Bootstrap Sidebars:

Bootstrap Sidebar with Minify Option

When as a developer, you are writing program codes such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS, etc. you tend to use a lot of spaces, properly named variables and some comments so that the code stays readable and the developer can easily understand it after it gets too messy. Also, if you work as a group and another one of your colleagues is going to work on your code as well after you are done with it, then it helps so much to avoid ambiguity in the development phase.

The only problem is that this method increases your website loading time and the load on it will become heavier. Since it has to load all the extra characters when someone opens your web pages. To improve the situation, a method called minification is used. Minification is the process in which the web designer minimizes each code and therefore a lot of space will be opened up in your codes.

With that said, we are offering you a Bootstrap sidebar code for free. This Bootstrap sidebar with icons has the minify option already implemented inside its code so you don’t have to worry about it. You’ll also have some Bootstrap icons besides each category in the actual sidebar so it’s such a great advantage in attracting more visitors. Closing this Dark sidebar does not make the little icons go away; so, you will always be able to use the sidebar easily.
