如何在 SB-Admin 引导模板中突出显示选定的导航菜单？

Question

I am using SB-ADMIN bootstrap template in my project. I want to high light the selected Menu. I tried this code, the navigation menu will be highlighted But the right side container it's not loaded. Please find the attached file.

$("#exampleAccordion").on("click", function(event){
    $("#exampleAccordion").find("li").removeClass('active');
    $(event.target).closest("li").addClass('active');
    event.preventDefault();
});

Its better to handle it in the script side. If you still want to use js for it, then use the following code. This should be attached to each page.

Assumes that you are using relative url for menu link. like /abc/cdf/chart.html . If not change the logic in the $(this).attr('href') == window.location.pathname condition

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#exampleAccordion a").each(function (index, element) {
        if ($(this).attr('href') == window.location.pathname) {
            $(this).parent().addClass("active");
        }
    });
});

The code will check the current url path with the menu urls, and if finds any match, then it will add class( active ) to the parent

Following with the suggestion from @Aneesh but for the SB Admin 2, considering the nested collapsed items, I came up with this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    console.log(window.location.pathname);
    $("#accordionSidebar a").each(function(index, element) {
        if ($(element).attr('href') == window.location.pathname) {
            if ($(element).hasClass('collapse-item') == true) {
                $(element).parent().parent().parent().addClass("active");
                $(element).parent().parent().addClass("show");
                $(element).addClass("active");
            } else {
                $(element).parent().addClass("active");
            }
        }
    });
});
