Bootstrap 4 mobile nav bar slide from left

Question

I am using the latest version of bootstrap. Kind of tried various things on my own and after that I thought I might find something on stackoverflow. But kind didn't get the thing. I mean how it works?

This is my code. I am not gonna add any custom style here since they didn't really work that well instead they created some error.

I also checked this post also Bootstrap - How to slide nav bar from left instead from top I tried all the answer from there but it didn't work for me.

I checked the post before and I tried the answers there was. But the result was not that much satisfying. — ramzan00, May 12 '17 at 08:40
@shaochuancs this isnt a duplicate as the other question is for bootstrap 3 — Tom, Jul 17 '17 at 10:01

You can override the transition styles for the navbar-collapse like this...

Demo

@media (max-width: 992px) {
    .navbar-collapse {
        position: fixed;
        top: 50px; /* adjust to height of navbar */
        left: 0;
        padding-left: 15px;
        padding-right: 15px;
        padding-bottom: 15px;
        width: 75%;
        height: 100%;
    }

    .navbar-collapse.collapsing {
        left: -75%;
        transition: height 0s ease;
    }

    .navbar-collapse.show {
        left: 0;
        transition: left 300ms ease-in-out;
    }

    .navbar-toggler.collapsed ~ .navbar-collapse {
        transition: left 500ms ease-in-out;
    }
}

Demo - slide from right
Demo - slide from left
Demo - slide from left (full height)

Actually I had edit quite a bit from this code and it works but not quite satisfying so I will keep trying on that and if possible someone might share some better solution. — ramzan00, May 12 '17 at 16:10

Actually, you can use @Hrvoje Golcic's solution to implement the slide-from-left effect.

I checked your code and fixed some issues. Please check the following code snippet. You may need to define more CSS rules to style the navigation bar.

$(function(){
  // mobile menu slide from the left
  $('[data-toggle="slide-collapse"]').on('click', function() {
    $navMenuCont = $($(this).data('target'));
    $navMenuCont.animate({'width':'toggle'}, 280);
  });
})

    #navbarCollapse {
      position: fixed;
      top: 0;
      left: 0;
      z-index: 1;
      width: 280px; /*example + never use min-width with this solution */
      height: 100%;
      background: #000;
    }

    <nav class="navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-inverse fixed-top bg-inverse">

 <a class="navbar-brand" href="">Roknil Style</a>

It works but please check it in full page you will understand the problem. Thank you. — ramzan00, May 12 '17 at 15:58
@ramzan00 This is just a demo to show it works in mobile mode. If you open it in full page, it won't be in mobile mode again. — shaochuancs, May 12 '17 at 16:16
I think I got it. I will see if I can do something better with this code. Thank you btw — ramzan00, May 13 '17 at 08:17

The above CSS override does work. However, you have to wait for the height to transition first - causing a bit of a delay. The code below solves that.

 @media (max-width: 768px) {
        .navbar-collapse {
            position: fixed;
            top: 0;
            left: 0;
            padding-left: 15px;
            padding-right: 15px;
            padding-bottom: 15px;
            width: 75%;
            height: 100%;
        }

        .navbar-collapse.collapsing {
            left: -75%;
            transition: height 0s ease;
        }

        .navbar-collapse.show {
            left: 0;
            transition: left 500ms ease-in-out;
        }

        .navbar-toggler.collapsed ~ .navbar-collapse {
            transition: left 500ms ease-in-out;
        }
    }

@media(max-width:768px){
.navbar-collapse {
      position:fixed;
      left: 0%;
      padding: 15px;
      width:100%;
      top:0%;
      height:100%;
  }
  
  .navbar-collapse.collapsing {
      height: auto;
      -webkit-transition: left 0.3s ease;
      -o-transition: left 0.3s ease;
      -moz-transition: left 0.3s ease;
      transition: left 0.3s ease;
      left: -100%;
  }
  .navbar-collapse.show {
