I have a project based on bootstrap 3.3.7. What I'm trying to achieve is to have a toggle button connected to sidebar. So when a user clicks the button, a sidebar shows from the left. This is the code which I currently have:
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<!-- Sidebar Holder -->
<nav id="sidebar">
<div class="sidebar-header">
<h3>Test</h3>
</div>
<ul class="list-unstyled components">
<p>Dummy Heading</p>
<li class="active">
<a href="#homeSubmenu" data-toggle="collapse" aria-expanded="false">Home</a>
<ul class="collapse list-unstyled" id="homeSubmenu">
<li><a href="#">Home 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Home 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Home 3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="list-unstyled CTAs">
<li><a href="https://bootstrapious.com/p/bootstrap-sidebar" class="article">Back to the article</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
<!-- Page Content Holder -->
<div id="content">
<button type="button" id="sidebarCollapse" class="btn btn-info navbar-btn">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-align-left"></i>
</button>
<div class="container-fluid">
<h2>Collapsible Sidebar Using Bootstrap 3</h2></div></div>
JS:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#sidebarCollapse").on("click", function() {
$("#sidebar").toggleClass("active");
$(this).toggleClass("active");
});
});
CSS:
.navbar {
padding: 15px 10px;
background: #fff;
border: none;
border-radius: 0;
margin-bottom: 40px;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}
.navbar-btn {
box-shadow: none;
outline: none !important;
border: none;
}
.line {
width: 100%;
height: 1px;
border-bottom: 1px dashed #ddd;
margin: 40px 0;
}
/* ---------------------------------------------------

.wrapper {
display: flex;
align-items: stretch;
}
#sidebar {
min-width: 250px;
max-width: 250px;
background: #7386D5;
color: #fff;
transition: all 0.3s;
}
#sidebar a,
#sidebar a:hover,
#sidebar a:focus {
color: inherit;
}
#sidebar.active {
margin-left: -250px;
}
#sidebar .sidebar-header {
padding: 20px;
background: #6d7fcc;
}
#sidebar ul.components {
padding: 20px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #47748b;
}
#sidebar ul p {
color: #fff;
padding: 10px;
}
#sidebar ul li a {
padding: 10px;
font-size: 1.1em;
display: block;
}
#sidebar ul li a:hover {
color: #7386D5;
background: #fff;
}
#sidebar ul li.active > a,
a[aria-expanded="true"] {
color: #fff;
background: #6d7fcc;
}
a[data-toggle="collapse"] {
position: relative;
}
a[aria-expanded="false"]::before,
a[aria-expanded="true"]::before {
content: '\e259';
display: block;
position: absolute;
right: 20px;
font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
font-size: 0.6em;
}
a[aria-expanded="true"]::before {
content: '\e260';
}
ul ul a {
font-size: 0.9em !important;
padding-left: 30px !important;
background: #6d7fcc;
}
ul.CTAs {
padding: 20px;
}
ul.CTAs a {
text-align: center;
font-size: 0.9em !important;
display: block;
border-radius: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
a.download {
background: #fff;
color: #7386D5;
}
a.article,
a.article:hover {
background: #6d7fcc !important;
color: #fff !important;
}
/* ---------------------------------------------------
CONTENT STYLE
----------------------------------------------------- */
#content {
padding: 20px;
min-height: 100vh;
transition: all 0.3s;
}
#content p a {
color:
}
/* ---------------------------------------------------
MEDIAQUERIES
----------------------------------------------------- */
@media (max-width: 768px) {
#sidebar {
margin-left: -250px;
}
#sidebar.active {
margin-left: 0;
}
}
The code works but I do have an issue - I want to have the sidebar hidden all the time. So only a click on the button shows it. I have went through a bootstrap docs yet there is no class/info how to enhance this code with such functionality.
thanks for any hints..
I think that you have switch the parameter of active class, if so you can also eliminate the last mediaquery . Try this
.navbar {
padding: 15px 10px;
background: #fff;
border: none;
border-radius: 0;
margin-bottom: 40px;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}
.navbar-btn {
box-shadow: none;
outline: none !important;
border: none;
}
.line {
width: 100%;
height: 1px;
border-bottom: 1px dashed #ddd;
margin: 40px 0;
}
