How to place "mat-toolbar" on top of "mat-sidenav" Angular Material 5

I'm writing here since I have a question about Mat Toolbar and Mat-sidenav from Angular Material. I'm trying to get the Sidenav to go under the toolbar and the toolbar always occupies the top part, something like this:

Example

Here´s my code:

<mat-sidenav-container class="sidenav-container" autosize>
  <mat-sidenav #drawer class="sidenav" fixedInViewport="true"
      [attr.role]="(isHandset$ | async) ? 'dialog' : 'navigation'"
      [mode]="(isHandset$ | async) ? 'side' : 'push'"
      [opened]="(isHandset$ | async)">
      <mat-toolbar class="fixed-header">
        <img class="logooTest" src="data:image/gif;base64,test"/>
      </mat-toolbar>
   		<mat-nav-list>
			  <mat-list-item>
				<a routerLink="/dashboard">Test</a>
        <mat-icon mat-list-icon>home</mat-icon>
        </mat-list-item>
        <mat-list-item>
          <a routerLink="/dashboard">Test</a>
          <mat-icon mat-list-icon>home</mat-icon>
          </mat-list-item>
          <mat-list-item>
          <a routerLink="/test">Test</a>
          <mat-icon mat-list-icon>tune</mat-icon>
          </mat-list-item>
            <mat-list-item>
            <a routerLink="/#">Test</a>
            <mat-icon mat-list-icon>settings</mat-icon>
            </mat-list-item>
            <mat-list-item>
            <a routerLink="/#">Test</a>
            <mat-icon mat-list-icon>layers</mat-icon>
            </mat-list-item>
            <mat-list-item (click)="showSubmenu = !showSubmenu" class="parent">
              <span class="full-width" *ngIf="isExpanded || isShowing">Test dropdown</span>
              <mat-icon mat-list-icon>flash_on</mat-icon>
              <mat-icon class="menu-button" [ngClass]="{'rotated' : showSubmenu}" *ngIf="isExpanded || isShowing">expand_more</mat-icon>
            </mat-list-item>
			<div class="submenu" [ngClass]="{'expanded' : showSubmenu}" *ngIf="isShowing || isExpanded">
          <mat-list-item>
              <a routerLink="/#">Test</a>
              </mat-list-item>
              <mat-list-item>
                <a routerLink="/#">Test</a>
                </mat-list-item>
        <h2 matSubheader><mat-icon>account_balance</mat-icon>  Test</h2>
				<mat-list-item (click)="showSubSubMenu = !showSubSubMenu" class="parent">
					<span class="full-width" *ngIf="isExpanded || isShowing">Test</span>
					<mat-icon class="menu-button" [ngClass]="{'rotated' : showSubSubMenu}" *ngIf="isExpanded || isShowing">expand_more</mat-icon>
				</mat-list-item>
				<div class="submenu" [ngClass]="{'expanded' : showSubSubMenu}" *ngIf="isShowing || isExpanded">
          <mat-list-item>
            <a routerLink="/test">Test</a>
            </mat-list-item>
            <mat-list-item>
              <a routerLink="/#">Test</a>
              </mat-list-item>
            <h2 matSubheader><mat-icon>card_travel</mat-icon> Test</h2>
            <mat-list-item>
              <a routerLink="/#">Test</a>
              </mat-list-item>
              <mat-list-item>
                <a routerLink="/#">Test</a>
                </mat-list-item>
        </div>

			</div>
		</mat-nav-list>
  </mat-sidenav>
  <mat-sidenav-content>
    <mat-toolbar color="primary" class="mat-elevation-z5">
      <button
        type="button"
        aria-label="Toggle sidenav"
        mat-icon-button
        (click)="drawer.toggle()">
        <mat-icon aria-label="Side nav toggle icon">menu</mat-icon>
      </button>
       <span class="spacer"></span>
       <div class="navigation">
        <a class="button" href="">
          <mat-icon class="logoutIcon">exit_to_app</mat-icon>
        <div class="logout"><span class="aligned-with-icon">Salir</span></div>
        </a>

      </div>
    </mat-toolbar>

  </mat-sidenav-content>
</mat-sidenav-container>

I'm using the version 5.6.0 of Angular and Angular Material. I tried using CSS and also changing the order of the structure of the code, but this last one simply gave me errors and more errors; preventing the application from running.

Your pattern must be like this in the html:

<mat-toolbar color="primary">
   ...
</mat-toolbar>

<mat-sidenav-container>
  <mat-sidenav>
     ...
  </mat-sidenav>
  <mat-sidenav-content>
     ...
    <router-outlet></router-outlet>
  </mat-sidenav-content>
</mat-sidenav-container>

Then style it with your css like this:

.mat-toolbar {
  position: sticky;
  top: 0;
  z-index: 99;
}

make sure you z-index is about your other content that scrolls under it.

.example-mat-toolbar {
    position: sticky;
    position: -webkit-sticky; /* For macOS/iOS Safari */
    top: 0; 
    z-index: 10;
}
.example-sidenav-container {
    position: relative;
    height: 100%;
    display: block;
    transform: inherit;
}

A very simple way to do this is to add z-index to 10 in your mat-toolbar. Here is the css for that.

.mat-toolbar-example{
  position: fixed;
  z-index:10;
}

<mat-toolbar class="mat-toolbar-example"></mat-toolbar>

If you are using Angular 6 for your project you can easily generate a boilerplate for Mat-toolbar and Mat-sidenav by running the following command via cli:

ng generate @angular/material:materialNav --name myNav

Once you make the sidenav component visible, you should be see the following result

Mat Sidenav component

for me just change the html like G. Tranter and set the fixedInViewport in the mat-sidenav from true to false

Anything you put inside mat-sidenav-content appears beside the menu. The basic layout structure for toolbar above sidenav menu and content is:

<mat-toolbar>...</mat-toolbar>
<mat-sidenav-container>...</mat-sidenav-container>

Here's an example on StackBlitz.
