Standalone SideNav

[andreElrico]

Please describe the feature you would like to request.

Add a component mat-sidenav-standalone that can just be dropped anywhere into an existing project that directly adds a SideNav to it.

What is the use-case or motivation for this proposal?

I have a running project and wanted to make the navigation more responsive. So I wanted to add a sideNav when a specific width is found.

Using the sideNav with its current API required me to add 3/4 of my app into the <mat-sidenav-content> definitely not what I want, esp since the sideNav should only exist when the screen size is less that "X"px.

I understand that methods mode="push" require the content to be in <mat-sidenav-content>.

Here in this STACKBLITZ I have programmed a workaround that requires some CSS-wizardry as you will see.

Yet I dont know how I could add my standalone SideNav into a standalone component, so that I have the same UX.

Update - refactored sidenav into standalone component.
