Options Available

Following options are available for side nav which you can use as per your need-

• 
  md-is-open(expression):
  Model to bind when nav bar is opened.
• 
  md-disable-backdrop(boolean):
  You can use this to disable the backdrop. Backdrop will not be present if you set md-disable-backdrop to true.
• 
  md-component-id(string):
  componentId which is used with $mdSidenav service.
• 
  md-is-locked-open(expression):
  When this expression is evaluated to true, the nav ‘locks open’: it falls into the content’s flow instead of appearing over it. This overrides the md-is-open attribute.
• 
  md-disable-scroll-target(string):
  This is used to disable the scrolling of the selector element. By default this is side nav’s parent.
