<div class="sidebar"><nav><!-- menu items go here --></nav>
And the magic happens in your stylesheet with this snippet:flexible grid setup
. sidebar {display:grid;gap :16px; /'' space between rows/columns ''/padding-left:20%; // Adjust as needed for sidebar}. menu-items{list-style:none outside none ;margin-bottom:auto ;}/'' Media Queries to handle responsive behavior/@media (max-width:759.84px) {. sidebar {grid-template-columns : repeat(auto-fill, min-max(16rem, max-content)); }}This setup ensures that your sidebar scales beautifully with screen size changes.
