Options:

Options is the main prop for the sidebar here you can define/structure how your sidebar will looks like. (It is better to create a seperate file for your options and then import it where ever you're using this component and then pass it there as a prop). It will be an array of objects, the first level object will be specifying the title and heading for a specific category they're optional so if you don't want to break into the categories you can skip them and only use the content property. content will be an array of objects which will have all the items in that category each object must contain an id property its value can be any random number but you must pass it. if any of your content contains another level you can just pass a children array and its structure will be same as the first level, define title etc and then an content array. e.g:

let options = [
  {
    title: "Education",
    titleIcon: <i className="fa fa-graduation-cap"></i>,
    hideBorder: false,
    disabled:false,
    content: [{ id: 1, name: "My courses", to: "/my-courses" }]
  },
  {
    title: "Most popular",
    titleIcon: <i className="fa fa-paragraph"></i>,
    hideBorder: true,
    disabled:false,
    content: [
      {
        id: 2,
        name: "Web Development",
        icon: <i className="fa fa-chrome"></i>,
        children: [
          {
            title: "JavaScript",
            titleIcon: <i className="fa fa-opera"></i>,
            hideBorder: true,
            content: [
              {
                id: 3,
                icon: <i className="fa fa-refresh"></i>
                name: "functions",
                disabled: false,
                to:"/web-development/javascript",
                ["Some property i need on clicking this"]: "value",
                children: [] //for another level
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
];

The properties inside the object:

titleIcon: element (optional)

icon: element (optional)

children: array (optional)

if you want another level for the sidebar you can pass the children to a specific item, the same above structure will be repeated for each children.

your options: any (optional)

whenever you'll click an item onItemClick callback will be triggered and it will have the options for that item in its first parameter, you may want something in those options for your custom logic, so you can simply pass them here in the options so you can do something with them when you click it.
