Creating a rotating navigation animation involves a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create a basic rotating navigation menu.

1. HTML Structure

Set up the basic HTML structure for your navigation menu.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.14.0/css/all.min.css" integrity="sha512-1PKOgIY59xJ8Co8+NE6FZ+LOAZKjy+KY8iq0G4B3CyeY6wYHN3yt9PW0XpSriVlkMXe40PTKnXrLnZ9+fkDaog==" crossorigin="anonymous" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <title>Rotating Navigation</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="circle-container">
        <div class="circle">
          <button id="close">
            <i class="fas fa-times"></i>
          </button>
          <button id="open">
            <i class="fas fa-bars"></i>
          </button>
        </div>
      </div>

      <div class="content">
        <h1>Amazing Article</h1>

      </div>
    </div>

    <nav>
      <ul>
        <li><i class="fas fa-home"></i><a href="#"> Home</a></li>
        <li><i class="fas fa-user-alt"></i><a href="#"> About</a></li>
        <li><i class="fas fa-envelope"></i><a href="#"> Contact</a></li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
    <script src="script.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

 

2. CSS Styling

Style your navigation menu and set up the rotation effect.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato&display=swap');

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
  background-color: #333;
  color: #222;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  margin: 0;
}

.container {
  background-color: #fafafa;
  transform-origin: top left;
  transition: transform 0.5s linear;
  width: 100vw;
  min-height: 100vh;
  padding: 50px;
}

.container.show-nav {
  transform: rotate(-20deg);
}

.circle-container {
  position: fixed;
  top: -100px;
  left: -100px;
}

.circle {
  background-color: #ff7979;
  height: 200px;
  width: 200px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  position: relative;
  transition: transform 0.5s linear;
}

.container.show-nav .circle {
  transform: rotate(-70deg);
}

.circle button {
  cursor: pointer;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  height: 100px;
  background: transparent;
  border: 0;
  font-size: 26px;
  color: #fff;
}

.circle button:focus {
  outline: none;
}

.circle button#open {
  left: 60%;
}

.circle button#close {
  top: 60%;
  transform: rotate(90deg);
  transform-origin: top left;
}

.container.show-nav + nav li {
  transform: translateX(0);
  transition-delay: 0.3s;
}

nav {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 40px;
  left: 0;
  z-index: 100;
}

nav ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  padding-left: 30px;
}

nav ul li {
  text-transform: uppercase;
  color: #fff;
  margin: 40px 0;
  transform: translateX(-100%);
  transition: transform 0.4s ease-in;
}

nav ul li i {
  font-size: 20px;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

nav ul li + li {
  margin-left: 15px;
  transform: translateX(-150%);
}

nav ul li + li + li {
  margin-left: 30px;
  transform: translateX(-200%);
}

nav a{
  color: #fafafa;
  text-decoration: none;
  transition: all 0.5s;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #FF7979;
  font-weight: bold;
}

.content img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

.content {
  max-width: 1000px;
  margin: 50px auto;
}

.content h1 {
  margin: 0;
}

.content small {
  color: #555;
  font-style: italic;
}

.content p {
  color: #333;
  line-height: 1.5;
}

 

3. JavaScript Functionality

Add JavaScript to handle the toggle functionality for the rotation.

const open = document.getElementById('open')
const close = document.getElementById('close')
const container = document.querySelector('.container')

open.addEventListener('click', () => container.classList.add('show-nav'))

close.addEventListener('click', () => container.classList.remove('show-nav'))

 

Putting It All Together

  1. HTML: The button element toggles the navigation menu, and the nav element contains the menu items.
  2. CSS: The nav is initially rotated by -90 degrees and transitions to 0 degrees when the open class is added, creating the rotation effect.
  3. JavaScript: The event listener on the button toggles the open class on the nav element.

Now, when you click the “Toggle Menu” button, the navigation menu will rotate into view. This is a simple example, and you can further enhance it by adding more styling and animations as needed.
