28 Jan 20259 minutes to read
Opening and closing the Sidebar can be achieved using built-in public methods.
-
show()
: Method to open the Sidebar. -
hide()
: Method to close the Sidebar. -
toggle()
: Method to toggle between open and close states of the Sidebar.
In the following sample, the toggle method is used to show or hide the Sidebar on a button click.
ej.base.enableRipple(true);
//Sidebar initialization
var defaultSidebar= new ej.navigations.Sidebar({
showBackdrop: false,
open:function(e)
{
console.log("Sidebar is opened");
},
close: function(e)
{
console.log("Sidebar is closed");
}
});
defaultSidebar.appendTo('#default');
//end of Sidebar initialization
// Open the Sidebar
document.querySelector('#open').addEventListener('click', () => {
defaultSidebar.show();
})
// Toggle(Open/Close) the Sidebar
document.getElementById('toggle').onclick = function() {
defaultSidebar.toggle();
};
// Close the Sidebar
document.getElementById('close').onclick = function() {
defaultSidebar.hide();
};
