Description:
The sidebar menu currently lacks a visual indicator to show whether it is open or closed. Adding a toggle icon to the menu button can improve user experience by providing immediate visual feedback. The feature will switch between a hamburger icon when the menu is closed and a close (X) icon when the menu is open.
We can use MUI (Material-UI) to implement this feature, utilizing the following component:
import CloseIcon from '@mui/icons-material/Close';
Screenshot:
Why is it Needed:
Enhanced Usability: Users can easily identify the state of the sidebar (open/closed).
Visual Feedback: Reduces confusion by providing immediate visual feedback during interaction.
Modern Design Practice: Aligns with UI/UX trends, improving consistency and intuitiveness.
Feature Scope:
Add Icon Toggle: Change the icon between a hamburger and close (X) icon based on the sidebar state.
Cross-Device Compatibility: Ensure seamless functionality across both desktop and mobile views.
Optional Animation: Add smooth transitions when toggling between icons for better user experience.
