I set up my navber using tailwind css and was able to make it responsive. When viewed on a smaller screen the navigation links are displayed underneath each other in a flex block kind of way. However when viewed in a mobile viewport the navigation links are showing by default. Implimented a button that can be clicked to show and hide it but how can I use javascript to actually write the code for that to work? Here is a snippet of my code:

<!--Navbar-->
<nav id="navbar" class="fixed inset-x-0 flex flex-center justify-between flex-wrap p-5 lg:mx-10 lg:mt-5 shadow-xl rounded-lg">
<div class="flex items-center flex-shrink-0 text-green-600 mr-6">
<img class="fill-current h-8 w-8 mr-2" src="images/Logo.svg" alt="Logo" width="20">
<span class="font-bold text-2xl tracking-tight">First Last</span>
</div>
<div class="block md:hidden">
<button class="flex items-center px-3 py-2 border rounded hover:text-green-300 hover:border-green-300">
<svg class="fill-current h-3 w-3" viewBox="0 0 20 20" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><title>Menu</title><path d="M0 3h20v2H0V3zm0 6h20v2H0V9zm0 6h20v2H0v-2z"/></svg>
</button>
</div>
<div class="w-full block md:flex md:items-center md:w-auto">
<div class="text-sm md:flex-grow">
<a href="#school" class="block mt-4 md:inline-block md:mt-0 hover:text-green-300 mr-4">About</a>
<a href="#skills" class="block mt-4 md:inline-block md:mt-0 hover:text-green-300 mr-4">Skills</a>

<a href="#experience" class="block mt-4 md:inline-block md:mt-0 hover:text-green-300 mr-4">Experience</a>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
block md:flex to hidden md:flex which will hide the menu on mobile screens.Element.classList.toggle to toggle the hidden class when the button is clicked on mobile screens.Try this
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){
let menu = document.getElementById('navbar-menu');
document.getElementById('navbar-toggler').addEventListener('click', event => {
menu.classList.toggle('hidden')
})
})<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>

</nav>You can use Javascript to select the element by its id and add or remove classes/styles to achieve the toggle effect.
ex:
const navbar = document.querySelector("#navbar");
if (navbar.classList.contains("something"){
someelement.style.display = "none";
anotherElement.style.display = "block";
navbar.classList.add("someClass");
}
Here is an example codepen for the same. https://codepen.io/ljc-dev/pen/MWoRayy
