That is the code I used on the html page. The drop down appears. But once I click the link it goes to the destination but the menu does not close. It stays on dropdown.

How do I fix it?

I solved it by attaching an event listener to the navbar menu list items. Didn’t know how else to do it

  // Closes the Responsive Menu on Menu Item Click
  'click .navbar-collapse ul li a.toggle-navbar': function(event,template) {
    // is the menu visible
    if(template.$('#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1').is(':visible')) {
      // click the toggle button
      template.$('.menu-toggle:visible').click();
    }
  }
