How do I add a smooth slide from left to right effect with CSS and Javascript on my side nav?

I am trying to make a CSS and JavaScript side-nav. Here is the code I have so far:

var nav = document.getElementById('nav');
function show(){
nav.style.display = "block";
}
.side-nav{
background-color:black;
height:100%;
width:250px;
position: absolute;
display:none;
}
#myLink{

color:gray;
text-decoration: none;
display:block;
margin-left:15px;
margin-bottom:10px;
font-size:25px;
transition: .5s;
font-family: 'Marck Script', cursive;
margin-top:10px;

}
#myLink:hover{
  color:white;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
    <title>repl.it</title>
    <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Marck+Script&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class = "side-nav" id = "nav">
<div id = "myLinks">

<a href = "#" id = "myLink">Home</a>
<a href = "#" id = "myLink">Contact</a>
<a href = "#" id = "myLink">Blog</a>
<a href = "#" id = "myLink">Products</a>

</div>



    </div>
    <a href = "#" onclick = "show();">Show nav</a>
    <script src="script.js"></script>
    
  </body>
</html>

How do I achieve a smooth slide from left to right with the side nav? Do I still need to use JavaScript? Or is there some way to do that with just CSS? Thanks in advance!!!

If you want to use jQuery you would need something like this. I've also added the close button.

$( '.show-nav' ).click( function() {
  $( '#nav' ).animate( {width: 'toggle'} );
} );
.side-nav{
  background-color:black;
  height:100%;
  width:250px;
  position: absolute;
  display: none;
}

#myLink{
  color:gray;
  text-decoration: none;
  display:block;
  margin-left:15px;
  margin-bottom:10px;
  font-size:25px;
  transition: .5s;
  font-family: 'Marck Script', cursive;
  margin-top:10px;
}

#myLink:hover{
  color:white;
}

#nav .show-nav {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  padding: 10px;
  color: white;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
    <title>repl.it</title>
    <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Marck+Script&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class = "side-nav" id = "nav">
      <div id = "myLinks">

      <a href = "#" id = "myLink">Home</a>
      <a href = "#" id = "myLink">Contact</a>
      <a href = "#" id = "myLink">Blog</a>
      <a href = "#" id = "myLink">Products</a>
      <a class="show-nav" href = "#">Close</a>
      </div>
    </div>
    
    <a class="show-nav" href = "#">Show nav</a>
    <script src="script.js"></script>
    
  </body>
</html>

Do you want like this ?

var nav = document.getElementById('nav');
function show(){
nav.classList.toggle("active");
}
.side-nav{
background-color:black;
height:100%;
width:250px;
position: absolute;
display:none;
}
#myLink{

color:gray;
text-decoration: none;
display:block;
margin-left:15px;
margin-bottom:10px;

margin-top:10px;

}
#myLink:hover{
  color:white;
}

.side-nav.active{
   display:block;
   animation:animate 1s linear forwards;
}

@keyframes animate{
   from{
      opacity:0;
       width:0;
   }
   to{
   width:250px;
   opacity:1;
   }
}
