[FEATURE] - Auto Collapsible Sidebar
Closed this issue · 7 comments
Use case description
| Use case | Description |
|---|---|
| Overwhelming Navigation | The vast array of categories shown in the sidebar may be too much for new website visitors to handle. It is preferable to have the sidebar open for the sole category in which the user is interested |
| Scrolling Fatigue | If there are numerous categories in the sidebar, users may need to scroll extensively to find the specific category or content they are interested in, leading to scrolling fatigue. |
| Lack of Personalization | Users may want to customize their navigation experience by collapsing or prioritizing certain categories, which is not possible with a fixed sidebar |
Proposed solution
Modifying the Docusaurus configuration file (typically docusaurus.config.js) to enable the collapsible sidebar feature will help us in solving this issue. It can be achieved by adjusting settings related to the sidebar in the configuration.

Currently, when I click on the Basics category, it expands to reveal its subcategories. However, if I then want to navigate to the Migrations category, and I click on it, the sidebar for the Basics category remains open and doesn't collapse automatically. This can make it confusing to navigate the sidebar efficiently. |
In the improved scenario, when I click on the Basics category, it will expand to reveal its subcategories just like before. However, if I then want to navigate to the Migrations category and click on it, the sidebar for the Basics category will automatically collapse. This enhancement will make navigation more intuitive and efficient. |
Awesome tnx for the tip. This has also been a pain in the a... for me but I didn't know that this option existed out of the box. I will make this change asap.
I was thinking if I can work on this issue?
If you are interested in trying to fix this, I see no reason not to :D thx for your help and support
Hey @iruzevic ! Just had a doubt!
Will this issue be a part of the hacktoberfest 2023 contribution?
I have no idea, this is a public repo. Maybe @goranalkovic-infinum will know?
