Topic: How to add an icon to a SideNavLink
How do you add icons to top level navigation links and get them lined up with SideNavCat elements?
For example, on the MDB React website, the sidenav has MDB React Pro, Products, Getting Started, etc.
MDB React Pro is a link, not a cat... how do you add icons to these types of links and how do you get them to line up with the cat links?

Hello,
I'm not sure what are you asking for. We created our sidenav with Context API so we can provide our props through all tree components that we want. We are using prop icon
to mdbsidenavcat.
<MDBSideNavNav>
<MDBSideNavLink to='/other-page' topLevel>
<MDBIcon icon='pencil-alt' className='mr-2' />
Submit listing
</MDBSideNavLink>
<MDBSideNavCat
name='Submit blog'
id='submit-blog'
icon='chevron-right'
>
<MDBSideNavLink>Submit listing</MDBSideNavLink>
<MDBSideNavLink>Registration form</MDBSideNavLink>
</MDBSideNavCat>
<MDBSideNavCat
name='Instruction'
id='instruction'
icon='hand-pointer'
href='#'
>
<MDBSideNavLink>For bloggers</MDBSideNavLink>
<MDBSideNavLink>For authors</MDBSideNavLink>
</MDBSideNavCat>
<MDBSideNavCat name='About' id='about' icon='eye'>
<MDBSideNavLink>Instruction</MDBSideNavLink>
<MDBSideNavLink>Monthly meetings</MDBSideNavLink>
</MDBSideNavCat>
<MDBSideNavCat
name='Contact me'
id='contact-me'
icon='envelope'
>
<MDBSideNavLink>FAQ</MDBSideNavLink>
<MDBSideNavLink>Write a message</MDBSideNavLink>
</MDBSideNavCat>
</MDBSideNavNav>
</MDBSideNav>
