Hey there! πŸ‘‹ 😊

In this post, I want to show you a left-side animated menu that I created recently.

Before we start, I would highly recommend you to check out runnable example for the solution on our website:

Final effect:

React β€” animated side menu example

Below I present you how to create this simple customized left-side menu that displays list of different kind of food πŸ’πŸ₯¦πŸŸ on click event.

In the solution, I’ve used a modern approach that involves the use of functional components and React hooks. In this case useState hook stores the state of my side menu, if it's visible or not.

There is also some styling in the example, which I recommend you carefully analyze and change as you want. You can also modify the runnable example here and create your own left-side animated menu with no need to use any additional tools. 😊

Practical example:
