Tailwind + Headless UI: Close Mobile Menu after click or clickaway - tailwind-css

Question

I am using Tailwind + Headless UI to create a hamburger Menu bar on mobile to show the menu on click. But when I click on the menu it does not close automatically and creates a bad UX.
<Disclosure

Tried to add manually close on click but doesn't seem to work.

Answer 1

The trick is to wrap the links with <Disclosure.Button> </Disclosure.Button> and it will close automatically the panel.
See: https://headlessui.dev/react/disclosure#closing-disclosures-manually

Answer 2

Use can use the close prop from Disclose itself.
import it this way ({ open, close }) and use it
onClick={() => {
close();
}}

Answer 3

Try using Next.js Router's push function to navigate the user when the Disclosure.Button is clicked.
At the top of your component, call the useRouter hook:
const router = useRouter();
With that, you can modify your JSX by adding an onClick property where you then call router.push({path}) , like this:
{
navLinks.map((link) => (
<Disclosure.Button
as="a"
key={link.id}
onClick={() => {
router.push(`${link.href}`);
}}
>
{link.name}
</Disclosure.Button>
));
}
Using the Next.js router will navigate the user to the desired href while still allowing the Disclosure render prop to toggle from open to closed.
