Mobile-Friendly Responsive Navbar with CSS and JavaScript

How to make use of it:

1. Insert a multi-level navbar into your header. It makes use of field icons for the toggle and dropdown icons in this instance.

<header class="header">
  <a href="#" class="header__logo">Site Name</a>
  <i class='bx bx-menu header__toggle' id="header-toggle"></i>
  <nav class="nav" id="nav-menu">
    <div class="nav__content bd-grid">
      <a href="" class="nav__perfil">
        <div class="nav__img">
          Your Logo Here
        </div>
        <div>
          <span class="nav__name">Web</span>
          <span class="nav__name">Code</span>
        </div>
      </a>
      <div class="nav__menu">
        <ul class="nav__list">
          <li class="nav__item"><a href="#" class="nav__link active">Home</a></li>
          <li class="nav__item dropdown">
            <a href="#" class="nav__link dropdown__link">About <i class='bx bx-chevron-down dropdown__icon'></i></a>
            <ul class="dropdown__menu">
              <li class="dropdown__item"><a href="#" class="nav__link">About me</a></li>

3. The JavaScript to allow a responsive navbar.

const showMenu = (toggleId, navId)=>{
      const toggle = document.getElementById(toggleId),
      nav = document.getElementById(navId)
      if(toggle && nav){
        toggle.addEventListener('click', ()=>{
          nav.classList.toggle('show')
          toggle.classList.toggle('bx-x')
        })
      }
}
showMenu('header-toggle','nav-menu')
const navLink = document.querySelectorAll('.nav__link');   
function linkAction(){
