1. Download and include the CSS in the of your site:
``html`
2. Add the base hamburger markup:
`html`
You can use
s if you insist, but they’re not accessible as a menu button.
`html
`3. Append the class name of the type of hamburger you’re craving:
`html
` Here’s the list of hamburger-type classes you can choose from:
`
hamburger--3dx
hamburger--3dx-r
hamburger--3dy
hamburger--3dy-r
hamburger--3dxy
hamburger--3dxy-r
hamburger--arrow
hamburger--arrow-r
hamburger--arrowalt
hamburger--arrowalt-r
hamburger--arrowturn
hamburger--arrowturn-r
hamburger--boring
hamburger--collapse
hamburger--collapse-r
hamburger--elastic
hamburger--elastic-r
hamburger--emphatic
hamburger--emphatic-r
hamburger--minus
hamburger--slider
hamburger--slider-r
hamburger--spin
hamburger--spin-r
hamburger--spring
hamburger--spring-r
hamburger--stand
hamburger--stand-r
hamburger--squeeze
hamburger--vortex
hamburger--vortex-r
` Note:
-r classes are reverse variants (e.g. hamburger--spin spins clockwise whereas hamburger--spin-r spins counterclockwise.4. Trigger the active state by appending class name
is-active:
`html
` Since the class name would have to be toggled via JavaScript and implementation would differ based on the context of how you plan on using the hamburger, I’m going to leave the rest up to you.
Sass
.scss source files are available if you use Sass as your CSS precompiler. It’s customizable and modular.1. Hamburgers is available on npm, yarn and Bower.
`
npm install hamburgers yarn add hamburgers
bower install css-hamburgers
` Also available as a Ruby gem to use within your Rails application—see below for more information.
Or to manually install it, download and unzip the source files, then copy the files from the
_sass/hamburgers directory into your project.2. Import the
hamburgers.scss file in your Sass manifest file:
`scss
@import "path/to/hamburgers";
`3. Customize your hamburger and/or remove any types you don’t want in
hamburgers.scss.
4. Compile your Sass*, and voila!\* Be sure to run the CSS through Autoprefixer since the Sass doesn’t account for vendor prefixes.
$3
1. Add Hamburgers to your Gemfile.
`
gem 'hamburgers'
`2. Run
bundle install.
3. Include Hamburgers by using Sass’s native @import**:
`scss
// application.scss
@import "hamburgers";
` \** More information on why Sass’s native
@import + why you should ditch Sprockets directives altogether.Customization
To override default settings, declare them before importing Hamburgers:
`scss
$hamburger-padding-x: 20px;
$hamburger-padding-y: 15px;
$hamburger-types : (collapse);@import "hamburgers";
`You can also create a separate file (e.g.
hamburgers-settings.scss) with those declarations, then import it before Hamburgers:`scss
@import "hamburgers-settings"
@import "hamburgers";
`Here is the full list of default settings (found in
_sass/hamburgers/hamburgers.scss);`scss
$hamburger-padding-x : 15px;
$hamburger-padding-y : 15px;
$hamburger-layer-width : 40px;
$hamburger-layer-height : 4px;
$hamburger-layer-spacing : 6px;
$hamburger-layer-color : #000;
$hamburger-layer-border-radius : 4px;
$hamburger-hover-opacity : 0.7;
$hamburger-active-layer-color : $hamburger-layer-color;
$hamburger-active-hover-opacity: $hamburger-hover-opacity;// To use CSS filters as the hover effect instead of opacity,
// set $hamburger-hover-use-filter as true and
// change the value of $hamburger-hover-filter accordingly.
$hamburger-hover-use-filter : false;
$hamburger-hover-filter : opacity(50%);
$hamburger-active-hover-filter: $hamburger-hover-filter;
// Remove or comment out the hamburger types you don’t want
// or need, so they get excluded from the compiled CSS.

ems or remsWanna work with
ems or rems instead of px? Just change all the px values to the unit of your choice. Note: Be consistent (all px or all ems), otherwise it may break—the math behind the customization will fail if it attempts to perform operations with values of different units.$3
Dig into
_base.scss or types/ and customize to your heart’s content. Fair warning: It‘s pretty delicate and may break, especially if you tweak the animations themselves.Accessibility
Hamburger menu icons can be useful in the right context, but they’re not the most accessible.
