+When the menu is opened with toggle(), it will return a promise that is resolved when the menu is closed.
+
+```javascript
+myOffCanvas.toggle()
+  .then(function() {
+    console.log('The menu has been closed!');
+  });
+
+myOffCanvas.toggle(); // The menu will close and display the message.
+```
+
+If the menu is already opened, then the promise will be immediately rejected.

+```javascript
+myOffCanvas.toggle(); // The menu will open and nothing will be displayed in the console.
+myOffCanvas.toggle()
+  .then(function() {

+  }, function() {
