Sidebar with Navigation

Best Practice

The first child element of the id=page-wrapper is the Sidebar with Navigation. This is the nav. For small devices like smartphones, it makes responsive adjustments. Add Top Level and Child Level items as needed.

• Used in the App Screen.
• Presents only two levels of navigation.
• Child pages should get the class active added to their class list, in both the li and a which hold the link when they’re being viewed.
• Current child pages also get the eye icon, when they’re being viewed. The same icon is used in Breadcrumbs to indicate the current page.
• Child items will only appear when they’re toggled by the button to the right of their parent link.
• The sidebar footer is empty by default but available for 1 or 2 short links
