none;
}

Step 4: Adding the animation effect
To create the sliding animation for the sidebar menu, we will use JavaScript. Create a new JavaScript file and name it script.js. Link this file to your HTML document at the bottom of the tag.

Write a function in the JavaScript file to toggle a class on the sidebar element when a button is clicked. This class will control the animation of the sidebar menu sliding in and out.

const sidebar = document.querySelector('.sidebar');
const button = document.querySelector('.menu-button');

button.addEventListener('click', () => {
sidebar.classList.toggle('open');
});

Step 5: Adding a menu button
Inside the sidebar

<div class="sidebar">
<button class="menu-button">Menu</button>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>

.menu-button {
padding: 10px 20px;
background: #007bff;
color: #fff;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
}

.open {
transform: translateX(0);
}

.closed {
transform: translateX(-250px);
transition: transform 0.3s ease;
}
