Skip to main content

Loop through dropdown menu items to add class to next sibling in vanilla JS

I am learning JavaScript and am trying to wrap my head around creating a nav megamenu. Basically, each button has a div after it that contains the megamenu content. Hovering OR clicking on the button adds a class to the dropdown (I could also use a show/hide within the JS, not sure which is better). The class adds opacity and visibility to the div.

I've created a "container" variable so it's only listening within the navbar, and then looping through the buttons to add the listener with nextElementSibling, but I can't seem to get it working.

Markup:

<nav id="main-nav">
    <div class="nav-content">
        
        <div class="nav-item">
            <button class="nav-dropdown">Services</button>
            <div class="nav-submenu">
                (Links)
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="nav-item">
            <button class="nav-dropdown">Locations</button>
            <div class="nav-submenu">
                (Links)
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="nav-item">
            <button class="nav-dropdown">About Us</button>
            <div class="nav-submenu">
                (Links)
            </div>
        </div>
        
    </div>
</nav>

JS:

( function() {
    // initiating vars
    var desktop, mobile, container;

    // Breakpoints
    desktop = window.matchMedia("(min-width: 769px)");
    mobile = window.matchMedia("(max-width: 768px)");

    // Target only navbar
    container = document.getElementById( 'main-nav' ); 
    if ( ! container ) {
        return;
    }

    // Desktop dropdown click controls
    if (desktop.matches) {

        // only look for .nav-dropdown class
        const desktopParents = container.querySelectorAll(".nav-dropdown");

        // get each instance of .nav-dropdown
        for (const desktopParent of desktopParents) {
            
            // if a button is clicked, add class to that button's dropdown only
            document.addEventListener('click', function(event) {

                // getting correct dropdownby targeting next sibling of button (div.nav-submenu) 
                var dropdown = desktopParent.nextElementSibling;
                var desktopParent = desktopParent.contains(event.target);
            
                // adding and removing show dropdown class
                if (dropdown.classList.contains('nav-active')) {
                    dropdown.classList.remove('nav-active');
                
                } else {
                    dropdown.classList.add('nav-active');
                
                }
            });

        }

    }
    
}() );

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
