Sidebar

Classes for the Sidebar component.

Overview

The Sidebar component in VulcanUI features a hierarchical structure that mirrors the actual HTML DOM. This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to all available BEM classes for the Sidebar styling and customization.

The Sidebar component follows a strict hierarchical structure with the root container ds-sidebar__viewport containing all sub-elements. Each level serves a specific purpose and can be styled independently.

<aside class="ds-sidebar__viewport">
  <!-- All Sidebar content nested here -->
</aside>

Class hierarchy

The hierarchical class structure is as follows. Modifiers are in parenthesis.

 * ds-sidebar__viewport (--open --closed)
 * └── ds-sidebar__wrapper
 *     ├── ds-sidebar__header
 *     │   ├── ds-logo
 *     │   │   └── ds-logo__image
 *     │   └── ds-sidebar__toggle (--open --closed)
 *     ├── ds-sidebar__body
 *     │   ├── ds-sidebar__item (--active)
 *     │   └── ds-accordion (--expanded --collapsed) [Only when open]
 *     │       ├── ds-accordion__toggle (--expanded --collapsed)
 *     │       ├── ds-accordion__chevron (--expanded --collapsed)
 *     │       │   └── ds-accordion__chevron-icon
 *     │       └── ds-accordion__content (--visible)
 *     │           └── ds-accordion__item (--active)
 *     │               └── ds-accordion__item-label
 *     └── ds-sidebar__footer-wrapper
 *         └── ds-sidebar__footer
 *             └── ds-sidebar__footer-item
