We are currently working on improving @itemClick events - so in the future, they could be used for those purposes. Unfortunately, right now I cannot give the specific date then this update will be out. Although, if you're using router-links, there is a very simple solution you can use:

  watch: {
    $route() {
      this.show = false;
    }

By adding this watcher, you hide the side nav every time the route changes.

If you don't want to toggle side nav on every item click and just add a toggler within, you can try using a content (below items) or content-header (above) slot and create your toggler there. Let me know if any of those solutions were useful. Best regards, Magdalena
