Tailwind Hamburger to X Menu Button Animation

Three bars become an ×: the top bar drops translate-y-2.5 and turns rotate-45, the middle one fades with scale-x-40, the bottom mirrors the top — all keyed off group-aria-expanded:. The menu wipes open with an animated clip-path, and the port fixes a real bug in the original: the collapsed links were still in the tab order. Now the closed nav is inert and Esc closes it.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Three [aria-expanded="true"] .bar:nth-child(n) rules became group-aria-expanded: utilities on each bar; calc(var(--gap) + 2px) became translate-y-2.5.
  • Bug fix: in the CSS original the clipped-away links were still focusable, so Tab walked into an invisible menu. The closed nav is now inert.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: Esc closes the menu and returns focus to the toggle, links grew to 48px rows with a trailing arrow, and the nav has an aria-label.

  const btn = document.getElementById('tcb-08-btn');
  if (!btn || btn.dataset.wired) return;
  btn.dataset.wired = '1';
  const nav = document.getElementById('tcb-08-nav');
  const set = (open) => {
    btn.setAttribute('aria-expanded', String(open));
    btn.setAttribute('aria-label', open ? 'Close menu' : 'Open menu');
    nav.toggleAttribute('data-open', open);
    nav.inert = !open;
  };
  set(false);
  btn.addEventListener('click', () => set(btn.getAttribute('aria-expanded') !== 'true'));
  document.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
    if (e.key === 'Escape' && btn.getAttribute('aria-expanded') === 'true') { set(false); btn.focus(); }
  });
})();
```

How this works

The travel distance is the gap plus the bar. Bars are 2px tall with an 8px gap, so the outer bars travel 10px — translate-y-2.5 — to meet the middle one before rotating:

bar 1: group-aria-expanded:translate-y-2.5 group-aria-expanded:rotate-45
bar 2: group-aria-expanded:opacity-0 group-aria-expanded:scale-x-40
bar 3: group-aria-expanded:-translate-y-2.5 group-aria-expanded:-rotate-45

Why the port needs no calc(). The CSS original computed calc(var(--gap) + 2px); in utilities the gap is gap-2 and the travel is its matching step, readable at a glance.

Make it yours

  • Thicker bars: h-[3px] and change travel to translate-y-[11px] (gap + bar height).
  • Arrow instead of ×: rotate only the outer bars ±40° and shorten them with scale-x-60.
  • Full-screen menu: replace the dropdown with a fixed inset-0 sheet — the toggle doesn't change.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • If you change the gap, change the translate: they must stay equal to gap + bar height or the × misaligns.
  • clip-path hides visually but not from assistive tech — that is why inert is required.
