Overview

The Angular Sidebar, also called the side navigation menu, can be used to simplify the navigation hierarchy. Users can place primary or secondary content alongside the main content in this control. It provides a flexible container that can be expanded or collapsed based on user interactions. Any type of HTML content or component can be placed in the Sidebar for quick access and easy navigation, like quick references, menus, lists, and tree views.

Easily get started with the Angular SideBar using a few simple lines of HTML and TS code, as demonstrated in the following. Also explore our Angular Sidebar example, which shows you how to render and configure a Sidebar in Angular.

html
ts
<ejs-sidebar id="default-sidebar" >
<div class="title"> Sidebar content</div>
</ejs-sidebar>
<div>
<div class="title">Main content</div>
<div class="sub-title">
    Content goes here.
</div>
</div>
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: 'app/app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['app/app.component.css']
 })
export class AppComponent {

Transition and animation

Different types of slide-out content in the Angular Sidebar component give users the flexibility to view or hide content over or above the main content by pushing, sliding, or overlaying it.

HTML content positioning to the sides

The Angular Sidebar control positions its content to the left or right side of the main content area. This option allows the placement of two sidebars in a page, to the left and right, to show primary and secondary content simultaneously.

Dock the HTML side panel content

When the side content is docked to give the main content more space, the navigation text is represented as a shortened view of icons.

Docking example

Bind custom actions to an element (hamburger menu or buttons) to toggle the Sidebar.

Sidebar with list view example

Auto closing the Sidebar component’s content allows the main content area to be more readable.
