Sidenav

Vue Bootstrap 5 Sidenav component

The side navigation component provides an easy way to navigate through your website. Its appearance & behaviour are easily adjustable with data-mdb-attributes and methods - additional functionality such as touch events and focus trap (in an over mode) are available out of the box.

Note: Read the API tab to find all available options and advanced customization

Basic example

In the basic version, the side navigation will appear over your website's content after clicking on a toggler.

Note: Use v-model property on MDBSideNav to toggle navigation.

Positioning

While using the mode="side" and mode="push" properties, you can specify the contentSelector property for your page's content - this way, the component will automatically update paddings and margins.

Select mode:

Dark example

When using the dark property to set darker background for the navigation, we recommend setting the color property to "light" for better contrast.

Inner scroll

Passing a scrollContainer property to a MDBSideNavMenu will initialize MDBScrollbar on this element (by default it's initialized on the MDBSideNav).

Slim example

Use slim and slimColapsed properties to manage slim mode for the MDBSideNav component. You can hide elements in the slim mode by setting sidenav-non-slim class on them or by adding nonSlim property if youo want to hide the title of collapsible MDBSideNavItem. Elements without this attribute will appear in both collapsed and non collapsed mode.

Accordion example

Using accordion property on MDBSideNavMenu will allow expanding only one category at once.
