        .Name("drawer")
        .Template(@"<ul>
                <li data-role='drawer-item'>First Item</li>
                <li data-role='drawer-separator'></li>
                <li data-role='drawer-item'>Second Item</li>
                <li data-role='drawer-item' class='k-selected'>Third Item</li>
            </ul>")
        .Mode("push")
        .Position("left")
        .SwipeToOpen(true)
        .Content(@"<div style='height: 200px;'>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Error accusantium odit, optio nulla maiores quo neque fugit debitis dignissimos incidunt maxime?</div>")
    )
