I m on Bootstrap 4  using fullPage js with a fixed top nav  and tried everything listed here  with mixed results     Tried the best  clean way    data-toggle  collapse  data-target   navbar-collapse show    The menu would collapse  but the href links wouldn t lead anywhere  Tried the logical other ways       myClickableElements   on  click touchstart   function          navbar-collapse show   collapse  hide         or       navbar-collapse show   collapse  toggle         or       navbar-toggler   click         There would be some weird behavior because of the touchstart event   the clicked buttons would end up not be the ones I actually clicked  hence breaking the links  Plus it would add the  show class to some other unrelated dropdowns in my nav  causing some more weird stuff  Tried to change div to li Tried to e preventDefault   and e stopPropagation   Tried and tried more   Nothing would work   So  instead  I had the  so far  marvelous idea of doing that      window  on  hashchange  function           navbar-collapse show   collapse  hide          I already had stuff in that hashchange function  si I just had to add this line    It actually does exactly what I want   collapsing the menu when the hash changes  i e  a click leading somewhere else has occurred   Which is good  cause I can now have links in my menu that won t collapse it   Who knows  maybe this will help someone in my situation   And thanks to everyone who has participated in that thread  lots of info to be learned here

I posted a solution that works with Aurelia here  https   stackoverflow com a 41465905 6466378  The problem is you can not just add data-toggle  collapse  and data-target   navbar  to your a elements  And jQuery does not work wenn in an Aurelia or Angular environment   The best solution for me was to create a custom attribute that listens to the corresponding media query and adds in the data-toggle  collapse attribute if desired    lt a href         collapse-toggle-if-less768 data-target   navbar  gt       The custom attribute with Aurelia looks like this    x000D   x000D  import  autoinject  from  aurelia-framework   x000D   x000D   autoinject x000D  export class CollapseToggleIfLess768CustomAttribute   x000D    element  Element  x000D   x000D    constructor element  Element    x000D      this element   element  x000D      var mql   window matchMedia   min-width  768px     x000D      mql addListener  mediaQueryList  MediaQueryList    gt  this handleMediaChange mediaQueryList    x000D      this handleMediaChange mql   x000D      x000D   x000D    handleMediaChange mediaQueryList  MediaQueryList    x000D      if  mediaQueryList matches    x000D        var dataToggle   this element attributes getNamedItem  data-toggle    x000D        if  dataToggle    x000D          this element attributes removeNamedItem  data-toggle    x000D          x000D        else   x000D        var dataToggle   this element attributes getNamedItem  data-toggle    x000D        if   dataToggle    x000D          var dataToggle   document createAttribute  data-toggle    x000D          dataToggle value    collapse   x000D          this element attributes setNamedItem dataToggle   x000D          x000D        x000D      x000D    x000D   x000D   x000D

Bootstrap sets a  in class on the Collapse element to trigger the animation     to open it  If you simply remove the  in class  the animation doesn t run  but will hide the element     not exactly what you want   Likely faster to run an if statement to check if the default bootstrap class  in has been set on the element    So this code just says       if my element has the class  in applied  close it by triggering the default Bootstrap animation  Otherwise run the default Bootstrap action animation of opening it       navbar a   on  click touchstart   function            if  in class is set on element  the element is visible     you want to hide it     if      navbar   hasClass  in                 collapse toggle will remove the  in class and animate the element closed              navbar   collapse  toggle

If you have scrolling problems after using the jQuery solution described above  e g      navbar-collapse   collapse  toggle    then this is caused by Bootstrap adding the CSS class overlay-active in the parent element  This can even go up to your body element  To solve this you have to remove this class   lt script type  quot text javascript quot  gt        document  ready function                 nav-item   click function                    overlay-active   removeClass  overlay-active                          lt  script gt

