sidenav (over mode) disable backdrop click to close

[elvisbegovic]

Proposal:

Actually when we use sidenav in over mode, we can't disable closing sidenav when clicking on backdrop, any enhancement in mind ?

[todrules]

You could use 'pointer-events: none' on the sidenav layout. Just make sure you add 'pointer-events: initial' to any child objects that you want to click on.

@jelbourn how about if we add something like this?

@Input('backdrop-action')
backdropAction: 'close' | 'none' | () => boolean = 'close';

that way its easy to close or do nothing, but you can still do custom stuff if you like

[jelbourn]

@mmalerba we could make it align with the overlay and dialog. Overlay exposes a backdropClick observable that lets you do whatever you want, and dialog has a disableClose option that prevents the dialog from closing itself based on backdrop click or escape key.

[mmalerba]

That seems a little more awkward since you have to set two properties, one to stop the default action and one to supply your own. can we make the overlay work like my proposal instead? :p

[jelbourn]

The overlay just exposes the observable to let the component do whatever it wants. The dialog doesn't expose the observable and just has disableClose. For the sidenav I'd think that disableClose would make sense since I'm not sure what else you'd do with a backdrop clip.

#1427 is requesting a callback

I have a similar error (same to @istiti) when I close the sidenav either by :

• clicking on the backdrop
• doing it programmatically : this.mySidenav.close()

Am I the only one (is there something wrong with my code) ? Or is it something known ?

Thanks

@christophechevalier see #1899

This has been implemented via the disableClose property on <md-sidenav>
