Roadmap

[Kureev]

• Make a working alpha version
• Make an example and description for alpha
• Expose menu API for menu view
• Support different animations
• Toggle menu functionality (thanks, @dvcrn)
• Extend and describe side menu API
• Create menuPosition property in cases of using menu on the right side (will be opened by slide right-to-left)

Nice plugin. Is there a way to trigger openMenu externally?

[Kureev]

Thanks for the warm words! I'm thinking about it now, but it doesn't seems to be an easy solution. You need to render menu first to get a reference to it's instance. Since you have a ref, you can call openMenu. I'll try to make an example for that tomorrow.

[adriansdev]

Yes this.refs.{menuid}.openMenu() works fine. thanks

A toggleMenu function is useful for open/close the menu from an external button

toggleMenu:function () {
  if (this.left) {
    this.closeMenu();
  } else {
    this.openMenu();
  }
},

@Kureev Can you put up a small example for this? I need to trigger openMenu externally.

Not sure how to handle the ref thing.

[Kureev]

Sure, I'll try to make an example asap, but I need some time to figure out about #4

[chirag04]

Thanks. I would need #4 to be solved anyways. I will also look into the codebase in some time.

@chirag04 landed in this thread to look for info for triggering the openMenu from a button. Not sure if this is what you want, but just in case here is a gist: https://gist.github.com/swennemans/fdaa321fcc02db96de96

Now, lets see how to transition to the next route with navigatorIOS 👍

[chirag04]

@swennemans Awesome thanks. I would prefer an api exposed by the component itself for this though.

[Kureev]

@chirag04 @adrian-social-prod open method has been exposed in 0.3.0 (thanks to @dvcrn)

[liubko]

property to open menu from the right side will be super usefull

[Kureev]

@liubko you mean API to toggle menu? It's already implemented. See #15

[liubko]

1. @Kureev no, I mean: ability to position drawer at the right side of the screen
2. what do you think about adding dragElement like here: http://jakiestfu.github.io/Snap.js/demo/apps/dragElement.html
   because currently SideMenu's responder handles all drag events on the screen, and it breaks my apps functionality.

[Kureev]

@liubko Ah, I see:

• Yes, it's in the roadmap. Unfortunately, I'm busy last month to implement something new, but in theory nothing hard.

• I think it's a really great idea. I think instead of creating additional layer we can add prop with ref to handler:

  <SideMenu handler={'handler'} menu={<Menu/>}>
    <ListView ref='handler' source={source} />
  </SideMenu>
