A CSS-only Hamburger Menu, aligned To The Right

How To Build a CSS-only Hamburger Menu In 2 Minutes

Hamburger menus are everywhere.

They can be built in many different ways. However, IMO, the best way to build anything reusable is to keep it simple and to the point.

Hence, a CSS-only hamburger menu.

The HTML is pretty straightforward, as given below:

<div class="hamburger-menu container-fluid">
    <div class="frontend-logo-container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-6">
                LOGO
            </div>
            
        </div>
    </div>

    <input id="menu__toggle" type="checkbox" />
    <label class="menu__btn" for="menu__toggle">
        <span></span>
    </label>

    <ul class="menu__box">
        <li><a class="menu__item" href="#">HOME</a></li>
        <li><a class="menu__item" href="#">ABOUT</a></li>
        <li><a class="menu__item" href="#">PRIVACY POLICY</a></li>
        <li><a class="menu__item" href="#">TERMS AND CONDITIONS</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

And so is the CSS.

.hamburger-menu{
    height: 76px;
    position: fixed;
    z-index: 8;
    background-color: #fff;
		}
		.frontend-logo-container .header-byline-container{
		font-size: 13px;
		}
		.frontend-logo-container .header-byline{
			align-self: center;
			text-align: right;
			padding-right: 8%;
		}
		.frontend-logo{
			max-height: 60px;
			padding: 10px 30px;
		}
		.hamburger-logo{
			max-height: 65px;
			padding: 10px 30px;
		}
		#menu__toggle {
			opacity: 0;
		  }
		  #menu__toggle:checked ~ .menu__btn > span {
			transform: rotate(45deg);

		  }
		  #menu__toggle:checked ~ .menu__btn > span::before {
			top: 0;
			transform: rotate(0);

		  }
		  #menu__toggle:checked ~ .menu__btn > span::after {
			top: 0;
			transform: rotate(90deg);
		  }
		  #menu__toggle:checked ~ .menu__box {
			visibility: visible;
			left: 78%;
		  }

		  .menu__btn {
			display: flex;
			align-items: center;
			position: fixed;
			top: 20px;
			left: 96%;

			width: 26px;
			height: 26px;

			cursor: pointer;
			z-index: 6;
		  }

		  .menu__btn > span,
		  .menu__btn > span::before,
		  .menu__btn > span::after {
			display: block;
			position: absolute;

			width: 100%;
			height: 2px;

			background-color: #616161;

			transition-duration: .25s;
		  }
		  .menu__btn > span::before {
			content: '';
			top: -8px;
		  }
		  .menu__btn > span::after {
			content: '';
			top: 8px;
		  }

		  .menu__box {
			display: grid !important;
			position: fixed;
			visibility: hidden;
			top: 0;
			left: 100%;
			width: 22%;
			height: 100%;
			margin: 0;
			/* padding: 80px 0; */
			padding-top: 80px;
			padding-right: 50px;
			padding-left: 0px;
			padding-bottom: 100%;
			list-style: none;
			z-index: 5;
			background-color: #ECEFF1;
			box-shadow: 1px 0px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, .2);
			transition-duration: .25s;
			line-height: 2.5em;
		  }

		  .menu__item {
			display: block;
			padding: 12px 24px;

			color: #333;
			text-align: right;
			font-family: 'vivotypeτ«Ç';
			font-size: 20px;
			font-weight: 600;
			text-decoration: none;
			transition-duration: .25s;
		  }
		  .menu__item:hover {
			background-color: #CFD8DC;
		  }

		  /* // Responsive Media Queries */
		@media (max-width: 840px) {
			.frontend-logo{
				padding: 10px;
			}
			.hamburger-menu{
				height: 60px;
			}
			.menu__btn{
				left: 90%;
			}
			.menu__box {
				position: unset;
				height: auto;
				width: 100%;
				padding-top: 80px;
				padding-right: 0;
				padding-left: 0;
				padding-bottom: 100%;
			}
			.menu__item{
				text-align: center;
			}
			.frontend-logo-container .header-byline{
				padding-right: 12%;
				padding-top: 1%;
			}
			.frontend-logo-container .header-byline-container{
				font-size: 10px;
			}

		}

The styling can always be improved to customize or/and make it better. This is based on the codepen here.

My implementation, along with other minor tweaks, makes the hamburger menu stick on the top right of the webpage whereas, the original implementation is that of a hamburger menu on the top left of the page.

You can download the complete hamburger menu from Github, here.
