Minimized view

[alexIslander]

Hi ShankyTiwari,
I'm trying to integrate the menu into my project, which was straight forward according to the documentation. I'd like to go a step further regarding the usage. My project uses Angular Material and the menu is embedded in a drawer/sidebar.

I discovered a possible improvement in the library. It would be the 'minimise' feature. It would do the following:

• with the help of an animation the view of a menu item could be minimised to an icon view. The animation would hide the label and the expand icon( if applies)
• the 'minimise' could be triggered with an arrow icon (<- ->)
• The 'minimise' icon could be placed according to configuration (top, bottom)

This concept is similar like this:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-8zy3pi?file=src%2Fapp%2Fcomponents%2Fleft-menu%2Fleft-menu.component.ts

Kindly share your idea about this feature.

Regards,
AlexIslander

Hi @alexIslander

It's a really nice feature to have. iI you are ready with the code, can you please create a new PR?
Also, please work on the latest fork since I have added a lot of examples for the demo. It would be helpful in testing & especially working with custom templates feature.

Looking forward to the PR.

Thanks,

@alexIslander thank you for your reply.
If I wanted to try out your work and integrate into my project, wich is the procedure? (sorry for this newbie question..).
I did checkout your branch... now I think I have to compile and produce a package?

Thank you

The ideal way is when the feature merged and released by the owner of the library @ShankyTiwari .
In case it's not happening you can go down this way.
