I am having a play with a menu idea. I have very little JS knowlege so I want to know if what i am trying to achieve is doable.
I have been playing with a multibox menu from codrops this menu
From the looks of it the menu is designed to link to external pages, what I am trying to do is link to sections within the same page as I would look to build a one page site, so what I need is the menu to close when one of the menu links are clicked, as currently it just stays open.
I have tried to use the same "class" function from the close button in the links but this for some reason makes the close button disappear, not an effective solution.
I have looked at similar questions posted and tried to fix with previous answers but I'm having no luck.

allowTilt = action === 'open' ? false : true;
this.isAnimating = true;
// Toggling the open state class.
this.DOM.el.classList[action === 'open' ? 'add' : 'remove']('menu--open');
// After all is animated..
const animationEnd = (pos) => {
if ( pos === this.itemsTotal-1 ) {
this.isAnimating = false;
}
};I have tried to take this line of code and copy it from th JS file this.DOM.closeCtrl.addEventListener('click', () => this.close()); and change the closeCtrl and replace it with mainLinks however that didnt work and to be totally honest I have absolutely no idea what i'm doing.
I would imagine it's a fairly straightforward fix for someone that understands JS. Hopefully you can help. Thanks
