Closing mobile nav toggle on click

I have a mobile nav menu with a hamburger toggle that successfully opens the menu on click. I am also adding animation to the toggle button on click. I am using a backdrop to close the nav menu, but I also want to be able to close the menu when the toggle is clicked, and if the backdrop is clicked, for the toggle to animate when the menu is closing. Below is my code so far, any help would be greatly appreciated.
var backdrop = document.querySelector(".backdrop");
var toggleButton = document.querySelector(".toggle-container");
var mobileNav = document.querySelector(".mobile-nav");
backdrop.addEventListener("click", function() {
mobileNav.classList.remove("open");
closeMenu();
});
function closeMenu() {
if (toggleButton) {
mobileNav.classList.remove("open");
}
backdrop.classList.remove("open");
toggleButton.classList.remove("active");
}
toggleButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
mobileNav.classList.add("open");
toggleButton.classList.add("active");
backdrop.classList.add("open");
});
function toggleNav(x) {
x.classList.toggle("change");
}

I have cleaned-up the JS and made some changes to get it working. Namely, I moved the inline onClick to the event listener, and merged a few of the other functions to make it easier to understand (but feel free to separate these if needed).
The major change was to add the active and change classes to the toggleButton when open, and then remove the active and change classes when the backdrop is clicked.
var backdrop = document.querySelector(".backdrop");
var toggleButton = document.querySelector(".toggle-container");
var mobileNav = document.querySelector(".mobile-nav");
backdrop.addEventListener("click", function() {
mobileNav.classList.remove("open");
backdrop.classList.remove("open");
toggleButton.classList.remove("active", "change");
});
toggleButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
mobileNav.classList.add("open");
toggleButton.classList.add("active", "change");
backdrop.classList.add("open");
});

My hamburguer menu disappears when clicking on it's items

Recently I uploaded my website online on Github and it came out with some display problems.
I have an Hamburguer menu icon (.toggle - in my code) for widths less than 1210px. When I click in the icon it works fine, displaying the submenu with the items, but when I click in the home button the main page loses the menu icon. I don´t know why.
I've tested it previously before it became public, and it was working fine.
The same thing happens when I click on the a-tower or muda items and then backwards to home, again the icon disappears.
I have already tried to research about that error in specific but didn´t find one particularly similar.

Note: when I resize my browser in my desktop, when it gets smaller, between 870px and 560px the menu burguer stays on the right, and disappears during these dimensions periods.

I have checked your site, it's not a jquery issue. The hamburger icons disappear because of the logo property "flex".
Replace this CSS on your stylesheet, I will fix your issue.
.logo {
display: flex;
flex: 1;
}
when your hamburger menu appears, it's got CSS display: block property so it failed to counter the display: flex.
Let me know Please.

A couple things are going on here. First, some of the links are redirecting you to a new page, without the header code. Second, you have your first click event set up to respond to .toggle and .item. .item refers to your menu items, so you want to remove that target.
$(document).ready(() => {
$('.toggle').on('click', function() {
$('.toggle').toggleClass('active');
$('#menu-two').toggleClass('visible')
})
$('.active').on('click', function() {
$('.toggle').fadeToggle()
})
$('ul#menu-two > li > a').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
});
});
#media only screen and (max-width: 1210px) {
#menu-two {
display: block;

jQuery toggleClass fade works with one class, not with the other?

I want my i elements to lose the outline class on hover, but for some reason this is not working. The class is lost and added again instantly without a fade/delay. If I try this exact same code with a class of background then it does work. What am I not seeing here?
The second problem is that when I do try this with a background class, the background stays there for the duration of the fade (in this case 500ms) and then disappears instantly. This should also be a fade, like a fade out.
Thank you!
JSFiddle
$('nav a').hover(function(){
if (!$(this).find("i").hasClass("home")){
$(this).find('i').toggleClass('outline', 500);
}
})

.hover() can be passed 2 functions as arguments. The first is like .mouseover() and the second is the .mouseout()
$('nav a').hover(function() {
$(this).find('.home').removeClass('outline');
}, function() {
$('.home').addClass('outline');
})
Update
You can add fadein and fadeout effect without Javascript, only with css:
nav {
font-size: 20 px;
}
nav a {
padding-left: 30 px;
}
nav a i {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
nav a i.star: not(.outline) {
opacity: 0;
transition: opacity 300 ms ease;
}
nav a: hover.star: not(.outline) {
opacity: 1;
transition: opacity 300 ms ease;
}
Demo here.

