The sidenav components are designed to add side content to a fullscreen app. The drawer component is designed to add side content to a small section of your app.
Here's how to achieve this using pure JS!
Codepen: https://codepen.io/ManuTheCoder/pen/YzZVyjo
Step 1 - Creating the HTML
We're going to use the Material Icons webfont for the icons
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
Here's the code for the sidenav:
<a href="#" onclick="sidenav.open('demo_sidenav')">Open Sidenav</a>
<div id="demo_sidenav" class="sidenav">
<ul>
<li><a href="#" class="active_link"><i class="material-icons">home</i> Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="material-icons">book</i> News</a></li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="material-icons">forum</i> Forum</a></li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="material-icons">help</i> Help</a></li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="material-icons">settings</i> Settings</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
If you noticed one link has a class containing active_link. This highlights the a link to make it look active. This is optional, though
Step 2 - Creating the CSS
So, we're going to create a overlay for the sidenav. Notice that it isn't in the HTML section. This is because we are going to create an element using javascript's createElement feature.
.sidenav-overlay {
display: none;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index:99;
background: #212121;
transition: all .2s;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.3)
}
Then some basic styles for the sidenav links
.sidenav ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding:0;
}
.sidenav ul li a {
line-height: 45px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #6e6e6e;
padding: 0 10px;
display: block;
margin: 5px;
font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,"Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;
border-radius: 5px;
}
Let's define a class for an active link
.active_link {
background: rgba(10, 113, 209, .1);
color: #0a71d1 !important;
pointer-events: none
}
Sidenav main code
.sidenav {
overflow-y:scroll;
width: 300px;
height: 100vh;
display: block;
position:fixed;
top:0;
left: -300px;
z-index: 9999999999999999;
transition: left .2s;
z-index:999;
background: white;
}
And, let's adjust the icons a bit
.sidenav ul li a i {
font-size: 24px;
position: relative;
bottom: -7px;
margin-right: 10px
}
The fun part - JavaScript!
Let's create a sidenav overlay using the createElement feature in JavaScript
var sidenav_overlay = document.createElement('div');
sidenav_overlay.className = "sidenav-overlay";
sidenav_overlay.id = "sidenav-overlay";
document.body.appendChild(sidenav_overlay);
And, the sidenav code
So, we're going to create an object sidenav. This will be used to open and close the sidenav
const sidenav = {
open: function(selector) {
document.getElementById(selector).style.left = "0";
var x = document.getElementById('sidenav-overlay');
x.style.display = "block";
x.style.opacity = 0;
setTimeout(function() {x.style.opacity = 1;}, 10)
x.onclick = function() {sidenav.close(selector)};
}
}
... and to close the sidenav...
const sidenav = {
// ...
close: function(selector) {
document.getElementById(selector).style.left = '-300px';
var x = document.getElementById('sidenav-overlay');
x.style.opacity = 0;
setTimeout(function() {x.style.display = "none";}, 200);
},
}
Final code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
<style>
.sidenav-overlay {
display: none;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index:99;
background: #212121;
transition: all .2s;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.3)
}
.sidenav ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding:0;
}
.sidenav ul li a {
line-height: 45px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #6e6e6e;
padding: 0 10px;
display: block;
margin: 5px;
font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,"Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.active_link {
background: rgba(10, 113, 209, .1);
color: #0a71d1 !important;
pointer-events: none
}
.sidenav {
overflow-y:scroll;

z-index: 9999999999999999;

z-index:999;

}
.sidenav ul li a i {
font-size: 24px;
position: relative;

margin-right: 10px
}
</style>
