# Menu Code Generator (Responsive)

 * Hello,
    I’m looking for a Menu Code Generator that could just generate all the
   WordPress-related php and css (and possibly even javascript) for a responsive
   menu so that I could just copy it into a simple minimal theme I’m developing.
   Does such a generator exist? Or is there somewhere online where I can find such
   code?
 *  I know I could also just reverse-engineer it out of an existing theme but it
   seems that there ought to be some generated or reusable code around somewhere
   for such a purpose. Also: I know I could do all this with a plugin but I don’t
   want to do it that way. Thanks in advance for any help.
 * Patrick

 * I didn’t do any new searches for you, but I had a bookmark for [https://generatewp.com/](https://generatewp.com/)
   which focuses on the PHP portion. It’s not what you want at all, I’m afraid. 
   The PHP portion is very minimal.
 * I use [http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/](http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/) for 
   ideas about the CSS portion. You have to adjust the CSS for WordPress’ standard
   menu walker, unless you supply a different walker. Also, the standard walkers
   generate slightly different classes for a Page menu (which is the standard fallback)
   and a custom menu created by the user.
    Bootstrap has a walker that is used in
   many themes, but I don’t recommend it. My own theme’s menu is CSS only, but most
   themes have some javascript to handle mobile and accessibility concerns.
 * The menu is the tricky part of a theme, and they are all different. You’d be 
   better off copying the menu from a theme that you like (or a plugin, where it’s
   already separate).

 * Hello Joy,
    Yeah, yeah, I know all that. But thanks for replying anyway (misery
   loves company). It’s rather amazing that there’s no straightforward answer for
   this question.
 *  And I didn’t know anything about the Bootstrap option so thanks for commenting
   on it. I see many people seem to be using it for menus in WordPress but I’m wanting
   to use CSS Grid instead of Bootstrap so I wouldn’t want the Bootstrap dependency
   just for the nav menu.
 *  There are various cute little web pages online about how to create a wordpress
   menu with responsive capability but so many of them are single-level-only on 
   mobile – it’s annoying!
 * Thanks again!!
    Patrick
