side navigation

A side navigation can be used to enable access to first and second level pages. Second level pages can forma group of sub items.

  • The navigation can be opened and closed by clicking the trigger menu icon on the top left.
  • A click on a First Level Page menu item opens the corresponding page. Selecting a group opens or closes it, and closes a previous opened group.
  • In the desktop viewport, when the side navigation is closed is seen as a narrow sidebar. When opened appears as a full-surface overlay panel.

See the example below, the API documentation as well as JS example code at the end of this page.
