How to hide my collapse bootstrap 3 navbar with click on body when, collapse is visible?

Question

I\'m making a WordPress website for agency where I will go work. I used Bootstrap 3.0, and I created a responsive menu.

How to hide menu when is collapsed and visible (

Answer 1

Here is another approach which is working for me.

My scenario: I want to hide the collapsible when I click anywhere outside of a form which contains a dropdownlist.

  $(document).ready(function(){
      //check if collapsible is shown
      $(".collapse").on('shown.bs.collapse', function(){
        //then check if there was a click
        $(document).click(function(event) {
          //exclude the click was on the form 
          if (!$(event.target).hasClass("input-default")) {
              //then hide it
              $(".collapse").collapse('hide');
          }
        });
      });
  });

Answer 2

This works. It will close the collapsed navbar when touched anywhere on the mobile touchscreen.

$(document).on('touchend', function (event) {
    var clickover = $(event.target);
    var $navbar = $(".navbar-collapse");               
    var _opened = $navbar.hasClass("in");
    if (_opened === true && !clickover.hasClass("navbar-toggle")) {      
        $navbar.collapse('hide');
    }
});

I think your best approach would be to do something in a mediaquery, or pherhaphs with js instead, check in bootstrap page which are the break points and use the one you are interested in.

You don't want to listen for the click all the time that is so wrong. you have to bind and unbind based on the navbar status. here is my navbar-colapse and it's id is 'z', and when it is open i will listen for clicks and when it's closed i don't listen anymore. i will put comment on the code:

    //CALLBACK AFTER NAVBAR-COLLAPSE OPEN
    $('#z').on('shown.bs.collapse', function () {
        // HERE WE BIND THE CLICK TO THE HANDLER FUNCTION
        $(document).bind( "click", handler );
    })
    //CALLBACK AFTER NAVBAR-COLLAPSE CLOSE
    $('#z').on('hidden.bs.collapse', function () {
        // SINCE THE NAVBAR IS CLOSED WE DONT NEED TO LISTEN FOR CLICKS           ANYMORE
        $(document).unbind( "click", handler );
    })
    //THIS IS THE FUNCTION THAT GET FIRED
    var handler = function() {
        //LISTEN FOR CLICKS
        $(document).click(function(event) {
            //HERE FORM-CONTROL IS MY SEARCH BOX IN THE NAV SO I DONT WANT TO CLOSE
            //THE NAVBAAR IF THEY CLICK ON FONT-CONTROL, BUT ANYTHING BESIDE THAT WE CLOSE THE NAVBAR
            if (!$(event.target).hasClass("form-control")) {
                $('#z').collapse('hide');
            }
        });
    };  

Also here is my nav-bar code :)

            <nav class="navbar navbar-default my-nav" data-spy="affix" id="nav" style="margin-bottom: 0">
            <div class="container-fluid">
                <div class="navbar-header">
                    <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#z" aria-expanded="false">
                        <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    </button>
                    <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">-</a>
                </div>

                <!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
                <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="z">
                    <div class="navbar-form navbar-left my-navbar-left" role="search">
                        <div class="form-group">
                          <input id="searchbar" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search for ads">
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right my-navbar-right">
                        <li><a class="tab-c tab-home"> <span class="text-to-icon">Posts</span> </a></li>
                    </ul>
                </div><!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
            </div><!-- /.container-fluid -->
        </nav>

Answer 5

Try This Example

<script type='text/javascript'>

    $(document).ready(function () {
        function CloseNav() {
            $(".navbar-collapse").stop().css({ 'height': '1px' }).removeClass('in').addClass("collapse");
            $(".navbar-toggle").stop().removeClass('collapsed');
        }

        $('html').click(function (event) {
            var clickover = $(event.target);
            var _opened = $(".navbar-collapse").hasClass("navbar-collapse in");
            if (_opened === true && !clickover.hasClass("navbar-toggle")) {
                CloseNav();
            }

        });
    });

</script>

Update

you can change the html selector to whatever selector you want, body (if you have enough height), wrapper or whatever. A clean fiddle example here
