Feature request: Option to have the navbar slide out from a side on mobile devices

[rohithpr]

Many native applications designed for mobile devices have menus that slide out from a side. Bootstrap navbar's slide out from the top. It would be really cool if we have the option to get something that slides out from a side.

While this could be done by using CSS and some hidden-xs (etc.) classes, having the option within bootstrap itself would make life simpler.

There's the Off-canvas navigation example: http://getbootstrap.com/examples/offcanvas/

Duplicate of #9481.

@cvrebert - The example that you've provided does not turn the navbar that's on top into a side menu. That still slides out from the top. A menu that's already in the side appears from the side.
What I had in mind when I opened this issue was something like this.

[cvrebert]

Right, I didn't say it was exactly the same. It's pretty similar though.

So there's no chance that you'll provide this option? :(

[cvrebert]

Not for v3. It's a possibility for v4, but no promises.

@cvrebert - Now that v4 is being readied, I'd like to bring your attention to this. Any chance of this becoming a feature on v4? :)

This falls under the

bullet point on #17021.
So really there hasn't been any change since my previous comment.

Even that example doesnt quite cover it, what we need is that the content stays in place but the sliding menu appears on top
