To make the sidebar wider, you can adjust the grid-template-columns property in the .container class.

You can increase the width of the first column by increasing the value of 100px and decreasing the value of 1fr in the next two columns. For example, you can change grid-template-columns: 100px 1fr 1fr; to grid-template-columns: 200px 1fr 1fr; to make the sidebar twice as wide.

Updated code:

css
  Copy code
.sidebar {
  grid-column: 1 / span 1;
  grid-row: 1 / span 2;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-rows: repeat(7, 1fr);
  grid-gap: 10px;
  background-color: var(--bs-log);
  color: #fff;
  text-align: center;
  margin-top: 40px;
  /* Update sidebar width */
  width: 200px;
}

.container {
  display: grid;
  /* Update grid template columns */
  grid-template-columns: 200px 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: 100px 1fr;
  grid-gap: 20px;
  height: 100vh;
}

👩‍💻 and how can i make the margin-left smaller

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.6 seconds

Assuming you want to reduce the margin between the sidebar and the content in the main section, you can adjust the grid-gap property in the .container class to make the gap smaller.

For example, you can change grid-gap: 20px; to grid-gap: 10px; to reduce the gap between the sidebar and the content.

Updated code:

css
  Copy code
.container {
  display: grid;
  /* Update grid template columns */
  grid-template-columns: 200px 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: 100px 1fr;
  /* Update grid gap */
  grid-gap: 10px;
  height: 100vh;
}

👩‍💻 I want to make the main-right wider

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

To make the right section wider, you can adjust the grid-template-columns property in the .container class.

You can increase the width of the second column by decreasing the value of 1fr in the last column. For example, you can change grid-template-columns: 200px 1fr 1fr; to grid-template-columns: 200px 1fr 2fr; to make the right section twice as wide as the middle section.

Updated code:

css
  Copy code
.container {
  display: grid;
  /* Update grid template columns */
  grid-template-columns: 200px 1fr 2fr;
  grid-template-rows: 100px 1fr;
  /* Update grid gap */
  grid-gap: 10px;
  height: 100vh;
}

jsx

const Sidebar = () => {
  const [sidebarOpen, setSidebarOpen] = useState(false);

  const handleSidebarOpen = () => {

export default Sidebar;

CSS file:

css
  Copy code
.sidebar {
  position: fixed;
  top: 50%;
  right: 0;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}

.sidebar_icon {
  background-color: #333;
  color: white;
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  cursor: pointer;
  transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

.sidebar_icon:hover {
  background-color: #555;
}

.sidebar_icon i {
  font-size: 1.7rem;

.sidebar_items {
  background-color: #333;

}

.sidebar_item i {
  font-size: 1.3rem;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

.sidebar_item p {
  font-size: 1rem;
}

Note:

We create a state variable sidebarOpen to handle whether the sidebar is open or closed by default it is set to false.
We use onMouseEnter and onMouseLeave events to handle sidebar open and close.
When the sidebar is closed, we only show a button with a bar icon. And when the sidebar is open, we show the icons and the text of the items.
We also include CSS styles to make the sidebar look nice and responsive.

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any other questions, you can easily reach out to us here

What is an AI Assistant?

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.

SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯

SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?

Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!

What type of questions can I ask?

SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.

For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃

How do I ask a questions to the AI Assistant?

You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.

Here are some examples:

- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?

- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?

- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]

Can I ask as many questions as I want?

For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.

What if I have more questions?

In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!

Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪

How can I post my code?

Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.

- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).

- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.

- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃

Why the name Athena?

Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.

Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍

Will AI replace developers?

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩‍💻🤝💻
