+## Creating a Slide Over
+You can run `php artisan make:livewire ShoppingCart` to make the initial Livewire component. Open your component class and make sure it extends the `SlideOverComponent` class:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace App\Livewire;
+
+use Laravelcm\LivewireSlideOvers\SlideOverComponent;
+
+class ShoppingCart extends SlideOverComponent
+{
+    public function render()
+    {
+        return view('livewire.shopping-cart');
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Opening a Slide over
+To open a slide over you will need to dispatch an event. To open the `ShoppingCart` slide over for example:
 
+```html
+<!-- Outside of any Livewire component -->
+<button onclick="Livewire.dispatch('openPanel', { component: 'shopper-cart' })">View cart</button>
+
+<!-- Inside existing Livewire component -->
+<button wire:click="$dispatch('openPanel', { component: 'shopping-cart' })">View cart</button>
+
+<!-- Taking namespace into account for component Shop/Actions/ShoppingCart -->
+<button wire:click="$dispatch('openPanel', { component: 'shop.actions.shopping-cart' })">View cart</button>
+```
