## :books: General info

* Sidenav menu with profile image and menu options is shown on lhs when in full-screen mode (>700px - tablet size). Otherwise it is hidden and only shows when the burger menu icon is pressed
* Sidenav menu is hidden at a screen width of 700px or less using an observable to compare 700px with actual screen width - see Code Example below
* Profile image is a random female facial image that changes each time app is started or refreshed
* [AfterViewInit interface lifecycle hook](https://angular.io/api/core/AfterViewInit) used once components view is instantiated

## :camera: Screenshots

## :signal_strength: Technologies

* [Angular v15](https://angular.io/) JS framework
* [Angular Material v15](https://material.angular.io/)
* [Material Design Screen breakpoints](https://material.io/design/layout/responsive-layout-grid.html#breakpoints) & [Angular Breakpoint state](https://material.angular.io/cdk/layout/api) used to determine when side menu appears
* [Angular Material Sidenav](https://material.angular.io/components/sidenav/overview) modes are default 'over', 'side' and 'push'. Accessibility: add role attribute
* [Angular Material Icons](https://www.angularjswiki.com/angular/angular-material-icons-list-mat-icon-list/) list of icons, categorized but not searchable
* [Unsplash random face image](https://unsplash.com/developers) used for profile

## :floppy_disk: Setup

* Run `npm i` to install dependencies.
* Create [Unsplash account](https://unsplash.com/developers) and paste API key in `environment.ts`
* Run `ng serve` for a dev server.
* Navigate to `http://localhost:4200/`. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
* `npm run build` to create build file with Ahead of Time (AOT) compilation. Source map explorer set to false

## :computer: Code Examples

* `navigation.component.ts` nav component showing use of observable that is set true or false and controls if sidebar menu open or closed

```typescript
// breakpoint observer checks if width is over 700px.
// If so use 'over' mode and close side nav
// If less than 700px use 'side' mode & open side nav
ngAfterViewInit() {
this.observer
.observe(["(max-width: 700px)"])
.pipe(delay(1)) // delay 1mS
.subscribe((res) => {
if (res.matches) {
this.sidenav.mode = "over";
this.sidenav.close();
} else {
this.sidenav.mode = "side";
this.sidenav.open();
}
});
}
```

## :cool: Features

* sidebar collapses to burger when screen width < 700px (small tablet). App doesn't do much else - just demonstrates @angular breakpointObserver.
