yii2-slideout-widget

The Slideout widget is a wrapper around the slideout.js plugin,

...A touch slideout navigation menu for your mobile web apps.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist raoul2000/yii2-slideout-widget "*"

or add

"raoul2000/yii2-slideout-widget": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage

Using Slideout widget is easy : you need some markup and some CSS (snippets below are retrieved from the sideout.js demo site) :

The markup

<nav id="menu">
  <header>
    <h2>Menu</h2>
  </header>
</nav>

<main id="panel">
  <header>
    <h2>Panel</h2>
  </header>
</main>

The CSS

html,
body {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

.slideout-menu {
  position: fixed;
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  right: 0;
  z-index: 0;
  width: 256px;
  overflow-y: scroll;
  -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
  display: none;
}

.slideout-panel {
  position:relative;
  z-index: 1;
}

.slideout-open,
.slideout-open body {
  overflow: hidden;
}

.slideout-open .slideout-menu {
  display: block;
}

And then eventually, the Slideout widget, and somewhere in the page a button to open/close the menu :

<?php
 	echo raoul2000\widget\slideout\Slideout::widget([
	'pluginOptions' => [
		'panel' =>  new yii\web\JsExpression("document.getElementById('panel')"),
		'menu' => new yii\web\JsExpression("document.getElementById('menu')"),
		'padding' => 256,
		'tolerance' => 70
	]
]); 

?>
<!-- This button will open/close the side menu -->
<button onclick="yii2_raoul2000_slideout.toggle();">toggle menu</button>

The javascript variable yii2_raoul2000_slideout has been created by the widget so you can access the slideout menu instance from anywhere in the page. In the example above, the onclick handler invokes toggle() which is part of the slideout API.

You may also note that both option panel and menu are expected to be JS objects (and not selectors).
