Hi Piotr, Have got this working...to point It works fine now on full view laptop. But on something like Phone or Pad the side bar does not start out by default. Wondering if you maybe had an answer to this?

Cheers Mark Code below to what is working

enter code here

class App extends React.Component { constructor(props) { super(props); this.state = { toggleStateA: true, }; }

handleToggleClickA = () => { this.setState({ toggleStateA: !this.state.toggleStateA, }); };

state = { isOpen: !true }; render() { const { isOpen } = this.state; const mainStyle = { paddingTop: "2rem", };

return (
  <Router>
    <div className=" grey lighten-4 ">
      <MDBSideNav
        logo={logo}
        href="/"
        triggerOpening={this.state.toggleStateA}
        bg="./images/sidenav3.jpg"
        mask="strong"
        hidden

Blockquote

As an update to this is there an easy way to have the "open on page" load only trigger once per user so it does not keep opening up each time they navigate around pages?


Piotr Glejzer staff commented 3 years ago

did you try load side nav outside the router?

Thanks for your code. I will look into that as soon as possible.

Hi Piotr Any updates on a work around for this? Cheers Mark


mark-steven-au premium answered 3 years ago


Blockquote class App extends React.Component { constructor(props) { super(props); this.state = { toggleStateA: false, }; }

handleToggleClickA = () => { this.setState({ toggleStateA: !this.state.toggleStateA, }); };

render() {

Blockquote Just a refresh of the code on this page. THanks Mark


Piotr Glejzer staff commented 3 years ago

this code dosen't help :( can you paste here? https://codesandbox.io/


mark-steven-au premium commented 3 years ago

Hi Piotr,It is using your default Navbar with fixed top Nav and hidden side nav.Found here.https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/react/navigation/compositions/

Ill put the code below but nothing unique at this stage. In the ideal world it would be open then after 3-5 seconds shut


mark-steven-au premium answered 3 years ago


Hi Jacob I am trying to do the same thing as this post. Eg have sidebar open by default and have not had any luck doing this. Today I have updated MDB so theoretically have the latest release. May 26

So as there is no documentation in the hamburger (left side) What are the steps to get this sidebar to start open please.

The one. I am using is the fixed top nav bar and hidden side nav bar

Thanks Mark


Piotr Glejzer staff commented 3 years ago

did you try to use fixed and openNav props?


Jakub Chmura staff answered 4 years ago


Hi @StormX,

You're right. I send you the wrong example I'm sorry about that. I've tested the right one but I see it's a bug in our code. We try to fix it as soon as possible.

Best, Kuba


StormX free commented 4 years ago

Hi @Jakub, Any progress ?


Jakub Chmura staff commented 4 years ago

We are currently working on this bug, I think it should be published at next release (in two weeks). Fix is almost ready but we need to test it.


StormX free commented 4 years ago

Can you please share the CSS or something, so that I can fix it temporarily? It's a bit urgent for me.


Jakub Chmura staff commented 4 years ago

Unfortunately problem can't be solved by CSS because opening and close event is triggering by methods and depends on state management inside of component.


Jakub Chmura staff answered 4 years ago


Hi @StormX,

Yes, the sidebar can be open by default, you just need to change state that controls toggling the sidebar.

This is an example:

import React from 'react';
import {
  MDBIcon,
  MDBSideNavCat,
  MDBSideNavNav,
  MDBSideNav,
  MDBSideNavLink,
  MDBContainer,
  MDBRow,
  MDBBtn
} from 'mdbreact';
import { BrowserRouter as Router } from 'react-router-dom';

    class SideNavPage extends React.Component {
      state = {
        isOpen: true
      };

      handleToggle = () => {
        this.setState({
          isOpen: !this.state.isOpen
        });
      };

      render() {
        const { isOpen } = this.state;
        return (
          <Router>
            <MDBContainer>
              <MDBRow>
                <MDBBtn onClick={this.handleToggle}>
                  <MDBIcon icon='bars' size='5x' />
                </MDBBtn>
              </MDBRow>
              <MDBSideNav
                logo='https://mdbootstrap.com/img/logo/mdb-transparent.png'
                hidden
                triggerOpening={isOpen}
                breakWidth={1300}
                className='deep-purple darken-4'
              >

Hi, Thanks for the reply. But it doesn't work with a slim option. Like this, https://mdbootstrap.com/img/logo/mdb-transparent.png' hidden triggerOpening={isOpen} breakWidth={1300} className='deep-purple darken-4' >
