Hi,

We are trying to use Slim side-nav in react. You are managing "Minimize menu" as internal. We can not change location or view of "Minimize menu" button. We want to fix location as buttom of screen for "Minimize menu" button and we want to change icon and text.

We are using double navigation with slim side-nav and fixed navbar on top. When we minimize side menu, hamburger menu appear on the top.

enter image description here

Do you have any plan to develope slim side-nav?

  • In minimized menu when we mouse over on menu icon, menu can be maximized again automatically. (Auto fold)
  • (Or) In minimized menu when we mouse hover on menu icon , we can see sub menu items in popup.
  • Multi level menu (Sub menus in menu).

Hi @MSC,

About this

We can not change location or view of "Minimize menu" button. We want to fix location as buttom of screen for "Minimize menu" button and we want to change icon and text.

and

In minimized menu when we mouse over on menu icon, menu can be maximized again automatically. (Auto fold)

(Or) In minimized menu when we mouse hover on menu icon , we can see sub menu items in popup. Multi level menu (Sub menus in menu).

We can add this as new features if you want.

But if you want now change the location of "Minimize menu" you can do it with css code.My css:

ul.slim-items > li:last-child {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0px;
  width: 100%;
}

and for MDBSideNavNav i added className="slim-items", like this

<MDBSideNavNav className="slim-items">
  <MDBSideNavCat
    name="Submit blog"
    id="submit-blog-cat"
    icon="chevron-right"
  >
    <MDBSideNavItem>Submit listing</MDBSideNavItem>
    <MDBSideNavItem>Registration form</MDBSideNavItem>
  </MDBSideNavCat>...

My effect. Was this the expected effect?

Slim nav menu with button on bottomSlim nav menu with button on bottom

When we minimize side menu, hamburger menu appear on the top.

This is a bug, and we fix it in the near future.

We sorry for problems, and if you want to add something or you have any suggestions, tell me about it. I will try to help you as best as possible.

You can do it by changing the code

<MDBNavItem>
  <div
    onClick={this.handleToggleClickA}
    key="sideNavToggleA"
    style={{
      lineHeight: "32px",
      marginRight: "1em",
      verticalAlign: "middle"
    }}
  >
    <MDBIcon icon="bars" color="white" size="2x" />
  </div>
</MDBNavItem>

for it

<MDBNavItem>
  <div
    onClick={this.handleToggleClickA}
    key="sideNavToggleA"
    style={{
      lineHeight: "32px",
      marginRight: "1em",
      verticalAlign: "middle",
      display: window.innerWidth >= 1301? "none" : "",
    }}
  >
    <MDBIcon icon="bars" color="white" size="2x" />
