Off-canvas

Create an off-canvas sidebar that slides in and out of the page, which is perfect for creating mobile navigations.

Usage

To apply this component, add the uk-offcanvas attribute to a parent <div> element and use the following classes.

Class	Description
`.uk-offcanvas-bar`	Add this class to a child `<div>` element.
`.uk-offcanvas-close`	Add this class and the `uk-close` attribute to an `<a>` or `<button>` element to create a close button and enable its functionality.

You can use any element to toggle an off-canvas sidebar. To enable the necessary JavaScript, add the uk-toggle attribute. An <a> element needs to be linked to the id of the off-canvas container. If you are using another element, like a button, just add the uk-toggle="target: #ID" attribute to target the id of the off-canvas container.

<body>

    <!-- This is a button toggling the off-canvas -->
    <button uk-toggle="target: #my-id" type="button"></button>

    <!-- This is an anchor toggling the off-canvas -->
    <a href="#my-id" uk-toggle></a>

    <!-- This is the off-canvas -->
    <div id="my-id" uk-offcanvas>
        <div class="uk-offcanvas-bar">

            <button class="uk-offcanvas-close" type="button" uk-close></button>

        </div>
    </div>

</body>

<button class="uk-button uk-button-default uk-margin-small-right" type="button" uk-toggle="target: #offcanvas-usage">Open</button>

<a href="#offcanvas-usage" uk-toggle>Open</a>

<div id="offcanvas-usage" uk-offcanvas>
    <div class="uk-offcanvas-bar">

        <button class="uk-offcanvas-close" type="button" uk-close></button>

        <h3>Title</h3>

    </div>
</div>

Overlay

To add an overlay, blanking out the page, add the overlay: true parameter to the uk-offcanvas attribute.

<div id="my-id" uk-offcanvas="overlay: true">...</div>

<button class="uk-button uk-button-default" type="button" uk-toggle="target: #offcanvas-overlay">Open</button>

<div id="offcanvas-overlay" uk-offcanvas="overlay: true">
    <div class="uk-offcanvas-bar">

        <button class="uk-offcanvas-close" type="button" uk-close></button>

        <h3>Title</h3>

    </div>
</div>

Flip modifier

Add the flip: true parameter to the uk-offcanvas attribute to adjust its alignment, so that it slides in from the right.

<div id="my-id" uk-offcanvas="flip: true">...</div>

<button class="uk-button uk-button-default" type="button" uk-toggle="target: #offcanvas-flip">Open</button>

<div id="offcanvas-flip" uk-offcanvas="flip: true; overlay: true">
    <div class="uk-offcanvas-bar">

        <button class="uk-offcanvas-close" type="button" uk-close></button>

        <h3>Title</h3>

    </div>
</div>

Animation modes

By default, the off-canvas slides in. But you can actually choose between different animation modes for the off-canvas’ entrance. Just add one of the following attributes.

Parameter	Description
`mode: slide`	The off-canvas slides out and overlays the content. This is the default mode.
`mode: push`	The off-canvas slides out and pushes the site.
`mode: reveal`	The off-canvas slides out and reveals its content while pushing the site.
`mode: none`	The off-canvas appears and overlays the content without an animation.

<div id="my-id" uk-offcanvas="mode: push">...</div>

<button class="uk-button uk-button-default uk-margin-small-right" type="button" uk-toggle="target: #offcanvas-slide">Slide</button>

<button class="uk-button uk-button-default uk-margin-small-right" type="button" uk-toggle="target: #offcanvas-push">Push</button>

<button class="uk-button uk-button-default uk-margin-small-right" type="button" uk-toggle="target: #offcanvas-reveal">Reveal</button>

<button class="uk-button uk-button-default uk-margin-small-right" type="button" uk-toggle="target: #offcanvas-none">None</button>

    <div class="uk-offcanvas-bar">

        <button class="uk-offcanvas-close" type="button" uk-close></button>

Nav in Off-canvas

You can use the Nav component inside an off-canvas to create a mobile navigation.

<div id="my-id" uk-offcanvas>
    <div class="uk-offcanvas-bar">
        <ul class="uk-nav uk-nav-default">...</ul>
    </div>
</div>

<button class="uk-button uk-button-default uk-margin-small-right" type="button" uk-toggle="target: #offcanvas-nav-primary">Primary Nav</button>

<button class="uk-button uk-button-default" type="button" uk-toggle="target: #offcanvas-nav">Default Nav</button>

<div id="offcanvas-nav-primary" uk-offcanvas="overlay: true">
