1. Create a New Header and Sidebar
Let's create a basic sketch of Header&Sidebar layout.
Create a new View called
appLayout
.Place a new Application Header to the canvas work-field and name it
Header
.Set up properties of the
Header
as a follows: Height ->Large
; Horizontal Alignment ->Center
; Vertical Alignment ->Middle
; Background ->Light Gray
Right under
Header
put a new Container called itappContent
and set up it Item Flex onStretch
.Into the
appContent
place a new Sidebar Layout, name itsidebar
, and set up Padding of the Main Content onWide
.
2. Place Content Boxes
Inside boxes serve as content elements separated between sidebar and content layouts.
Place a Box into the
Content Container
and name itcntBox
.It's properties will be configured as follows: Background ->
White
; Shadow ->Large
; Padding ->Wide
; Item Flex ->Stretch
Place a second Box into the
Content Sidebar
, name itsidebarPanel
and set up its properties.Background ->
Gray
; Foreground ->White
; Padding ->Wide
; Item Flex ->Stretch
3. Fill a Content (Optional)
If you like to obtain the same results as we do, continue with the following steps.
Put a Label into the
Header
, name ithdrLabel
, and set up its properties as follows: Value -> "Addaptio Daily Planet
"; Font Size ->XXXLARGE
; Icon Name ->mdi/earth
; Icon Size ->X Large
; Icon Foreground ->RED
Place a Text into the
sidebarPanel
, name itcntSideBar
, and following configuration: Value -> [copy text from tab bellow]; Markdown ->true
; Markdown Blocks ->true
Same do with a Text placed into cntBox, name it cntText, and configure as follows: Value -> [copy text from tab bellow]; Markdown ->
true
; Markdown Blocks ->true
4. Switching Sidebar Position
If we need to switch the sidebar panel position for a specific reason, it can be simply done with one click.
Switch on the
sidebar
and change Sidebar Position ->Right
.
