The md-sidenav, an Angular directive is used to show a container component which can be shown or hide programmatically. It slides out over the top of the main content region by default.
The following table lists out the parameters and description of the different attributes of md-sidenav
Sr.No | Parameter & Description |
---|---|
1 | md-is-open A model bound to whether the sidenav is opened. |
2 | md-component-id componentId to use with $mdSidenav service. |
3 | md-is-locked-open When this expression evalutes to true, the sidenav 'locks open': it falls into the content's flow instead of appearing over it. This overrides the is-open attribute. The $mdMedia() service is exposed to the is-locked-open attribute, which can be given a media query or one of the sm, gt-sm, md, gt-md, lg or gt-lg presets. Examples − <md-sidenav md-is-locked-open = "shouldLockOpen"></md-sidenav> <md-sidenav md-is-locked-open = "$mdMedia('min-width: 1000px')"></mdsidenav> <md-sidenav md-is-locked-open = "$mdMedia('sm')"></md-sidenav> <!--(locks open on small screens)--> |
The following example shows the use of md-sidenav and also the uses of the sidenav component.
