Using multiple side menus

There is a possiblity to declare more instances of side menu components, and control them separately. Default menu id is default and it could be omitted, if you want to use more than one instance of side-menu you should not forget about setting relevant menuId for connected menu components.

 
{{#side-menu side="left" id="leftMenu"}}
  Left Menu
{{/side-menu}}
{{#side-menu side="right" id="rightMenu"}}
  Right Menu
{{/side-menu}}
 
{{side-menu-toggle menuId="leftMenu"}}
{{side-menu-toggle menuId="rightMenu"}}
 
{{content-backdrop menuId="leftMenu"}}
{{content-backdrop menuId="rightMenu"}}
 

Side Menu Service

There is an available sideMenu service to control the menu.

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  sideMenu: Ember.inject.service(),
 
  actions: {
    openSideMenu() {
      this.get("sideMenu").open();
    },
  },
});

Methods

• open(menuId='default')
• close(menuId='default')
• toggle(menuId='default')

Properties

For backward compability there is a possiblity to control or check default menu properties directly on service object.

• isOpen (boolean)
• isClosed (boolean)
• isSlightlyOpen (boolean)
• progress (number) 0-100

When using mutliple menus or changing default menuId then menu's state is held in menus object.

For example to get isOpen property for menu with id sampleMenu we can use this.get("sideMenu.menus.sampleMenu.isOpen".
