How to close react-burger-menu when link click in a component?

[Koushik-Saha]

i want to close my sidebar menu when a link is click not outside or cross button click just link click then my sidebar menu automatically close itself. But problem is my link is under another component , Suppose my component <ShipForMe/> and my link is under <ShipForMe/> like <NavLink to="/dashboard/ship-for-me/my-request/pending">My Request</NavLink>

Sidebar.js

<div className="sidebar-wrap " id="outer-container">
                <div className="dashboard-menu rounded">
                    <ShipForMe/>
                    <MyWallet/>
                    <Profiles/>
                    <div className="sidebar-item ds-item">
                        <div className="sidebar-item__title">
                            <NavLink to="">VIP Center</NavLink>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div className="dashboard-responsive rounded">
                    <Menu pageWrapId={ "page-wrap" } outerContainerId={ "outer-container" } isOpen={false}>
                            <div id="page-wrap" style={{marginTop: '-25%'}}>
                                <ShipForMe handleUrl={handleUrl}/>
                                <MyWallet/>
                                <Profiles/>
                                <div className="sidebar-item ds-item">
                                    <div className="sidebar-item__title">
                                        <NavLink to="">VIP Center</NavLink>
                                    </div>
                                </div>
                            </div>
                    </Menu>
                </div>
            </div>

ShipForMe.js

<div className="ship-wrap ds-item">
         <div className="sidebar-item">
            <div className="sidebar-item__title">
               Ship for me
            </div>
            <ul className="sidebar-item__lists">
               <li>
                  <NavLink to="/dashboard/ship-for-me/my-request/pending">My Request</NavLink>
               </li>
               <li>
                  <NavLink to="/dashboard/ship-for-me/forwarding-parcel/abroad-to-bd">My Forwarding Parcel</NavLink>
               </li>
            </ul>
         </div>
      </div>

Note: isOpen{flase} is not working, it is only working when link is physical there.

Hey @Koushik-Saha,

You will need to manage the menu state externally, so you can update it as necessary on NavLink clicks.

Here is an example of how to do that using the isOpen prop: https://github.com/negomi/react-burger-menu/wiki/FAQ#i-want-to-control-the-open-state-programmatically-but-i-dont-understand-how-to-use-the-isopen-prop

[Koushik-Saha]

can you show a example using <NavLink

[negomi]

NavLink would be the a elements in that example. Just pass an onClick handler to them.

can i use 2nd example (react hooks) for my problem

[negomi]

Yes, they both demonstrate the same concepts, so you can use whichever you like.
