How to build navigation menu with both target and on click event?

[Dekubaka]

I was going though the docs for the navigation module and got a menu created and working with no issues.

On page click events I usually have a function to close the nav menu if running from a mobile device. I tried to make a function and do:

menu = [
  {"text": "Home", "target": "home", "icon": "fa:home", "on_click": testing },
  {"text": "About", "target": "about", "icon": "fa:info"},
  {"text": "Contact", "target": "contact", "icon": "fa:envelope"},
]

But when I run it, it does not go to the target page. It only runs the "on_click" function.

What is the proper syntax or example to have both target and onclick event working?

I was able to get around by having putting the mobile check on the target page itself when it loads, but it would great to know how to use on_click along with a target.

The default behaviour when a link is clicked is defined by the _default_link_click function.

If you provide a different function via the on_click argument, it's up to you do define its behaviour. If you want it to open a form via the target argument, you need to include code to do that.
