@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations/styles/material.css';
Note: If you want to refer the combined component styles, please make use of our
CRG
(Custom Resource Generator) in your application.
Create a simple Sidebar

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { SidebarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';
@NgModule({
