reactjs make content appear next to sidebar












0














When I call my SideBar component in App.js it appears on top of everything with the main page under it and I understand why it does this but I don't know how to get it so that the sidebar appears to the left of the screen with the main app component it right next to it.



Here is my code:



const AppRoute=({component:Component, layout:Layout,...rest}) => {
<Route {...rest} render = {props=> (
<Layout>
<Component {...props}/>
</Layout>
)}/>
)

const MainLayout = props =>(
<div>
<SideBar/>
{props.children}
<div>

class App extends Component {

render() {

return(
<BrowswerRouter>
<div>
<Switch>
<AppRoute path = "/dashboard" layout={MainLayout} component={Dashboard}/>
</Switch>
</div>
</BrowserRouter>

)
}
}


Any help is greatly appreciated!

          const MainLayout = props =>(
          <div style={{display: 'flex'}}>
          <SideBar style={{flex: '1 auto'}} />
          {props.children}
          <div>


          try this maybe



          you could also apply float: left on both the sidebar, and the main content elements, giving the sidebar a fixed width



          or you could try css grid:



          const MainLayout = props =>(
          <div style={{display: 'grid', gridTemplateColumns: '200px auto'}}>
          <SideBar />
          {props.children}
          <div>
