Close javascript menu when click on item or lost focus

I'm trying to customise a menu I've found on CodePen. Here's what I've found.
What I'm trying to do is modify it so that the menu closes after you click on an item, or if you click outside the menu. I've tried various things but can't seem to get it to work.
Here's my html:
<!-- new hamburger menu be here -->
<div id="menu-main">
<div id="menu-wrapper">
<div id="hamburger-menu"><span></span><span></span><span></span></div>
<!-- hamburger-menu -->
</div>
<!-- menu-wrapper -->
<ul class="menu-list accordion">
<li id="nav1">
<a class="menu-link" href="index.html">Home</a>
</li>
<li id="nav2">
<a class="menu-link" href="#about">About the Project</a>
</li>
<li id="nav3">
<a class="menu-link" href="#timeline">Timeline</a>
</li>
<li id="nav4">
<a class="menu-link" href="#vision">The Vision</a>
</li>
<li id="nav5">
<a class="menu-link" href="#where">Where We Are</a>
</li>
<li id="nav6">
<a class="menu-link" href="#news">Stay In Touch</a>
</li>
<li id="nav7">
<a class="menu-link" href="#faq">FAQ</a>
</ul>
</div>
Here's my JavaScript
$(function() {
function slideMenu() {
var activeState = $("#menu-main .menu-list").hasClass("active");
$("#menu-main .menu-list").animate({left: activeState ? "0%" : "-100%"}, 400);
}
$("#menu-wrapper").click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
$("#hamburger-menu").toggleClass("open");
$("#menu-main .menu-list").toggleClass("active");
slideMenu();
$("body").toggleClass("overflow-hidden");
});
$(".menu-list").find(".accordion-toggle").click(function() {
$(this).next().toggleClass("open").slideToggle("fast");
$(this).toggleClass("active-tab").find(".menu-link").toggleClass("active");
$(".menu-list .accordion-content").not($(this).next()).slideUp("fast").removeClass("open");
$(".menu-list .accordion-toggle").not(jQuery(this)).removeClass("active-tab").find(".menu-link").removeClass("active");
});
}); // jQuery load
I've tried adding in various classes in this bit as I believe this is what controls the code but no luck:
$(".menu-list").find(".accordion-toggle").click(function() {
$(this).next().toggleClass("open").slideToggle("fast");
$(this).toggleClass("active-tab").find(".menu-link").toggleClass("active");
$(".menu-list .accordion-content").not($(this).next()).slideUp("fast").removeClass("open");
$(".menu-list .accordion-toggle").not(jQuery(this)).removeClass("active-tab").find(".menu-link").removeClass("active");
});
Would love some help with this.

You can add a check on document click to see if an element has been clicked our the user clicked outside the menu div.
$(function() {
function slideMenu() {
var activeState = $("#menu-container .menu-list").hasClass("active");
$("#menu-container .menu-list").animate({
left: activeState ? "0%" : "-100%"
}, 400);
}
$("#menu-wrapper").click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
$("#hamburger-menu").toggleClass("open");
$("#menu-container .menu-list").toggleClass("active");
slideMenu();
$("body").toggleClass("overflow-hidden");
});
$(".menu-list").find(".accordion-toggle").click(function() {
$(this).next().toggleClass("open").slideToggle("fast");
$(this).toggleClass("active-tab").find(".menu-link").toggleClass("active");
$(".menu-list .accordion-content").not($(this).next()).slideUp("fast").removeClass("open");
$(".menu-list .accordion-toggle").not(jQuery(this)).removeClass("active-tab").find(".menu-link").removeClass("active");
});
$(document).on("click", function(e) {
let isLink = jQuery(e.target).is(".accordion-content a");
let isOutside = jQuery(e.target).closest("#menu-container").length == 0;
if (isLink || isOutside)
$("#menu-wrapper").trigger("click");
})
}); // jQuery load

HTML & CSS with bootstrap / Simple question why the two container overlapped in my code

I have used bootstrap to create the navbar and i want to add some extra effect on it.
I want to make a sticky navbar with bootstrap, with the effect of adding a red underline for each <a> tag. But when I scroll down, the red underline effect is disabled and the navbar and the numbers overlapped.... Can anyone tell me why?

Your .navbar-scroll's background-color has a transparency value of 0.7, which makes the content shine through it when you scroll down. Just change the background-color to white or the transparency value to 1 (background-color: rgba(255,255,255,1)).
Concerning the red underlines on the nav links: They do appear on hover (?)
$(document).ready(function(){ /*when this file has been loaded, execute the function*/

Wizard form validation

I have a wizard form made in bootstrap, i need to validate each step of the form wizard, how it is now is possible to go to the next step with empty inputs. And since there is quite a issue regarding bots, etc, what is the best way of validating each step on a form?
Here is the snippet:
$(document).ready(function () {
//Initialize tooltips
$('.nav-tabs > li a[title]').tooltip();
//Wizard
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('show.bs.tab', function (e) {
var $target = $(e.target);
if ($target.parent().hasClass('disabled')) {
return false;
}
});
$(".next-step").click(function (e) {
var $active = $('.wizard .nav-tabs li.active');
$active.next().removeClass('disabled');
nextTab($active);
});
$(".prev-step").click(function (e) {
var $active = $('.wizard .nav-tabs li.active');
prevTab($active);
});
});
function nextTab(elem) {
$(elem).next().find('a[data-toggle="tab"]').click();
}
function prevTab(elem) {
$(elem).prev().find('a[data-toggle="tab"]').click();
}

A simple but effective method for stopping a bot is called a honey spam pot. To implement this you can add an extra input at the end of your form and hide it within the css. Using PHP (advised for form validation!) you can check if that field is empty or not. If it is not empty then you know a bot has entered data into the input because a bot will try and avoid any validation by filling all the fields in. Validation in JavaScript or jQuery is more of a feature than a MUST use as it can be turned off by the user in their browser.

Javascript hide and show div

The code below is my CSS file. What I am trying to do here is to hide the <div class="container navbar-more visible-xs"> when I am not selecting the nav button <a href="#navbar-more-show">. But when I select the nav button, the container navbar will appear. The problem here is I am unsure of how to hide the div class by default, it keeps appearing on my page and I want to have it to appear when i click a navigation button.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a[href="#navbar-more-show"], .navbar-more-overlay').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$('body').toggleClass('navbar-more-show');
if ($('body').hasClass('navbar-more-show')) {
$('a[href="#navbar-more-show"]').closest('li').addClass('active');
} else {
$('a[href="#navbar-more-show"]').closest('li').removeClass('active');
}
return false;
});
});

Scroll to bottom to see contents in Result!

You can use these following methods
$('#YOURDIV').show() // Show your div like display:block;
$('#YOURDIV').hide() // Hide your div like display:none;

From your description it just sounds like you need to add code to hide the element to start with:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".container.navbar-more.visible-xs").hide();
// your other code...
}

Can anyone help me for generating the jquery and ajax for rendering different pages on every li without loading the sidebar.

You can add one div as a container. And in that container you can put your content on click of "li".
