Menu
Currently, the only way to open or close it is by clicking on the navbar-toggle button.
For navbars that never collapse, add the . navbar-expand class on the navbar. For navbars that always collapse, don't add any .
To create a collapsible navigation bar, use a button with class="navbar-toggler", data-toggle="collapse" and data-target="#thetarget" . Then wrap the navbar content (links, etc) inside a div element with class="collapse navbar-collapse" , followed by an id that matches the data-target of the button: "thetarget".
Very often, especially on small screens, you want to hide the navigation links and replace them with a button that should reveal them when clicked on. To create a collapsible navigation bar, use a button with class="navbar-toggler", data-bs-toggle="collapse" and data-bs-target="#thetarget" .
Update 2021 - Bootstrap 5 (beta)
Use javascript to add a click event listener on the menu items to close the Collapse navbar..
const navLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.nav-item')
const menuToggle = document.getElementById('navbarSupportedContent')
const bsCollapse = new bootstrap.Collapse(menuToggle)
navLinks.forEach((l) => {
l.addEventListener('click', () => { bsCollapse.toggle() })
})

Or, Use the data-bs-toggle and data-bs-target data attributes in the markup on each link to toggle the Collapse navbar...
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
<div class="container">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav me-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target=".navbar-collapse.show">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target=".navbar-collapse.show">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target=".navbar-collapse.show">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
<form class="d-flex my-2 my-lg-0">
<input class="form-control me-sm-2" type="search" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search">
<button class="btn btn-outline-success my-2 my-sm-0" type="submit">Search</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</nav>

Update 2019 - Bootstrap 4
The navbar has changed, but the "close after click" method is still the same:

BS4 demo data-toggle method
Bootstrap 3 (original answer)
You can add the collapse component to the links like this..
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#home" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse.show">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#about-us" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse.show">About</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#pricing" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse.show">Pricing</a>
</li>
</ul>
BS3 demo using 'data-toggle' method
Or, (perhaps a better way) use jQuery like this..
$('.navbar-nav>li>a').on('click', function(){
$('.navbar-collapse').collapse('hide');
});
BS3 demo using jQuery method
I am using ANGULAR and since it gave me problems the routerLink just add the data-toggle and target in the li tag.... or use jquery like "ZimSystem"
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse.show">
<a class="nav-link" routerLink="/inicio" routerLinkActive="active" >Inicio</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>You can call $.collapse('hide'); with an event handler on the links.
$('.nav-link').on('click',function() {
$('.navbar-collapse').collapse('hide');
});.navbar-toggler .icon-bar {
margin: 7px;
display: block;
width: 22px;
height: 1px;
background-color: #cccccc;
border-radius: 1px;

</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#about-us">About</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">

</li>
</ul>

</nav>With trying out above solutions, I was missing a solution for Dropdown toggles, so here you go! Also opens submenu items.
Maybe you have to tweak it a bit if your toggle class is different.
$('.navbar-nav li a').on('click', function(){
if(!$( this ).hasClass('dropdown-toggle')){
$('.navbar-collapse').collapse('hide');
}
});
this is the solution to close menu when click on anchor then apply this line in list item
data-target="#sidenav-collapse-main" data-toggle="collapse"
the real example that work for me is below
<li class="nav-item" data-target="#sidenav-collapse-main" data-
toggle="collapse" >
<a class="nav-link" routerLinkActive="active" routerLink="/admin/users">
<i class="ni ni-single-02 text-orange"></i> Users
</a>
</li>
The easiest way to do it using only Angular 2/4 template with no coding:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" aria-expanded="false">
<div class="container-wrapper">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" (click)="isCollapsed = !isCollapsed">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse no-transition" [attr.aria-expanded]="!isCollapsed" [ngClass]="{collapse: isCollapsed}">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav" (click)="isCollapsed = !isCollapsed">
<li [routerLinkActive]="['active']" [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{exact: true}"><a routerLink="/">Home</a></li>
<li [routerLinkActive]="['active']"><a routerLink="/about">About</a></li>
<li [routerLinkActive]="['active']"><a routerLink="/portfolio">Portfolio</a></li>
<li [routerLinkActive]="['active']"><a routerLink="/contacts">Contacts</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
I am using Angular 5 with Boostrap 4. It works for me in this way.
$(document).on('click', '.navbar-nav>li>a, .navbar-brand, .dropdown-menu>a', function (e) {
if ( $(e.target).is('a') && $(e.target).attr('class') != 'nav-link dropdown-toggle' ) {
$('.navbar-collapse').collapse('hide');
}
});
}<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-primary">
<a class="navbar-brand" [routerLink]="['/home']">FbShareTool</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarColor01" aria-controls="navbarColor01" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation" style="">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarColor01">
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li class="nav-item active" *ngIf="_myAuthService.isAuthenticated()">
<a class="nav-link" [routerLink]="['/dashboard']">Dashboard <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown" *ngIf="_myAuthService.isAuthenticated()">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdown" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Manage
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<a class="dropdown-item" [routerLink]="['/fbgroup']">Facebook Group</a>
<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Fetch Data</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav navbar-right navbar-right-link">
<li class="nav-item" *ngIf="!_myAuthService.isAuthenticated()" >
<a class="nav-link" (click)="logIn()">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item" *ngIf="_myAuthService.isAuthenticated()">
<a class="nav-link">{{ _myAuthService.userDetails.displayName }}</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item" *ngIf="_myAuthService.isAuthenticated() && _myAuthService.userDetails.photoURL">
<a>
<img [src]="_myAuthService.userDetails.photoURL" alt="profile-photo" class="img-fluid rounded" width="40px;">
</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item" *ngIf="_myAuthService.isAuthenticated()">
<a class="nav-link" (click)="logOut()">Logout</a>
</li>