For those who have noticed desktop navbars flicker when using this solution       nav a   on  click   function            navbar-collapse   collapse  hide           A simple solution to that problem is to reference the collapsed navbar only by checking for the presence of  in        navbar-collapse  nav a   on  click   function        if     navbar-collapse   hasClass  in                      navbar-collapse   collapse  hide                This collapses the navbar on click when the navbar is in mobile mode  but will leave alone the desktop version   This avoids the flickering many people have witnessed occurring on desktop versions   Additionally  if you have a navbar with dropdown menus you won t be able to see these as the navbar will be hidden as soon as you click on them  so if you have dropdown menus  like I do    use the following       nav a   on  click   function e       if    this  closest  li   hasClass  dropdown    amp       navbar-collapse   hasClass  in                      navbar-collapse   collapse  hide                This looks for the presence of the dropdown class above the link clicked on in the DOM  if it exists  then the link was intending to launch a drop down menu and consequently the menu isn t hidden   When you click on a link within the dropdown menu  the navbar will hide correctly

The navigation should be closed any time a user clicks anywhere on the body - not just navigation elements  Say menu is open  but user clicks in the page body  User expects to see menu close    You also have to make sure toggle button is visible  otherwise a jump is seen in menu     document  ready function          body   click function event               only do this if navigation is visible  otherwise you see jump in navigation while collapse   is called           if      navbar-collapse   is   visible    amp  amp      navbar-toggle   is   visible                       navbar-collapse   collapse  toggle

I think it s better to use default Bootstrap 3 s collapse js methods using the  navbar-collapse as the collapsible element you wish to hide as shown below    Other solutions may cause other undesired problems with the way elements display or function in your web page  Therefore  while some solutions may appear to fix your initial problem it may very well introduce others  so make sure you run thorough testing of your site after any fix   To see this code in action         Press  Run This Code Snippet  below    Press  Full Page  button    Scale window until drop-down activates    Then select a menu option and voila       Cheers    x000D   x000D      nav a   click function     x000D        navbar-collapse   collapse  hide      x000D      x000D   lt html lang  en  gt  x000D     lt head gt  x000D       lt meta charset  utf-8  gt  x000D       lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE edge  gt  x000D       lt meta name  author  content  Franciscus Agnew  gt  x000D       lt meta name  viewport  content  width device-width  initial-scale 1  gt  x000D       lt  -- The above 3 meta tags  must  come first in the head  any other head content must come  after  these tags -- gt  x000D       lt title gt Bootstrap Navbar Collapse Function lt  title gt  x000D   x000D       lt  -- Latest compiled and minified CSS -- gt  x000D       lt link rel  stylesheet  href  https   maxcdn bootstrapcdn com bootstrap 3 3 6 css bootstrap min css  integrity  sha384-1q8mTJOASx8j1Au a5WDVnPi2lkFfwwEAa8hDDdjZlpLegxhjVME1fgjWPGmkzs7  crossorigin  anonymous  gt  x000D   x000D       lt  -- HTML5 shim and Respond js for IE8 support of HTML5 elements and media queries -- gt  x000D       lt  -- WARNING  Respond js doesn t work if you view the page via file    -- gt  x000D       lt  -- if lt IE 9  gt  x000D         lt script src  https   oss maxcdn com html5shiv 3 7 2 html5shiv min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D         lt script src  https   oss maxcdn com respond 1 4 2 respond min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D       lt   endif -- gt  x000D     lt  head gt  x000D     x000D     lt body gt  x000D       lt header gt  x000D         lt nav class  navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top  role  navigation  gt  x000D           lt div class  container  gt  x000D             lt div class  navbar-header  gt  x000D               lt button type  button  class  navbar-toggle collapsed  data-toggle  collapse  data-target   navbar  aria-expanded  false  aria-expanded  navbar  gt  lt span class  sr-only  gt Toggle navigation lt  span gt Menu  lt span class  glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-down  gt  lt  span gt  lt  button gt  x000D               lt a class  navbar-brand  href     gt Brand Logo lt  a gt  x000D             lt  div gt  lt  -- navbar-header -- gt  x000D       x000D             lt div class  collapse navbar-collapse  id  navbar  gt  x000D               lt ul class  nav navbar-nav navbar-right  gt  x000D                 lt li class  active  gt  lt a href     gt Home lt  a gt  lt  li gt  x000D                 lt li gt  lt a href   about  gt About lt  a gt  lt  li gt  x000D                 lt li gt  lt a href   portfolio  gt Portfolio lt  a gt  lt  li gt  x000D                 lt li gt  lt a href   services  gt Services lt  a gt  lt  li gt  x000D                 lt li gt  lt a href   staff  gt Staff lt  a gt  lt  li gt  x000D                 lt li gt  lt a href   contact  gt Contact lt  a gt  lt  li gt  x000D               lt  ul gt  lt  -- navbar-right -- gt  x000D             lt  div gt  lt  -- navbar-collapse -- gt  x000D             x000D           lt  div gt  lt  -- container -- gt  x000D         lt  nav gt  lt  -- navbar-fixed-top -- gt  x000D       lt  header gt  x000D       x000D       lt  -- jQuery  necessary for Bootstrap s JavaScript plugins  -- gt  x000D       lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 1 11 3 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D       x000D       x000D       lt  -- Include all compiled plugins  below   or include individual files as needed -- gt  x000D       lt  -- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -- gt  x000D       lt script src  https   maxcdn bootstrapcdn com bootstrap 3 3 6 js bootstrap min js  integrity  sha384-0mSbJDEHialfmuBBQP6A4Qrprq5OVfW37PRR3j5ELqxss1yVqOtnepnHVP9aJ7xS  crossorigin  anonymous  gt  lt  script gt  x000D       x000D       lt  -- Custom Navbar Collapse Script Solution -- gt  x000D       lt script gt  x000D            nav a   click function     x000D              navbar-collapse   collapse  hide      x000D            x000D       lt  script gt  x000D     lt  body gt  x000D   lt  html gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

