Sliding Drop Down Menu

Question

I have a drop down menu that I want to slide down when the Menu button is clicked and slide up when it's clicked again. Also slide up when clicking anywhere else in the document.

This is what I got so far: jsfiddle

HTML:

<nav>
  <a class="dropdown-toggle" href="#" title="Menu">Menu</a>
  <ul class="dropdown">
    <li><a href="#">Menu Item</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Settings</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Search</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

Jquery:

$(function() {
  // Dropdown toggle
  $('.dropdown-toggle').click(function() {
    $(this).next('.dropdown').toggle(function() {
      $('.dropdown').stop().animate({
        top: '100%'
      }, 'slow');
    });
  });

  $(document).click(function(e) {
    var target = e.target;
    if (!$(target).is('.dropdown-toggle') && !$(target).parents().is('.dropdown-toggle')) {
      $('.dropdown').toggle(function() {
      $('.dropdown').stop().animate({
        top: '-100px'
      }, 'slow');
    });
    }
  });
});

The problem with what I did is the animation happens only once and only when clicking to open the drop down menu.

Answering my own question for anyone who's interested, this is the code:

$(function() {
  $('.dropdown').hide();
  $('.dropdown-toggle').click(function(e) {
    $('.dropdown').slideToggle(400);
    $('.dropdown-toggle').slideDown('active');
    $('.dropdown').toggleClass('is-active');
    return false;
  });
  $(document).click(function() {
    if ($('.dropdown').is(':visible')) {
      $('.dropdown', this).slideUp();
      $('.dropdown').removeClass('is-active');
    }
  });
});

body {
  padding: 2em;
}
a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #000;
}
nav {
  position: relative;
}
.dropdown-toggle {
  padding: .5em 1em;
  background: #777;
  border-radius: .2em .2em 0 0;
}
.dropdown {
  position: absolute;
  margin-top: .5em;
  background: #777;
  min-width: 12em;
  padding: 0;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  -webkit-transform: translateY(-60px);
  -ms-transform: translateY(-60px);
  transform: translateY(-60px);
  transition: transform .3s
}
.dropdown.is-active {
  -webkit-transform: translateY(30px);
  -ms-transform: translateY(30px);
  transform: translateY(30px);
  display: block
}
ul.dropdown li {
  list-style-type: none;
}
ul.dropdown a {
  text-decoration: none;
  padding: .5em 1em;
  display: block;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<nav><a class="dropdown-toggle" href="#" title="Menu">Menu</a>
  <ul class="dropdown">
    <li><a href="#">Menu Item</a>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu</a>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#">Settings</a>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#">Search</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</nav>

I used toggleClass and removeClass to add the animation I wanted and that's translate (the idea originally from Slide and Push Menu tutorial):

 -webkit-transform: translateY(-60px);
 -ms-transform: translateY(-60px);
 transform: translateY(-60px);
 transition: transform .3s
