Hello, Hamburger!

Sun May 10 2020

Installation

npm install hamburger-react

Size

When using one hamburger, ~1.5 KB will be added to your bundle (min + gzip).

Usage

Visit the website for full documentation, API and examples. A basic implementation looks as follows:

import Hamburger from 'hamburger-react';

const [isOpen, setOpen] = useState(false);

<Hamburger toggled={isOpen} toggle={setOpen} />

Or without providing your own state:

<Hamburger onToggle={toggled => ...} />

Yet another hamburger library?

Yes. Since the creation of these burgers in 2015 a lot of similar ones have appeared, with one or more of the following downsides:

• Animations that don't feel natural
• Transitions on expensive properties (jerky animations)
• No React support
• Size (additional dependencies besides React or no tree shaking)
• Not customizable, or too customizable (no sensible defaults)
• Doing too much

Accessibility

It is recommended to have a tap/click area of at least 48x48 pixels. Therefore, padding will be added around the icon to create a surface of exactly this size.

Keyboard interaction is provided with the enter key, and the icon element has the recommended accessibility attributes (such as role). You can use the label property to supply an ARIA label for the icon.

Support

The icons are hooks-based, and will work with React 16.8.0 ('the one with hooks') or higher.
