Getting Started with ASP.NET Core Sidebar Control

23 Jul 202624 minutes to read

This section briefly explains how to include the ASP.NET Core Sidebar control in your ASP.NET Core Web App using Visual Studio.

Create ASP.NET Core Web App with Razor Pages

Create an ASP.NET Core Web App using Visual Studio via Microsoft Templates or the ASP.NET Core Extension.

Install the required ASP.NET Core packages

To add ASP.NET Core Sidebar control in the app, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), then search and install Syncfusion.AspNetCore.Navigations and Syncfusion.AspNetCore.Themes. All Syncfusion ASP.NET Core packages are available in nuget.org. See the NuGet packages topic for more details.

Alternatively, you can install the same packages using the Package Manager Console with the following commands.

Install-Package Syncfusion.AspNetCore.Navigations -Version 34.1.29
Install-Package Syncfusion.AspNetCore.Themes -Version 34.1.29

Add ASP.NET Core tag helpers

After the packages are installed, open the ~/Pages/_ViewImports.cshtml file and import the Syncfusion.AspNetCore.Navigations and Syncfusion.AspNetCore.Base tag helpers.

@addTagHelper *, Syncfusion.AspNetCore.Navigations
@addTagHelper *, Syncfusion.AspNetCore.Base

Add stylesheet and script resources

The theme stylesheet and script can be referenced from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet and script references inside the <head> of ~/Pages/Shared/_Layout.cshtml file.

<head>
    ...
    ...
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="_content/Syncfusion.AspNetCore.Themes/styles/fluent2.css" />
    <script src="_content/Syncfusion.AspNetCore.Navigations/scripts/sf-sidebar.min.js"></script>
</head>

Register the script manager

Open the ~/Pages/Shared/_Layout.cshtml file and register the script manager (<ejs-scripts>) at the end of the <body> element as shown below.

<body>
    ...
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Script Manager -->
    <ejs-scripts></ejs-scripts>
</body>

Add the ASP.NET Core Sidebar control

Add the ASP.NET Core Sidebar control in the ~/Pages/Index.cshtml file.

<!-- sidebar element declaration -->
<ejs-sidebar id="default-sidebar" closeOnDocumentClick="false">
	<e-content-template>
		<div class="title-header">
			<div style="display:inline-block"> Sidebar </div>
		</div>
	</e-content-template>
</ejs-sidebar>
<!-- end of sidebar element -->
<!--  Main Content declaration -->
<div>
	<div class="title default">Main content</div>
	<div class="sub-title">
		Place your primary content here.
	</div>
</div>

<style>
    /* sample level styles */
    .center-align {
        text-align: center;
        padding: 20px;
    }

    .title {
        text-align: center;
        font-size: 20px;
        padding: 15px;
    }

    .sub-title {
        text-align: center;
        font-size: 16px;
        padding: 10px;
    }

    body {
        padding-top: 0px;
        padding-bottom: 0px;
    }

    .title-header {
        text-align: center;
        font-size: 18px;
        padding: 15px;
    }

    .title.default {
        padding: 25px 15px 15px;
    }
    /* sidebar element styles */
    #default-sidebar {
        background-color: rgb(25, 118, 210);
        color: #ffffff;
    }
</style>

Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or +F5 (macOS) to launch the application. The ASP.NET Core Sidebar control will render in your default web browser.

ASP.NET Core Sidebar Control

Enable backdrop

Enabling showBackdrop prevents interaction with the main content. Here, the DOM elements will not get changed. It only closes the main content by covering with a black backdrop overlay and focuses the Sidebar on the screen. Sidebar can be rendered with specific width by setting width property.

NOTE

To achieve a proper backdrop, we suggest that you create a wrapper parent container for the div block in which you intend to enable the backdrop. Set the class name of this parent container as the target for the Sidebar. Alternatively, you can place an empty div container after the target container.

The following example shows a Sidebar component with enabled backdrop.

