Modify the active attribute or property to make the drawer show or hide. The chi-drawer element also has three public methods to interact with it: show(), hide(), toggle().

<!-- Trigger -->
<chi-button id="drawer-trigger" type="icon">
  <chi-icon icon="menu" size="sm--2"></chi-icon>

Use the function chi.drawer(elem) to instantiate a new drawer component in the DOM element passed as a parameter. You must use the trigger element as the parameter.

Preventing memory leaks

Drawer components have a dispose function to free all resources attached to the element, such as event listeners and object data. You should call this method when you want to remove the component.

var elem = document.getElementById('drawer-1');
var drawer = chi.drawer(elem);
// do stuff
drawer.dispose();

It is safe to call the drawer method more than once, as it will return any previously created drawer component associated to the trigger.

var elem = document.getElementById('drawer-2');
var drawer = chi.drawer(elem);
var elem2 = document.getElementById('drawer-2');
var drawer2 = chi.drawer(elem2);
drawer === drawer2; // returns true

drawer.dispose(); // Only have to do it once.
