jQuery click function converted in hover on full width dropdown menu

Question

I need modifying the jQuery code so when hovering over full width dropdown it opens instead of clicking on it, but when width is less than 798px, the dropdown must stay the way it is now, opened when clicked.

I have been trying to change .click to .hover, but without success. On this state it opens the dropdown menu when hovered, but on mouse out it closes immediately.

It would be good for someone to share a solution on this problem, because this is not my code(downloaded free) and I am not well in JavaScript programming.

Thank you, CP

(function($) { // Begin jQuery
  $(function() { // DOM ready
    // If a link has a dropdown, add sub menu toggle.
    $('nav ul li a:not(:only-child)').click(function(e) {
      $(this).siblings('.nav-dropdown').toggle();
      // Close one dropdown when selecting another
      $('.nav-dropdown').not($(this).siblings()).hide();
      e.stopPropagation();
    });
    // Clicking away from dropdown will remove the dropdown class
    $('html').click(function() {
      $('.nav-dropdown').hide();
    });
    // Toggle open and close nav styles on click
    $('#nav-toggle').click(function() {
      $('nav ul').slideToggle();
    });
    // Hamburger to X toggle
    $('#nav-toggle').on('click', function() {
      this.classList.toggle('active');
    });
  }); // end DOM ready
})(jQuery); // end jQuery

Hope it helps, you just neede to locate the listener and make an if to manage the screen width.

Could be prettier, if needed will be happy to provide it.

(function($) { // Begin jQuery
  $(function() { // DOM ready
    if ($(window).width() < 798) {
      // If a link has a dropdown, add sub menu toggle.
      $('nav ul li a:not(:only-child)').click(function(e) {
        $(this).siblings('.nav-dropdown').toggle();
        // Close one dropdown when selecting another
        $('.nav-dropdown').not($(this).siblings()).hide();
        e.stopPropagation();
      });
    } else {
      $('nav ul li a').hover(function(e) {
        $(this).siblings('.nav-dropdown').toggle();
        // Close one dropdown when selecting another
        $('.nav-dropdown').not($(this).siblings()).hide();
        e.stopPropagation();
      });
    }
    // Clicking away from dropdown will remove the dropdown class
    $('html').click(function() {
      $('.nav-dropdown').hide();
    });
    // Toggle open and close nav styles on click
    $('#nav-toggle').click(function() {
      $('nav ul').slideToggle();
    });
    // Hamburger to X toggle
    $('#nav-toggle').on('click', function() {
      this.classList.toggle('active');
    });
  }); // end DOM ready
})(jQuery); // end jQuery

$(window).resize(function() {
  location.reload();
});