With the help of [Radonirina Maminiaina][1]'s answer and some altering of the code by myself I made it work exactly as intended.
It was Radonirina's idea to put the second icon right behind the original icon by using position: absolute; (see his code above), but then I came up with the idea to add the class "dark" to the hidden icon underneath and simply select it to make the opacity 0, and 1 on hover, including the transition effect. This made the CSS a lot simpler and it works beautifully.
Thanks again!
Here is a working example of the end result:
$('.menu-toggle').click(function() {
$('nav').toggleClass('nav-open', 500);
$(this).toggleClass('open');

Create an animation from left to the middle

I need to create an animation which will make a menu appear from the left side of the screen. This animation should be started on a click on a button.
The content of the menu should recover 55% of the width of the main page.
JSFiddle Demo
In the previous link you can the the menu and the button to move left. At the beginning the menu (with the "link" elements) should be hidden and the button .glyhicon should be at the very left of the page.
On click on this button the menu and the button should move to the right and recover 55% of the main page.
The problem is I don't know how to do this. (I managed to move the menu by changing the structure but I couldn't move the button.)
Here is my HTML code
<div id="left-menu">
<div id="map-menu" class="test">
<nav class="menu_content">
<ul>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
<div id="icon-menu" class="test">
<button id="button_menu" class="js-menu menu" type="button">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-map-marker"></span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
CSS :
#left-menu {
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
}
#map-menu, #icon-menu {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.menu {
background: 0;
float: left;
margin: 2rem;
height: 2.7rem;
width: 3.5rem;
z-index: 2;
outline: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
}
.menu_content{
width: 60%;
height: 100%;
background: #eaeaea;
position: fixed;
-webkit-transform: translateX(-100%);
transform: translateX(-100%);
-webkit-transition: -webkit-transform 0.6s cubic-bezier(0.56, 0.1, 0.34, 0.91);
transition: -webkit-transform 0.6s cubic-bezier(0.56, 0.1, 0.34, 0.91);
transition: transform 0.6s cubic-bezier(0.56, 0.1, 0.34, 0.91);
transition: transform 0.6s cubic-bezier(0.56, 0.1, 0.34, 0.91), -webkit-transform 0.6s cubic-bezier(0.56, 0.1, 0.34, 0.91);
padding-top: 6.2rem;
z-index: 1;
}
.menu-open nav {
-webkit-transform: translateX(0);
transform: translateX(0);
}
.menu_content ul {
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
}
.menu_content ul li {
padding: 20px 5px;
font-size: 2rem;
}
.menu_content ul li:hover {
background: blue;
}
javascript :
var isActive = false;
$('.js-menu').on('click', function() {
if (isActive) {
$(this).removeClass('active');
$('#left_menu').removeClass('menu-open');
/*$('#button_menu').removeClass('move-right');
$('#button_menu').addClass('move-left');*/
} else {
$(this).addClass('active');
$('#left_menu').addClass('menu-open');
/*$('#button_menu').removeClass('move-left');
$('#button_menu').addClass('move-right');*/
}
isActive = !isActive;
});
Could you help me to adapt or redo the animation please ?

Here's a pure CSS solution without any javascript by making use of the :checked status of a hidden checkbox with display:none, the label for that checkbox should be outside the #left-menu element so it is possible to target it using ~:
JS Fiddle 1
#button_menu {
display: none;
}
.glyphicon {
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
display: inline-block;
background-image: url('https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/basic-ui-elements-round/700/06_menu_stack-2-128.png');
background-size: 100%;
position: fixed;
left: 5px;
top: 50%;
transition: all 1s;
cursor: pointer;
}
#left-menu {
background-color: orange;
position: fixed;
left: -100%;
width: 55%;
top: 50%;
transition: all 1s;
}
#button_menu:checked + .glyphicon {
left: 55%;
transition: all 1s;
}
#button_menu:checked ~ #left-menu {
left: 0;
transition: all 1s;
}
.menu_content ul {
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
}
.menu_content ul li {
padding: 20px 5px;
font-size: 2rem;
}
.menu_content ul li:hover {
background: blue;
}
<input type="checkbox" id="button_menu" class="js-menu">
<label for="button_menu" class="glyphicon"></label>
<div id="left-menu">
<div id="map-menu" class="test">
<nav class="menu_content">
<ul>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
and here's a simple jQuery solution, where basically we have a variable as a triggering flag toggleFlag, if its value is true the left value is 0, while if the triggering flag value is false then the left value is -55% -which is the menu width as the op said it takes 55% of the screen-, then we animate the .left-menu dependign on the left value, and we need to negate the value of the triggering flag.
JS Fiddle 2
var menuIcon = $('.glyphicon'),
leftMenu = $('#left-menu'),
toggleFlag = true;

