  $this = $(this);
  $sidenav = $('.ct-sidenav');
  if ($this.hasClass('active')) {
    $this.removeClass('active');
    return $sidenav.removeClass('active');
  } else {

});
$('#sidenav-toggle').on('click', function() {
  var $sidenav, $this;
  $this = $(this);
  $sidenav = $('.ct-sidenav');
  if ($this.hasClass('open')) {
    $this.removeClass('open');
    return $sidenav.removeClass('open');
  } else {
    $this.addClass('open');
    return $sidenav.addClass('open');
  }
});
$('.ct-sidenav').find('button.close').on('click', function() {
  $(this).parent().removeClass('open');
  return $('#sidenav-toggle').removeClass('open');
});