<!-- sidebar element declaration -->
<ejs-sidebar id="default-sidebar" showBackdrop="true" type="Push" width="280px">
    <e-content-template>
        <div class="title"> Sidebar content</div>
        <div class="sub-title">
            Click the button to close the Sidebar.
        </div>
        <div class="center-align">
            <!-- button element declaration -->
            <ejs-button id="close" content="Close Sidebar"></ejs-button>
        </div>
    </e-content-template>
</ejs-sidebar>
<!-- end of sidebar element -->
<!-- main content declaration -->
<div>
    <div class="title">Main content</div>
    <div class="sub-title"> Click the button to open/close the Sidebar.</div>
    <div style="padding:20px" class="center-align">
        <!-- button element declaration -->
        <ejs-button id="toggle" content="Toggle Sidebar" cssClass="e-info"></ejs-button>
    </div>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
        //create instances for sidebar element
        var defaultSidebar = document.getElementById("default-sidebar").ej2_instances[0];
        // Toggle Button to close and open the sidebar
        document.getElementById('toggle').onclick = function () {
            defaultSidebar.toggle();
        }
        // Close the sidebar
        document.getElementById('close').onclick = function () {
            defaultSidebar.hide();
        }
    });
</script>

<style>
    /* sample level styles */
    .center-align {
        text-align: center;
        padding: 20px;
    }

    .title {
        text-align: center;
        font-size: 20px;
        padding: 15px;
    }

    .sub-title {
        text-align: center;
        font-size: 16px;
        padding: 10px;
    }
    /* Button styles */
    #close, #close:hover, #close:active, #close:focus { /* csslint allow: adjoining-classes*/
        background: #fafafa;
        color: black
    }
    /* sidebar element styles */
    #default-sidebar {
        background-color: rgb(25, 118, 210);
        color: #ffffff;
    }
</style>

Enable Backdrop in ASP.NET Core Sidebar

Position

Positioning the Sidebar to the right or left of the main content can be achieved by using the position property. If the position is not set, the Sidebar will expand from the left to the body element. enablePersistence will persist the component’s state between page reloads. change event will be triggered when the state(expand/collapse) of the component is changed.

In the following sample, the sidebar is rendered with position property.

<!-- sidebar element declaration -->
<ejs-sidebar id="default-sidebar" enablePersistence="true" type="Push" width="280px" target=".maincontent">
    <e-content-template>
        <div class="title"> Sidebar content</div>
        <div class="sub-title">
            Click the button to close the Sidebar.
        </div>
        <div class="center-align">
            <!-- Button element declaration -->
            <ejs-button id="close" content="Close Sidebar"></ejs-button>
        </div>
    </e-content-template>
</ejs-sidebar>

Changing ASP.NET Core Sidebar Position

Animate

Animation transitions can be set while expanding or collapsing the Sidebar using the animate property. By default, animate property is set to true. enableRTL will display the sidebar in the right-to-left direction.

<ejs-sidebar id="default-sidebar" animate="false" enableRtl="true" type="Push" width="280px">
    <e-content-template>
        <div class="title"> Sidebar content</div>

Sidebar Sample

Close on document click

Sidebar can be closed on document click by setting closeOnDocumentClick to true. By default, the closeOnDocumentClick property is set to false, which prevents the Sidebar from closing when the user clicks outside of it. To keep the Sidebar open when it is initially rendered, use the isOpen property.

<ejs-sidebar id="default-sidebar" closeOnDocumentClick="true" isOpen="true" type="Push" width="280px">
    <e-content-template>
        <div class="title"> Sidebar content</div>
    </e-content-template>
</ejs-sidebar>

<div>
    <div class="title">Main content</div>
    <div class="sub-title"> Click the button to open/close the Sidebar.</div>
    <div style="padding:20px" class="center-align">
        <ejs-button id="toggle" content="Open Sidebar" cssClass="e-info"></ejs-button>
    </div>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

Sidebar Sample

Enable gestures

Use the enableGestures property to allow users to open or close the Sidebar with swipe gestures on touch-enabled devices. By default, this property is set to true.

<ejs-sidebar id="default-sidebar" enableGestures="true" type="Push" width="280px">
    <e-content-template>
        <div class="title"> Sidebar content</div>
        <div class="sub-title">
