Description

Another similar issue was posted 4 years ago: https://github.com/nativescript-community/ui-drawer/issues/13

However, in late 2025, no example exists for NS Core TS or JS for this plugin. It would be extremely helpful if there was a simple example. Many of us are still learning NS and can't spend days trying to figure out a new plugin.

Further, I'm told in the Discord chat that we should use the "community-based alternative" to RadSideDrawer. Is there any way you could get a TS and JS template made that uses this plugin and replaces the template for RadSideDrawer and made official in the public docs?

Research direction

Start with the existing template-drawer-navigation-ts template and the NativeScript official starter templates documentation linked in the issue; also review the earlier ui-drawer issue for context. Determine how a TypeScript and JavaScript example should replace the RadSideDrawer template, and consider the work complete when both templates and the public documentation are updated.
