Class: SidePanel

Description: The SidePanel component is a React component that renders a side panel element. It provides a visually distinct area for displaying content that can be opened or closed using a button.

Example:

<SidePanel 
  content={<div>This is the content of the side panel</div>} 
  close={() => console.log('Side panel closed')}
/>

Methods

Method: SidePanel

Description: The SidePanel component function receives two props: content and close. It utilizes the classNames library to dynamically apply CSS classes based on the presence of the content prop.

Parameters:

• content (ReactNode): The content that will be displayed inside the side panel.
• close (Function): A function that will be called when the close button is clicked, typically to close the side panel.

Returns:

• ReactNode: A JSX element representing the side panel.

Example:

<SidePanel 
  content={<div>This is the content of the side panel</div>} 
  close={() => console.log('Side panel closed')}
/>

Important Considerations:

• Styling: The side panel component assumes basic CSS classes for styling. Ensure you have defined appropriate CSS styles (e.g., sidepanel, show, hide, modal-close, sidepanel-inner) to achieve the desired appearance.
• Event Handling: The side panel includes an onClick handler that prevents the event from propagating to the parent elements. Consider the potential impact of this behavior on the parent components if you are using it within a complex component hierarchy.
• Accessibility: The modal-close button includes an aria-label attribute for accessibility purposes. You may need to adjust this based on the specific context and user needs.
• Component Composition: This side panel component is a simple implementation. For more advanced features, you might want to consider using existing UI libraries or creating more specialized side panel components that handle features like animations, transitions, or state management.
