Dynamically change the padding of buttons

I'm currently customizing a left toggler button that uses the bi-list icon. When hovered over, the icon increases by 5px, but this increase also affects the size of the button, causing responsiveness issues in my navbar. How can I dynamically adjust the padding inside the button to accommodate for the changing size of the icon?

("use strict");

// Navbar Dropdown
$(".dropdown-toggle").click(function() {
  $(this).next(".dropdown-menu").slideToggle(600);
});
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@300;400;500;600;700;800&display=swap");
@import url("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/font/bootstrap-icons.min.css");
header {
  background: black;
}

/*navbar styles here*/

/*dropdown styles here*/

/*icon styles here*/

It is the left toggler button I'm currently working on right now.

I have experimented with using scale() and the calc() function.

Answer №1

Special thanks to Cbroe for helping me solve the issue that was causing it not to function properly. It turns out, the scale() function does not apply to inline elements. Remember to include display: inline-block for any icons you wish to resize dynamically.
