The control sidebar component is part of AdminLTE's layout as the right sidebar.

Usage

This plugin can be activated as a jQuery plugin or using the data api. To activate the plugin, you must first add the HTML markup to your layout, then create the toggle button as shown below.

HTML Markup

{: .text-bold }

<!-- Control Sidebar -->
<aside class="control-sidebar control-sidebar-dark">
  <!-- Control sidebar content goes here -->
</aside>
<!-- /.control-sidebar -->

Data api

{: .text-bold } Add data-widget="control-sidebar" to any button or a element to activate the plugin.

<a href="#" data-widget="control-sidebar">Toggle Control Sidebar</a>
