Why isn't my navbar closing when I click on another link? - html

Question

Description: I have a responsive navbar which is opening and closing perfectly fine.
Problem: When I click on a link, It doesn't close itself. I have to manually close it.
Kindly find the codebase below:
navbar.component.html

I have tried many options including:
Commenting out most of the lines
Removing the media queries
Removing the click event
Nothing is working! Can somebody please help me?

I'm not sure how you implemented your JS functions, but I think I would simulate a click on the navbar toggler or just make a function called whenever the user navigates, that makes sure the navbar is closed after navigation.
