How to disable the Sidebar and its child elements?

Sidebar component has no direct property to disable itself and its inner HTML elements. However, it is possible to restrict the interactions to the Sidebar and its child elements in a HTML page. To disable and prevent user interactions, the pointer-events, opacity (CSS properties) and HTML tabIndex attribute in the Sidebar element can be manipulated using the created event of Sidebar. 

In the following example, a custom CSS class disable has been added into the class list of the element of Sidebar. By using disable class as class selector, the CSS properties (pointer-events, opacity) were applied to disable the user interactions and added opacity.

<ejs-sidebar id="default-sidebar" created="onCreated"></ejs-sidebar>

function onCreated(args) { 
        defaultSidebarObj = document.getElementById('default-sidebar').ej2_instances[0]; 
        defaultSidebarObj.element.classList.add("disable");
             defaultSidebarObj.element.setAttribute('tabindex', '-1');
    } 

.disable { 
        pointer-events: none; 
        user-select: none; 
        opacity: 0.50; 
    }
