Is there a way to fetch dynamic sidebar menu data from the database using AJAX in the adminlte 3 dashboard along with bootstrap 4? I have tried loading the sidebar menu data dynamically using AJAX, but the sidebar open/close functionality is not working properly. Here is my JSFiddle URL for reference. The menu works fine when static data is pushed to the '.sidebar' class without AJAX, but it fails to function as expected when AJAX is used.
$(document).ready(function(){
var url = "";
$.ajax({
url: url,
}).done(function(resp){
//retrieve data
var ret = '<nav class="mt-2"><ul class="nav nav-pills nav-sidebar flex-column" data-widget="treeview" role="menu" data-accordion="true"><li class="nav-item"><a href="#" class="nav-link"><i class="nav-icon fas fas fa-user"></i><p>Admin<i class="right fas fa-angle-left"></i></p></a><ul class="nav nav-treeview"><li class="nav-item"><a href="#add-order.php" class="nav-link"><i class="far fa-circle nav-icon"></i><p>Rahim</p></a></li></ul><ul class="nav nav-treeview"><li class="nav-item"><a href="#" class="nav-link"><i class="far fa-circle nav-icon"></i><p>Test</p></a></li></ul></li></ul></nav>';
$('.sidebar').html(ret);
});
