Cannot click the other elements

[oimos]

When it render react-sidebar component, it becomes that I cannot click any elements in the page.
Since the root element has the default style, it sets the layer above the other elements.
Am I missing something to configure?

root: {
    position: "absolute",
    top: 0,
    left: 0,
    right: 0,
    bottom: 0,
    overflow: "hidden"
  },

I'm having the same problem, did you find a solution to this?

[yfery]

Same problem. Anyone have found a solution?

wrap the whole content in Sidebar to make everything clickable

[saurabh-codeword]

but the new problem is now your whole app is in absolute

You can overwrite the root styles, turning off position:absolute like this:

<Sidebar styles={{ root: { position: undefined } }} />

The ROOT override didn't work. Is there another way. This component is super awesome, but I can't use it until it lets the other page elements get clicks.

Thanks,

Same problem. For me elements such as buttons and links are clickable, however the input text form is not working.
The root override didn´t work for me too.

The root override didn´t work for me too.

The problem seems to be absolute positioning which makes the component to be rendered on top of all other content. I don't know how this component should be used with the default styles to make it work, but it's possible to remove the absolute positioning.

The following style overrides worked for me:

styles={{
  root: {position: undefined},
  content: {position: undefined}
}}

EDIT: Hmm.. this fixes the cannot-click-other-content problem, but breaks the layout (menu content is shown even when the menu is in closed state). Have to investigate more.

Just chiming in to say I'm experiencing the same problem - I have a google maps div with three buttons outside of it (I plan to style them on top of the map somewhere most likely, just in a rough version testing functionality). I love the sidebar component but yeah it breaks all the buttons that I currently have no matter where I arrange the components.

I'm having the same problem. Nothing else is clickable :(

I finally ended up doing as @saurabh-codeword suggested - wrapped the whole app as a child of react sidebar component. Broke the beauty of my app structure and required to rewrite part of my css to work with absolute positioning, but finally got it work. I just wonder if this is the intended way to use the library 🤔

[cgcullen]

That didn't work for me @ronkot. Moving on to a different plugin :( I like this one, but it's unusable when it blocks the page.

I will try to come up with a fiddle today. We are using multiple react-sidebars in our app, and everything works fine 🤷‍♂

So here is (roughly) how we are using the Sidebar as a Drawer: https://codesandbox.io/s/agitated-cloud-l2dym

I am not having any issues with that setup.

Thank you @TkDodo! This fiddle worked for me. This fix should probably be referenced in docs.

I got it to work by putting the sidebar around my whole page component instead of just the header component.

@cgcullen Thank you for your comment it helped me solve the problem. Thanks.

styles={{ 
                sidebar: { 
                    position: "fixed"
                },
                root: {
                    position: "undefined"
                },
                content: {
                    position: "undefined",
                    top: "undefined",
                    left: "undefined",
                    right: "undefined",
                    bottom: "undefined"
                }
            }}

these styles worked for me