There a couple things with your example and fiddle, to start it helps to have jquery loaded in the fiddle to mess around.
Next isActive is not only not defined but unnecessary
if (isActive) {
should be replaced by
if ($(this).hasClass('active')) {
and
isActive = !isActive;
can be removed completely
next you becareful with your underscores and hyphens
$('#left-menu') != $('#left_menu')
Please also wrap it all in a document ready so it can be attached when the page loads
$(document).ready(function () {
// code
});
so with the fixes you can have something like:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.js-menu').on('click', function() {
if ($(this).hasClass('active')) {
$(this).removeClass('active');
$('#left-menu').removeClass('menu-open');
} else {
$(this).addClass('active');
$('#left-menu').addClass('menu-open');
}
});
});
Now to move your button, the problem is you're adding the transform to the <nav> in the menu-open class with :
.menu-open nav {
-webkit-transform: translateX(0);
transform: translateX(0);
}
So one way to fix that would be to also add it to your button
.menu-open #icon-menu {
-webkit-transform: translateX(55%);
transform: translateX(55%);
}
OR
.menu-open .active {
-webkit-transform: translateX(55%);
transform: translateX(55%);
}
I'll leave you to do the slide animation and so on.
There's a couple ways to make it better than this but with what you have for now this'll probably help you get a start on it? Maybe?

Hiding a text when a sections width is set to 0

so I've had a bit of a problem with trying to make a section's width to 0 and have everything inside the object do the same thing. Essentially hide the section and everything inside it. Thing is, the section will change to a width of 0px but the text inside still displays and also sort of pushes off to the side. Is there any way that I can use either css or javascript to hide the text and bring it back when the sections width changes back over?
Code pasted into jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/t6ck9ajb/
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#about").click(function(){
if ($("#about-me").css("width") <= "0vw") {
$("#introduction").animate({width:"0vw"}, 500);
/*$("#intro").css("display","none");
$("#port").css("display","none");
$("#about").css("display","none"); */
}
else {
$("#introduction").animate({width:"0vw"});
}
});
});
This is what I have to attempt at hiding the text, but this didn't really hide it.

Here is a different approach:
$(function(){
$('#about').on('click', homeAboutToggle);
$('#home').on('click', homeAboutToggle);
});
function homeAboutToggle(){
$('#introduction').toggleClass('active');
$('#about-me').toggleClass('active');
}
* {
margin: 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px;
font-family: "Open Sans";
}
#container{
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
}
.full-page {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
background-color: #5085aa;
position: absolute;
float: left;
transition:all ease-in-out 400ms;
-webkit-transition:all ease-in-out 400ms;
}
.full-page.right{
transform: translateX(100vw);
-webkit-transform: translateX(100vw);
}
.full-page.left{
transform: translateX(-100vw);
-webkit-transform: translateX(-100vw);
}
.full-page.active{
transition:all ease-in-out 400ms;
-webkit-transition:all ease-in-out 400ms;
transform: translateX(0);
-webkit-transform: translateX(0);
}
#introduction {
z-index: 1;
}
#about-me {
z-index: 0;
}
#information {
text-align: center;
}
#intro {
font-size: 4vw;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 30vh;
}
#port{
position: absolute;
right: 3vw;
bottom: 5vh;
color: white;
font-size: 1.5vw;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}
#home,
#about{
position: absolute;
left: 3vw;
bottom: 5vh;
color: white;
font-size: 1.5vw;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}
#about:active #about-me {
width: 100vw;
}
.big {
font-size: 8vw;
color: lightblue;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<body>
<div id="container">
<section class="full-page right" id="about-me">
<h1 id="information">About Me</h1>
<a id="home">Back home</a>
</section>
<section class="full-page left active" id="introduction">
<h1 id="intro">Hello, my name is<br/><span class="big">Michael!</span> </h1>
<a id="port">Portfolio</a>
<a id="about">About Me</a>
</section>
</div>
</body>

If you're wanting to hide the content when the '#about' selector is clicked, why not just use $('#introduction').toggle()?

This a CSS issue. You need to add overflow: hidden; to whatever you want to be hidden with a change of width, in this case #intro.

Here a working fiddle with the intended animation: fiddle
CSS:
#introduction {
z-index: 1;
visibility:"visible";
overflow:hidden;
}
jQuery
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#about").click(function () {
if ($("#about-me").css("width") <= "0px") {
$("#introduction").animate({
width: "0px"
}, 500, function () {
$("#introduction").css("visibility", "hidden");
})
} else {
$("#introduction").animate({
width: "0px"
});
}
});
});
