Usage

Add AltSidebarModule to your app module:

import { AltSidebarModule } from 'ng-alt-sidebar';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [BrowserModule, AltSidebarModule.forRoot()],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
class AppModule {}

In your app component, simply use add a <ng-alt-sidebar-container> wrapper, then place your <ng-alt-sidebar>(s) and content within it. Your page content should be in some container with a ng-alt-sidebar-content attribute.

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  template: `
    <!-- Container for sidebar(s) + page content -->
    <ng-alt-sidebar-container>

      <!-- A sidebar -->
      <ng-alt-sidebar [(opened)]="_opened">
        <p>Sidebar contents</p>
      </ng-alt-sidebar>

      <!-- Page content -->
      <div ng-alt-sidebar-content>
        <button (click)="_toggleSidebar()">Toggle sidebar</button>
      </div>

    </ng-alt-sidebar-container>
  `
})
class AppComponent {
  private _opened: boolean = false;

  private _toggleSidebar() {
    this._opened = !this._opened;
  }
}

If nothing seems to show up, your wrappers' heights may be collapsing. Try adding a height (e.g. height: 100vh;) to the wrapper <ng-alt-sidebar-container> or other wrapper elements you may have. (See issue #100 for more info.)

A directive is also provided to easily close the sidebar by clicking something inside it:

<ng-alt-sidebar>
  <a closeSidebar>Closes the sidebar</a>
</ng-alt-sidebar>

You can also use the open() and close() functions:

<ng-alt-sidebar #sidebar>
    <button (click)="sidebar.close()">Close sidebar</button>
</ng-alt-sidebar>

<button (click)="sidebar.open()">Open sidebar</button>

Functions

The sidebar has a few public functions:

| Function | Description | | -------- | ----------- | | open() | Opens the sidebar. | | close() | Closes the sidebar. | | triggerRerender() | Manually trigger a re-render of the container. Useful if the sidebar contents might change. |

Styling

Various class names are attached to the sidebar and container for easier styling.

If you are using Angular's default emulated view encapsulation, you may have to use the >>> selector to target the sidebar's classes. Check out Angular's documentation for more details. Note that the /deep/ selector will soon be deprecated.
