Getting a li-element in sidebar correctly stick at the bottom-CodePudding

I'm adopting the dashboard example from https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/examples/dashboard/ for a custom page. I'm now trying to add an li element (or a second ul) that sticks at the bottom of the sidebar. The li shall contain a button which streches over the complete width of the sidebar. I already tried adding fixed-bottom which worked for placing the li element at the bottom but the button (width: 100%) is now stretching over the complete page. So I'm not sure if fixed-buttom is the right way to go for.

<div >   
    <nav id="sidebarMenu" >
        <div >
            <ul >
                <li >1</li>
                <li >2</li>
                <li >3</li>
            </ul>
            <!-- this shall be sticky at the bottom of the sidebar -->
            <ul >
            <li>
                <div  style="width:100%">
                <button type="button"  data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">my button</button>
                <ul >
                    <li >1</li>
                    <li >2</li>
                </ul>
                </div>
            </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </nav>

    <main >
        <!-- CONTENT -->
    </main>
</div>

CodePudding user response：

Here you go...

Basically, make two div elements (upper_part and lower_part). Add the following CSS:

#upper_part {
    height: 80%; /* 80%   20% = 100% */
}

#lower_part {
    height: 20%; /* 80%   20% = 100% */
    padding: 3%;
    padding-bottom: 10%;
}

.my_button {
    width: 100%; /* Make the button full-width. */
}

See the snippet below.

body {
  font-size: .875rem;
}

.feather {
  width: 16px;
  height: 16px;
  vertical-align: text-bottom;
}

.sidebar {

  /* rtl:raw:

  bottom: 0;
  /* rtl:remove */
  left: 0;
  z-index: 100;
  /* Behind the navbar */
  padding: 48px 0 0;
  /* Height of navbar */
  box-shadow: inset -1px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
}

@media (max-width: 767.98px) {
  .sidebar {

  }
}

.sidebar-sticky {
  position: relative;
  top: 0;
  height: calc(100vh - 48px);
  padding-top: .5rem;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  overflow-y: auto;
  /* Scrollable contents if viewport is shorter than content. */
}

.sidebar .nav-link {

  border-color: transparent;
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(255, 255, 255, .25);
