Introduction to Bootstrap Left Menu

Bootstrap Left Menu is a Navigation Menu. We can open the left menu by clicking on three equals symbol and closing the menu by clicking on the cross mark. We can either add buttons or anchor tags in the left menu. Left Menu used to access the corresponding content immediately by clicking on a button or anchor tag. The left menu is nothing is mainly more useful with smaller screen devices because mobile screens cannot have the same space as in PCs. Instead of showing a navigation bar, smaller devices are shown with the left menu or right menu to access all the features like in PCs.

How does Left Menu work in Bootstrap?

This is working based on the below syntax.

Syntax:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="closeButton" onclick="closeLeftMenu()">&times;</a>
<span style="font-size: 30px; cursor: pointer" onclick="openLeftMenu()">☰open</span>
<script>
function openLeftMenu() {
document.getElementById("leftSideMenu").style.width = "255px";
}
function closeLeftMenu() {
document.getElementById("leftSideMenu").style.width = "0";
}
</script>
