Please add an ExpandOnOpen setting to the Drawer TagHelper

I'm trying to use it for navigation in a section using Razor Pages. Having to expand using javascript is very distracting when the user goes from page to page. Below is the code to create a self-running page that demonstrates the issue:


@page
@{
    Layout = null;
}

Hello Christoph,

Thank you for your message.

Following it I have voted for this Feature Request on your behalf. We determine which features to implement next based on the community interest in them (measured in votes).

In the meantime you can utilize the workaround I've suggested in my previous reply.

Hello Zack,

There is an available workaround for the expand on open behavior:

  1. Disable the transition of the .k-drawer-wrapper class before the programmatic expansion of the Drawer
  2. Enable back the transition (in a setTimeout callback) to ensure the original behavior remains unchanged 
       if(redirect){
                $(".k-drawer-wrapper").css("transition","none");
                var drawer = $("#drawer").data("kendoDrawer").show();
                setTimeout(function(){
                    $(".k-drawer-wrapper").css("transition","0.3s ease-in-out");
                },200);
   }
Refer to this Telerik REPL which demonstrates how the snippet above works.

Please give it a try and let us know what you think.

Hi Laurie,

 

Thank you for the feedback.

We can include a feature that sets the Drawer widget to start expanded initially.

In addition to that if the requirement is to keep the Drawer open at all times it is possible to handle the hide event and prevent it.

 

Will that option work for your scenario?
