Can this jQuery function be edited to only apply to li items that have children?

1 Views

When the browser width is below 1080px on my WordPress site, I’ve set up a mobile menu with containing an unordered list that is configured via PHP rather than HTML. I have some jQuery code below that adds a span tag after the menu items so that I can use it as a means of toggling sub menus. The problem is, I want to change it so that it only adds the span to list items that have subpages. 

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {    

$('nav.main-menu#mobile ul li').after('<span class="submenu-button">+</span>');

});

I also have another issue with this – I’ve given certain menu items a custom class (nav.main-menu#mobile li.hide-mobile) so that I can set them to display:none when the menu changes to the mobile menu at 1080px. The jQuery is adding a span for these too, and the one I have at the moment has children so the span will presumably will remain even if I have a fix for the code above. Is there a way of removing the span for this class?

The PHP my menu uses: 

function register_menus() {
    register_nav_menus(
        array(
            'primary' => esc_html__( 'Primary Menu', 'theme_wp' ),    
            'header' => __( 'Header Menu' ),
            'footer' => __( 'Footer Menu' )
        )
    );
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_menus' );

My header is as follows: 

<header class="header">
    <div class="header-navigation">

  1. You should be able to accomplish it with this:

    $('nav.main-menu#mobile ul li:not(.hide-mobile) ul').parent('li').after('<span class="submenu-button">+</span>');

    It will select every li that have ul as a child inside mobile menu
