<UL> Menu in single file, then call it in all HTML web pages

On my html web page I have designed menu as a UL (Unordered List)

Now I have multiple pages. In case I add one menu item, then I have to edit all web pages.

I simply want that I could create my menu UL (unordered list) in a separate file i.e. js file (or any other file) and call it in my all html web pages. So that when ever I have to add a new item in my menu, I would simply add menu item in one file; rather then editing all html web pages.

Please give me any solution or guide me please.

Thanks in advance.

You will need to replicate this code in all your html files. 

<body>
    <ul class='my-list'></ul>
</body>

Js:

var list = `<li>Dummy 1</li><li>Dummy 2</li>`;
$(".my-list").append(list);

This could be one of the many ways, but i think this is the easiest one to do your job. You will only need to change the JS code whenever you want to add a new list item.

You can use w3-include-html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="http://www.w3schools.com/lib/w3data.js"></script>

<body>

<div w3-include-html="content.html"></div> 

<script>
w3IncludeHTML();
</script>

</body>
</html>

OR

Make a json file and use it for creating your menu with javascript.
