Topic: SideNav Close on Button Click

athleticssoftware pro asked 6 years ago


Is there a way that we can get the sidenav to close on a button click? Example by...
// Show sideNav
$('.button-show’).sideNav('show');

// Hide sideNav
$('.button-hide').sideNav('hide');
Here is some example code based on the samples on the site.
<div id="slide-out" class="side-nav white">
<ul class="custom-scrollbar mr-0 mt-0 mb-0 ps ps--theme_default" style="list-style:none; font-size:14px !important; font-weight: 900; width:100%;" >
<li><div class=”button-collapse”>Close the SideNav</div></li>
<li>
<h4 class="pl-1" style="font-family:Arial !important; font-weight:900 !important;">Some Menu</h4>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="collapsible collapsible-accordion" style="list-style:none; padding-left: 0; margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 14px !important; ">
<li><a class="nav-link waves-effect MyStyle" href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a class="nav-link waves-effect MyStyle" href="/FAQS">FAQ</a></li>
<li><a class="nav-link waves-effect MyStyle" href="/Forms">Forms</a></li>
<li><a class="nav-link waves-effect MyStyle" href="/contact-us">Contact Us</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<!--/. Side navigation links -->
<div class="ps__scrollbar-x-rail" style="left: 0px; bottom: 0px;"><div class="ps__scrollbar-x" tabindex="0" style="left: 0px; width: 0px;"></div></div><div class="ps__scrollbar-y-rail" style="top: 0px; right: 0px;"><div class="ps__scrollbar-y" tabindex="0" style="top: 0px; height: 0px;"></div></div></ul>
</div>

</style>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var sideNavScrollbar = document.querySelector('.custom-scrollbar');
Ps.initialize(sideNavScrollbar);

// ****The below code doesn’t work.****
// Show sideNav
$('.button-show’).sideNav('show');

// Hide sideNav
$('.button-collapse').sideNav('hide');

// the below code will only display the SideNav
$('.button-show’).sideNav();
</script>

Hi, 

hmm, I think is hard to have a 'hide' button cause if you click 'show' button is showing a overlay on all resolution so if you want close sidenav you have to click on that overlay. Probably if you want to do something like that you have to have button positioning absolute to everything. We will make a refactoring of sidenav in nearly future.

Best,

Piotr

Hi Piotr,

Is there any way we can add a button to close the sidenav from inside the sidenav while it is open?

Thanks!
