title: Control Sidebar Plugin
---

The control sidebar component is part of AdminLTE's layout as the right sidebar.

##### Usage
This plugin can be activated as a jQuery plugin or using the data api. To activate the plugin, you must first add the HTML markup to your layout, then create the toggle button as shown below.

###### HTML Markup
{: .text-bold }
```html

<aside class="control-sidebar control-sidebar-dark">
  
</aside>

```

###### Data api
{: .text-bold }
Add `data-widget="control-sidebar"` to any button or a element to activate the plugin.

```html
<a href="#" data-widget="control-sidebar">Toggle Control Sidebar</a>
```

###### jQuery
{: .text-bold }
Just like all other AdminLTE plugins, you can also activate the toggle button using jQuery by running the following example. 
```js
$("#my-toggle-button").ControlSidebar('toggle');
```
