jQuery toggle class not responding

Question

I am trying to use toggleclass to build a hamburger menu. I want it to be clickable to display the menu by adding the class active. By default I have the burger icon display none and then adding the active class is supposed to make it display and clickable. I've tried the code a few different ways and it is not responding I wonder what I am doing wrong, any advice helps!

const menuToggle = document.querySelector('.menu');

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.card').on('mouseenter', function() {
    $(this).find(".inner-card").toggleClass('active');
  });

  $('.card').on('mouseleave', function() {
    $(this).find(".inner-card").toggleClass('active');
  });

  // #1
  $('.hamburger-menu').on('click', function() {
    $('.hamburger-menu').toggleClass('.active')
  });

  //#2
  $('.hamburger-menu').onclick(function() {
    $('.hamburger-menu').toggleClass('.active')
  });
});

  .hamburger-menu {
  display: none;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 886px) {
  header {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
  }
  .hamburger-menu {
    display: inline-block;
    .menu.active {
      height: 100%;
      width: 350px;
      background: white;
      z-index: 10;
    }
  }

Answer 1

You were almost there but you were targeting the wrong item. I did some rearranging to your HTML and added a class to contain the links so you could target that instead of the ul. You had some formatting issues in your CSS so I just took the media query out and cleaned it up, you can add that back into whatever size you need and adjust it from there.

$('.hamburger-menu').click(function() {
  $('.navItems').toggleClass('active')
});

*,
*::before,
*::after {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

header {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

.hamburger-menu {
  display: block;
  width: 80px;
  height: 80px;
  margin: 0;
}

.hamburger-menu img {
  display: block;
  width: 80px;
  height: 80px;
  margin: 0;
}

.navItems {
  display: none;
  height: 100%;
  width: 350px;
  color: black;
  background: white;
  z-index: 10;
}

li a {
  color: black;
}

.active {
  display: block;
  height: 100%;
  width: 350px;
  background: white;
  z-index: 10;
}
