               <li>
                  <i class="fas fa-user"></i>
                  <div class="profile_dd">

               </div>
               <div class="profile_info">
                  <p>Welcome</p>
                  <p class="profile_name">Alex John</p>
               </div>
            </div>
            <ul>
               <li>
                  <a href="#" class="active">
                  <span class="icon"><i class="fas fa-dice-d6"></i></span>
                  <span class="title">Dashboard</span>
                  </a>
               </li>
               <li>
                  <a href="#">
                  <span class="icon"><i class="fab fa-delicious"></i></span>
                  <span class="title">Forms</span>
                  </a>
               </li>
               <li>
                  <a href="#">
                  <span class="icon"><i class="fab fa-elementor"></i></span>
                  <span class="title">UI Elements</span>
                  </a>
               </li>
               <li>
                  <a href="#">
                  <span class="icon"><i class="fas fa-chart-pie"></i></span>
                  <span class="title">Charts</span>
                  </a>
               </li>
               <li>
                  <a href="#">
                  <span class="icon"><i class="fas fa-border-all"></i></span>
                  <span class="title">Tables</span>
                  </a>
               </li>
            </ul>
         </div>
      </div>
      <div class="container">
         <!-- Your content goes here -->
      </div>
   </div>
</div>

4. At the end, add the following jQuery snippet to your page to active the toggle functionality. Wrap this code into script tag and add it just before the closing body tag.

$(document).ready(function(){
	$(".hamburger .hamburger__inner").click(function () {
	$(".wrapper").toggleClass("active")
})
 
$(".top_navbar .fas").click(function () {
	$(".profile_dd").toggleClass("active");
})
});
