I'm using a bination of React Bootstrap and React, to make a single page application, I've tried a few methods to get the Offcanvas menu to close when I click a link. I tried making an inline script on the link that toggles the menu, but what I found is the menu closes as I want it to but then the link only takes me halfway to where it should navigate to.
this is my code so far:
import React from "react";
import { Navbar, Nav, Container, Offcanvas } from "react-bootstrap";
import { StaticImage } from "gatsby-plugin-image";
import styled from "styled-ponents";
import { Link } from "gatsby";
const Wrapper = styled.div`
background-color: #9ac2ba;
.Nav-Brand {
display: flex;
}
.navbar {
background-color: #9ac2ba;
}
`;
const LinkWrapper = styled.div`
margin-top: 20px;
font-size: 1.5rem;
text-align: center;
color: #333;
.nav-link {
color: #333;
}
.nav-link:hover {
color: #000;
}
`;
const Navigation = () => {
return (
<Wrapper>
<Navbar
as="nav"
variant="light"
fixed="top"
expand={false}
className="shadow"
>
<Container>
<Navbar.Brand href="/" className="Nav-Brand">

</Navbar.Brand>
<Navbar.Toggle

Reset to default 2All your links are to content on the same page, so using Link
isn't necessary. Instead, replace these with regular anchor tags <a href=''>Link</a>
Secondly, the default behaviour of Offcanvas
is that when the overlay is closed the focus is returned to where it was when the overlay was opened. That's why the page isn't scrolling to the correct position when the overlay is closed. To change this, you can pass in restoreFocus={false}
prop to Offcanvas. See Offcanvas API docs.
Thirdly, to get the menu to close when a link is clicked, you should track whether the menu is open in state and add a toggle function to the onClick
prop of each link, as well as the Navbar.Toggle
.
const Navigation = () => {
const [menuOpen, setMenuOpen] = useState(false)
const toggleMenu = () => {
setMenuOpen(!menuOpen)
}
const handleClose = () => setMenuOpen(false)
return(
/** Omit code */
<Navbar.Toggle
aria-controls='offcanvasNavbar'
aria-labelledby='offcanvasNavbarLabel'
/** Add onClick toggle here */
onClick={toggleMenu}
/>
<Navbar.Offcanvas
id='offcanvasNavbar'
placement='start'
/** Add these props */
restoreFocus={false}
show={menuOpen}
onHide={handleClose}
>
/** omit code */
<Nav className='justify-content-end flex-grow-1 pe-3'>
<a href='#services' className='nav-link' onClick={toggleMenu}>
Services
</a>
<a href='#faq' className='nav-link' onClick={toggleMenu}>
FAQ
</a>
{/** more links */}
</Nav>
/** omit code */
)
}
There is an option in the docs to automatically close: collapseOnSelect
https://react-bootstraplify.app/ponents/navbar/#navbar-props
<Navbar
collapseOnSelect
as="nav"
variant="light"
fixed="top"
expand={false}
className="shadow"

Answer by bernieu2 worked for me but I still had the half-way scroll problem. I patched that by creating a scrollTop function, and then passed it as a callback to the "onExit" attribute of the Offcanvas element:
const scrollTop = ()=>{window.scrollTo(0, 0)}
. . . ....... . . .
I'm using bootstrap 5.3.2 and React v18. I solved this problem by adding collapseOnSelect
prop to the ponent.
<Navbar
collapseOnSelect
data-bs-theme="dark"
key={expand}
expand={expand}
className={`${styles.navBar}`}
