Pikabu

Simple markup

Few containers and classes means implementation is a breeze.

Native scrolling

Just like mom used to make. Momentum scrolling in sidebars and smart fallbacks for browsers that don’t support it.

Customization

No theme, just barebones HTML and CSS. Pikabu is super customizable to your needs.

Compatibility

This thing works on everything. We progressively enhance the experience for devices that support it.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.mobify.com/modules/pikabu/0.2.1/pikabu-theme.css">

JavaScript

Basic Usage

First create an instance of Pikabu like this:

// All options are optional
var pikabu = new Pikabu({
    // Specify left and right sidebar widths independently
    widths: {
        left: '70%',
        right: '70%'
    }
});

Once you've created the pikabu instance as shown above, you can use it elsewhere like this:

$('m-pikabu').pikabu({
    viewportSelector: '.pikabu-viewport'
});

Basic HTML

Pikabu assumes a containing viewport, one or two sidebars and a main content container. By default these are prefixed with 'm-pikabu-', but you can easily set your own classes.

<!-- the viewport -->
<div class="m-pikabu-viewport">
    <!-- the left sidebar -->
    <div class="m-pikabu-sidebar m-pikabu-left">
        <!-- left sidebar content -->
        <h2>Left Sidebar Content</h2>
    </div>
    
    <!-- the main page content -->
    <div class="m-pikabu-container">
        <header>
            <a class="m-pikabu-nav-toggle" data-role="left">
                Left Menu
            </a>
            <h1>Pikabu</h1>
            <a class="m-pikabu-nav-toggle" data-role="right">
                Right Menu
            </a>
        </header>
        <section>
            <!-- Body content goes in here -->
            <h2>
                <strong>Pikabu</strong>
                is a speedy, flexible framework
                for off-canvas flyout panels.
            </h2>
            <p>
                Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, 
                consectetur adipisicing elit.
            </p>
        </section>
    </div>
    
    <!-- the right sidebar -->
    <div class="m-pikabu-sidebar m-pikabu-right">
        <!-- right sidebar content -->
        Right 
    </div>
</div>

Custom CSS Class Names

If you'd like to request different elements be used as controls, you can easily override any of the default pikabu class names.

IMPORTANT: If you change the class names here, please remember to change the appropriate classes in the stylesheets as well.

pikabu = new Pikabu({
    viewportSelector: [viewport-selector],
    selectors: {
        element: '.m-pikabu-container',
        // Sidebars
        common: '.m-pikabu-sidebar',
        left: '.m-pikabu-left',
        right: '.m-pikabu-right',
        // Click-to-close overlay
        overlay: '.m-pikabu-overlay',
        // Controls that trigger the sidebar
        navToggles: '.m-pikabu-nav-toggle'
    }
}
