Options introduction

The mmenu.js plugin provides a set of options for customizing your menu. The default values can be overridden by passing new values to the method.

<script>
    document.addEventListener(
        "DOMContentLoaded", () => {
            new Mmenu( "#my-menu", {
                // options
            });
        }
    );
</script>

Options are considered to be arbitrary and can be changed without breaking the plugin.

Note that add-ons might have their own set of options grouped in an object in the options.

Example

Give it a go, change the options below and see how it affects the menu.

  • Use sliding submenus. 
<script>
    document.addEventListener(
        "DOMContentLoaded", () => {

        }
    );
</script>
