how to toggle sidenav and content in Angularjs

Question

I'm new to Angularjs and I got a project on it, but here's where the problem comes, am planning to have a toggle button, when the page loads the sidenav should be opened, and when I click on the toggle button than the sidenav and content both should move together.

I've designed my following code, but in responsive i'm getting issues.

I googled allot, but dint get any code with my requirements. Fiddle Link

angular
  .module('MyApp',['ngMaterial', 'ngMessages', 'material.svgAssetsCache'])
  .controller('AppCtrl', function ($scope, $timeout, $mdSidenav, $log) {
    $scope.toggleLeft = buildDelayedToggler('left');
    $scope.toggleRight = buildToggler('right');
    $scope.isOpenRight = function(){
      return $mdSidenav('right').isOpen();
    };

    /**
     * Supplies a function that will continue to operate until the
     * time is up.
     */
    function debounce(func, wait, context) {
      var timer;

      return function debounced() {
        var context = $scope,
            args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
        $timeout.cancel(timer);
        timer = $timeout(function() {
          timer = undefined;
          func.apply(context, args);
        }, wait || 10);
      };
    }

    /**
     * Build handler to open/close a SideNav; when animation finishes
     * report completion in console

          .toggle()

Answer 1

The container is a flex element, but the sidebar has position absolute applied and so isn't accounted in the flex layout.

Just change it to position relative and it will work

angular
  .module('MyApp', ['ngMaterial', 'ngMessages', 'material.svgAssetsCache'])
  .controller('AppCtrl', function($scope, $timeout, $mdSidenav, $log) {
    $scope.toggleLeft = buildDelayedToggler('left');
    $scope.toggleRight = buildToggler('right');
    $scope.isOpenRight = function() {
      return $mdSidenav('right').isOpen();
    };

    /**
     * Supplies a function that will continue to operate until the
     * time is up.
     */
    function debounce(func, wait, context) {
      var timer;

      return function debounced() {
        var context = $scope,
          args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
        $timeout.cancel(timer);
        timer = $timeout(function() {
          timer = undefined;
          func.apply(context, args);
        }, wait || 10);
      };
    }

    /**
     * Build handler to open/close a SideNav; when animation finishes
     * report completion in console
     */
    function buildDelayedToggler(navID) {
      return debounce(function() {
        // Component lookup should always be available since we are not using `ng-if`
        $mdSidenav(navID)
          .toggle()
          .then(function() {
            $log.debug("toggle " + navID + " is done");
          });
      }, 200);
    }

    function buildToggler(navID) {
      return function() {
        // Component lookup should always be available since we are not using `ng-if`
        $mdSidenav(navID)
          .toggle()
          .then(function() {
            $log.debug("toggle " + navID + " is done");
          });
      }
    }
  })
  .controller('LeftCtrl', function($scope, $timeout, $mdSidenav, $log) {
    $scope.close = function() {
      // Component lookup should always be available since we are not using `ng-if`
      $mdSidenav('left').close()
        .then(function() {
          $log.debug("close LEFT is done");
        });

    };
  })
  .controller('RightCtrl', function($scope, $timeout, $mdSidenav, $log) {
    $scope.close = function() {
      // Component lookup should always be available since we are not using `ng-if`
      $mdSidenav('right').close()
        .then(function() {
          $log.debug("close RIGHT is done");
        });
    };
  });

#sdleft {
  position: relative;  
}
