Changes Made to the UI:
- JSX Updates (Nav.jsx):
- Added Hamburger Menu:
- Introduced a useState hook (isOpen, setIsOpen) to manage the toggle state of the hamburger menu.
- Added a button with class hamburger containing three span elements (class bar) to create the hamburger icon.
- Implemented a toggleMenu function to toggle the isOpen state when the hamburger button is clicked.
- Updated Nav Links:
- Wrapped the links in a nav-links div with a conditional open class to control visibility based on isOpen.
- Added onClick={() => setIsOpen(false)} to each <Link> to close the menu when a link is clicked, improving mobile usability.
- Maintained Functionality:
- Kept the conditional rendering logic for links based on token and role unchanged to preserve existing behavior.
- Added Hamburger Menu:
- CSS Updates (App.css):
- Hamburger Menu Styling:
- Added .hamburger styles to create a three-line icon (30px wide, 20px tall) with white bars (background: #fff) and rounded edges (border-radius: 10px).
- Implemented animations for the hamburger icon when toggled:
- First bar rotates 45 degrees and translates (transform: rotate(45deg) translate(5px, 5px)).
- Second bar fades out (opacity: 0).
- Third bar rotates -45 degrees and translates (transform: rotate(-45deg) translate(7px, -7px)).
- Set display: none for the hamburger button by default, shown only on screens smaller than 768px.
- Navigation Links:
- Updated .nav-links to display as a flex row with a 2rem gap by default.
- On mobile (max-width: 768px), .nav-links is hidden (display: none) unless the .open class is applied (display: flex), making it a dropdown menu.
- Positioned the dropdown menu absolutely below the nav bar (top: 100%, left: 0, right: 0) with a semi-transparent background (rgba(18, 18, 18, 0.95)) and rounded bottom corners.
- Links are full-width and centered on mobile for better touch interaction.
- Navigation Container:
- Adjusted .nav-content to use justify-content: space-between to position the hamburger button and links appropriately.
- Added max-width: 1200px and margin: 0 auto to center the content and limit its width on large screens.
- Responsive Design:
- Changed the media query breakpoint to 768px (from 600px) to better suit typical mobile/tablet sizes for the hamburger menu.
- Ensured the dropdown menu has a shadow and rounded corners for a polished look.
- Maintained the glassmorphic style (backdrop-filter: blur(10px)) and sticky positioning for the nav bar.
- Preserved Existing Styles:
- Kept all other styles (regcon, logcon, admin-con, home-con, etc.) unchanged to ensure consistency with Register.jsx, Home.jsx, and Admin.jsx.
- Retained the .nav-link and .nav-link.logout styles for consistent link appearance and hover effects.
- Hamburger Menu Styling:
Why These Changes:
- The hamburger menu provides a compact, user-friendly navigation solution for mobile devices, collapsing the links into a toggleable dropdown.
- The animated hamburger icon (transforming into an "X" when open) enhances the visual feedback for users.
- Closing the menu on link click improves mobile usability by avoiding an open menu after navigation.
- The updated breakpoint (768px) aligns with common responsive design practices, ensuring the hamburger menu appears on tablets and smaller screens.
- The styling maintains the glassmorphic aesthetic and integrates seamlessly with the existing design of the application.
