Sidenav

<auro-sidenav> is a HTML custom element that provides users a way to create navigational interfaces on the left hand side of a page to navigate to separate pages or different sections within the same page.

When consuming the auro-sidenav you will be registering the auro-sidenavitem and auro-sidenavsection component as well as the auro-sidenav components to the DOM. These components will be necessary to create the navigation.

The auro-sidenavsection is an extension of the auro-accordion can be used to create sections.

The auro-sidenavitem is an extension of the auro-hyperlink and used to create the navigational links in the auro-sidenav. You can use the expected href and target attributes to properly enable and style the links.

Please refer to the below example to see how to use these components.
