Disabling navigation drawer expansion

[OskarGroth]

The UX for the navigation drawer is pretty bad, as it displaces the whole menu vertically and just adds unnecessary animation for a common interaction. I also don't need a 200x200px size logo.

I'd like to disable the expansion feature altogether and just always keep it expanded/minimized. Is there a way to achieve that?

Try
autoOpenDrawer:false

Is this what you are looking for?

I'm aware of that flag, but it doesn't fix the issue, which is the displacement of UI that happens when the drawer is expanded (see gif).

It would be better if:

1. There was an option on Scaffold for changing the mode of the sidebar to simply be static open/closed. I'm trying to achieve it via a custom app but it is quite tricky since the drawer is located inside the Scaffold component.
2. The UI is reworked here so that the logo doesn't resize vertically

Hi @OskarGroth
Sorry for the late reply.
We are reworking the base components to make them more customizable, and we are taking this input. Thanks!
