The JavaScript to activate the navigation.

'use strict';

var isMenuOpen = false;
// TOGGLE MENU ACTIVE STATE
menuToggle.addEventListener('click', function (e) {

  // toggle a11y attributes and active class
  menuToggle.setAttribute('aria-expanded', String(isMenuOpen));
  menu.hidden = !isMenuOpen;
  nav.classList.toggle('nav--open');
});
// TRAP TAB INSIDE NAV WHEN OPEN
nav.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
  // abort if menu isn't open or modifier keys are pressed
  if (!isMenuOpen || e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey || e.altKey) {
    return;
  }
  // listen for tab press and move focus
  // if we're on either end of the navigation
  var menuLinks = menu.querySelectorAll('.nav__link');
  if (e.keyCode === 9) {
    if (e.shiftKey) {
      if (document.activeElement === menuLinks[0]) {
        menuToggle.focus();
        e.preventDefault();
      }
