Hide menu sidebar when clicking outside the bar or the button

Question

I am trying to make a menu like the semantic UI but I only achieved to click the menu button and open the menu and vice versa. I use toggle class to show the sidebar but I dont know if this way is completely right:

<div class="menu-button" id="menu-button"></div>

$('#menu-button').click(function(event) {
     $('#hide-menu').toggleClass('show-menu');
});

.hide-menu {
    background-color:#336ca6;
    position: absolute;
    top:0;
    right:0;
    z-index: 1;
    width: 300px;
    height: 100%;
    -webkit-transform: translate3d(300px,0,0);
    -moz-transform: translate3d(300px,0,0);
    -o-transform: translate3d(300px,0,0);
    -ms-transform: translate3d(300px,0,0);
    transform: translate3d(300px,0,0);      
    -webkit-transition: all 0.3s linear;
    -moz-transition: all 0.3s linear;
    -ms-transition: all 0.3s linear;
    -o-transition: all 0.3s linear;
    transition: all 0.3s linear;
}

.show-menu {
    -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
    -moz-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
    -o-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
    -ms-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
    transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
 }  

I've tried the event propagation but I can't manage to make it play.

Answer 1

Edit your js code to following

$('#menu-button').click(function(e){
    e.stopPropagation();
    $('#hide-menu').toggleClass('show-menu');
});

$('#hide-menu').click(function(e){
    e.stopPropagation();
});

$('body,html').click(function(e){
   $('#hide-menu').removeClass('show-menu');
});

Hope this will work.

For a different take on it check this Fiddle

$('#menu-button').click(function (evt) {
    evt.stopPropagation();
    $('#hide-menu').toggleClass('show-menu');
});


$('body,html').click(function (e) {

    var container = $("#hide-menu");

    if (!container.is(e.target) && container.has(e.target).length === 0) {
        container.removeClass('show-menu');

    }
});
