How to create a css-only slide-down animation (using JS only to manage toggling state)?

I am trying to create a sliding animation only using CSS. JavaScript is used just to toggle the open/close state of the element.

I can use translated and rotateX CSS transforms to hide/show the menu. But those techniques do not reduce/increase the height of the element, and thus the parent does not follow the children height.

I want to be able to slide up/down an element inside its parent, while the parent also collapses and expands. And I want to do this using transitions so that a sliding-up/down animation would be shown.

Here is my codesandbox

I would recommend to use a transform: translate and change layout of navbar

#parent {
        overflow-y: hidden;
      }
      #slide {
        background: gray;
        z-index: 30;
        position: relative;
      }
      #slideMenu {
        transform: translateY(-100%);
        overflow: hidden;
        z-index: -1;
        transition: 1s transform ease-in;
        position: relative;
      }
      #slideMenu.open {
        transform: translateY(0);
      }

    <script>
      var slideMenu = document.querySelector("#slideMenu");
      var slide = document.querySelector("#slide");
      document.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
        if (slideMenu.classList.contains("open")) {
          slideMenu.classList.remove("open");
        } else {
          slideMenu.classList.add("open");
        }
      });
    </script>
