make a sidebar from react-bootstrap

Question

I am trying to create a bootstrap sidebar like this picture here.

I have looked at all the code on React-bootstrap and twitter bootstrap and I am yet to find a how-to code this. basically if they are viewing on a desktop I want the sidebar to be visible if not then it to be hidden.

the side bar should stay still while the content on the page scrolls up and down.

Any assistance here would be much appreciated

Ok so for people who want to make a sidebar sadly the news is you gotta make it all yourself.

What I have done is the following.

1. See the example at https://github.com/StartBootstrap/startbootstrap-simple-sidebar
2. Create sidebar.js somewhere in your app.

import React from "react";
import {Nav} from "react-bootstrap";
import { withRouter } from "react-router";
import '../pages/style/Dashboard.css'

const Side = props => {
   

    return (
        <>
    
            <Nav className="col-md-12 d-none d-md-block bg-light sidebar"
            activeKey="/home"
            onSelect={selectedKey => alert(`selected ${selectedKey}`)}
            >
                <div className="sidebar-sticky"></div>
            <Nav.Item>
                <Nav.Link href="/home">Active</Nav.Link>
            </Nav.Item>
            <Nav.Item>
                <Nav.Link eventKey="link-1">Link</Nav.Link>
            </Nav.Item>
            <Nav.Item>
                <Nav.Link eventKey="link-2">Link</Nav.Link>
            </Nav.Item>
            <Nav.Item>
                <Nav.Link eventKey="disabled" disabled>
                Disabled
                </Nav.Link>
            </Nav.Item>
            </Nav>
          
        </>
        );
  };
  const Sidebar = withRouter(Side);
  export default Sidebar

3. My Dashboard.css has the following in it.

 .sidebar {
        position: fixed;
        top: 0;
        bottom: 0;
        left: 0;
        min-height: 100vh !important;
        z-index: 100;
        padding: 48px 0 0;
        box-shadow: inset -1px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
    }
    #sidebar-wrapper{
        min-height: 100vh !important;
        width: 100vw;
        margin-left: -1rem;
        -webkit-transition: margin .25s ease-out;
        -moz-transition: margin .25s ease-out;
        -o-transition: margin .25s ease-out;
        transition: margin .25s ease-out;
    }
    #sidebar-wrapper .sidebar-heading {
        padding: 0.875rem 1.25rem;
        font-size: 1.2rem;
    }
    
    #page-content-wrapper {
        min-width: 0;
        width: 100%;
    }

Then final step In the file you want it to be show in do the following

import React from "react";
import {Container, Row, Col, Card, Form, Button } from "react-bootstrap";
import { withRouter } from "react-router";
import Sidebar from "../moduls/sidebar.js";
import './style/Dashboard.css'

const Dash = props => {
   

    return (
        <>
         <Container fluid>
                <Row>
                    <Col xs={2} id="sidebar-wrapper">      
                      <Sidebar />
                    </Col>
                    <Col  xs={10} id="page-content-wrapper">
                        this is a test
                    </Col> 
                </Row>

            </Container>
        </>
        );
  };
  const Dashboard = withRouter(Dash);
  export default Dashboard
