I'm using Angular 2 Material sidenav in my project this way:
<md-sidenav-layout>
<md-sidenav #start mode="side" [opened]="true">
<md-nav-list>
</md-nav-list>
</md-sidenav>
<button md-button (click)="start.toggle()">Close</button>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
</md-sidenav-layout>
How to call start.toggle()
from my component instead of element with click event?
Thank you for reading
You want to declare a ViewChild
in your controller that references the MdSidenav
inside your component, like this:
// Sidemenu
@ViewChild('start') sidenav: MdSidenav;
where start
is the name of the component you want to reference, in this case the sidenav.
Next you can call methods on that sidenav, like this.sidenav.toggle()
inside your controller's functions.

Pass the object to your function.
<md-sidenav-layout>
<md-sidenav #start mode="side" [opened]="true">
<md-nav-list>
</md-nav-list>
</md-sidenav>
<button md-button (click)="randomName(start)">Close</button>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
</md-sidenav-layout>
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor() {
}
randomName(start: any) {
start.toggle();
}
}
<md-sidenav #sidenav class="example-sidenav" opened="false">
<div class="example-sidenav-content">
<button type="button" md-button (click)="toogleNav(sidenav)">
toogle
</button>
</div>
</md-sidenav>
And in your ts:
export class AppComponent {
toogleNav(nav: any) {
if (nav.opened) {
nav.close()
} else {
nav.open();
}
}
}