Even more elegant without a lick of duplicated code  is to simply apply the data-toggle  collapse  and data-target   nav-collapse  attributes to the nav itself    lt nav class  nav-collapse  data-toggle  collapse  data-target   nav-collapse  gt     lt ul class  nav  gt       lt li class  active  gt  lt a href   home  gt Home lt  a gt  lt  li gt       lt li gt  lt a href   about  gt About lt  a gt  lt  li gt       lt li gt  lt a href   portfolio  gt Portfolio lt  a gt  lt  li gt       lt li gt  lt a href   services  gt Services lt  a gt  lt  li gt       lt li gt  lt a href   contact  gt Contact lt  a gt  lt  li gt     lt  ul gt   lt  nav gt    Super clean  no JavaScript required  Works great  so long as your your nav a elements have plenty enough padding for fat fingers  and you aren t preventing click event bubbling via e stopPropagation   when users click on nav a items

On each dropdown link put data-toggle  collapse  and data-target   nav-collapse  where nav-collapse is the name you give it to the dropdown list    lt ul class  nav   gt         lt li class  active  gt  lt a href   home  gt Home lt  a gt  lt  li gt         lt li gt  lt a href   about  data-toggle  collapse  data-target   nav-collapse  gt About lt  a gt  lt  li gt         lt li gt  lt a href   portfolio  data-toggle  collapse  data-target   nav-collapse  gt Portfolio lt  a gt  lt  li gt         lt li gt  lt a href   services  data-toggle  collapse  data-target  nav-collapse  gt Services lt  a gt  lt  li gt         lt li gt  lt a href   contact  data-toggle  collapse  data-target   nav-collapse  gt Contact lt  a gt  lt  li gt         lt  -- dropdown -- gt     lt  ul gt    This is working perfectly on screen that have a dropdown like mobile screens  but on desktop and tablet it creates a flickr  This is because the  collapsing class is applied   To remove the flickr I created a media query and inserted overflow hidden to the collapsing class    media  min-width  768px     collapsing       overflow  inherit

In most cases you will only want to call the toggle function if the toggle button is visible     if      navbar-toggler   is   visible        navbar-toggler   click
