hello,

i have created a small modal menu. i want to be able to open and close them with the same button trigger. how do I do this?

i have already try it with `@click=“open = !open”` - but it does not work.  
does anyone have any idea how this could work?

i know that there is also the modal-close component, but I don’t want to use it

Hi @Pegasus

I would use the Dropdown Component for that. Does exactly what you are looking for or how I understood it 😀.

I used it on one of my coming templates and it looks like

 ![A website menu with a yellow hamburger icon is open, displaying navigation options including Homepage, Portfolio, Events, Contact Us, Shop, and Blog.

You need to go to the small screen sizes to see it.
