Variations
The default drawer style is “modal” which swipes the navigation above the content area.
Other available variations are “dismissible”, “permanent” and “permanent (large screen), dismissible (small screen)”. In contrast to the modal drawer all those styles show the navigation drawer next to the content area and thus reduce its available space.
While the dismissible drawer can be opened or closed by the user, the permanent drawer is always visible. The mix between dismissible and permanent makes it possible to always show the drawer on large screens and enables the website visitor to show/hide it on smaller screens.

Show drawer below Top App Bar
If the drawer is shown below the top app bar then the header will be removed from the drawer.
Expandable Submenus
By default submenus within a drawer menu are collapsed. By clicking on the small arrow or the parent menu name then the submenu will expand. By disabling this feature all menu items will be always visible.
Display Search
By activating this option a search field will be shown above the drawer menu.
