## What it does

This skill guides `SidebarComponent` setup from `@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations`. It covers `Over`, `Push`, `Slide`, and `Auto` behavior, left or right placement, sizing, docked states, and media-query-driven layouts. It also shows how to open, close, and toggle the panel from code.

The included guidance covers `ListView` and `TreeView` content, animation choices, backdrop behavior, outside-click and Escape handling, RTL layouts, and keyboard access. It is meant for a React project using Syncfusion components. The `@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations` import is required for the `SidebarComponent` example to build.
