Allow to programmatically open and close the SideNav

If I am not mistaking, the SideNav cannot be opened or closed programmatically. This could be very useful, for example when we use a framework like Angular or Meteor, when the page is not reloaded after a click on a link.

Current workaround is to use something like $('#sidenav-overlay').trigger( "click" );

// Show sideNav
$('.button-collapse').sideNav('show');
// Hide sideNav
$('.button-collapse').sideNav('hide');

(function($){ $(function(){ $(‘.button-collapse’).sideNav({ closeOnClick: true }); }); })(jQuery);

pass closeOnClick: true on SideNav initialization …it will work
