# leaflet-sidebar



A responsive sidebar plugin for [Leaflet](http://leafletjs.com/), a JS library for interactive maps.



Please also have a look at [sidebar-v2](https://github.com/Turbo87/sidebar-v2), the tabbed successor of this library.

* [Example with 2 sidebars](http://turbo87.github.io/leaflet-sidebar/examples/two-sidebars.html)



## Using the plugin



See the included examples for usage.



### Usage



Add a content container somewhere in your document:



~~~~html



    
leaflet-sidebar




~~~~



Create a new `L.Control.Sidebar` and add it to the map:



~~~~javascript

var sidebar = L.control.sidebar('sidebar', {

    position: 'left'

});



map.addControl(sidebar);

~~~~



The sidebar will be hidden on startup, use the following methods to show or hide it:



~~~~javascript

// Show sidebar

sidebar.show();



// Hide sidebar

sidebar.hide();



// Toggle sidebar visibility

sidebar.toggle();



// Check sidebar visibility

var visible = sidebar.isVisible();

~~~~



If you want the sidebar to be visible on startup use the following snippet after adding it to the map:



~~~~javascript

setTimeout(function () {

    sidebar.show();

}, 500);

~~~~



Do not call `show()` directly after adding the control to the map. The `setTimeout` will work around some CSS quirks for you.



The content of the sidebar can be changed dynamically:



~~~~javascript

sidebar.setContent('test test test');

~~~~



If you need more flexibility you can use `sidebar.getContainer()` to get the content container element or use e.g. jQuery on the `
` element.



### Options



The sidebar can be configured with these options:



- **position**: Can be `left` (default) or `right` and shouldn't need explaining.

- **closeButton**: Can be `true` (default) or `false`. If `true` a close button will be added to the sidebar.

- **autoPan**: Can be `true` (default) or `false`. If `true` the map will be shifted when the sidebar is shown.



### Events



Whenever the visibility of the sidebar is changed, an event is fired on the sidebar instance. You can listen for these events like this:



~~~~javascript

sidebar.on('hidden', function () {

    console.log('Sidebar is now hidden.');

});

~~~~



Available events:



- **show**: Show animation is starting, sidebar will be visible.

- **shown**: Show animation finished, sidebar is now visible.

- **hide**: Hide animation is starting, sidebar will be hidden.

- **hidden**: Hide animation finished, sidebar is now hidden.



Note that the `shown` and `hidden` events depend on `transitionend`/`webkitTransitionEnd` which might not be supported by all browsers yet.



## Compatibility



leaflet-sidebar was developed to work with Leaflet 0.6.4 and should work fine

with v0.7 too. I have no information whether it works well with older versions.



The leaflet-sidebar plugin has been tested on the following systems and browsers:



- Ubuntu: Firefox, Chrome

- Mac OS X: Firefox, Chrome, Safari

- Android 4.3: Firefox, Chrome, Opera

- iOS: Safari

- Windows XP: Internet Explorer 6 (failed!)
