Closing side menu by swiping the menu?

ionic-v1

Hi,
Is it possible to close the side menu by swiping it ?
Reading the docs, it doesn’t seem possible. Has anyone succeeded to do so ?
I know it is possible to close the side menu by swiping the main content but I want to close it by swiping the side menu (like in Gmail/Inbox app).

Thank you very much

Actually it was pretty simple. In your template :
<ion-side-menu side="left" on-swipe-left="appCtrl.closeMenu()">

and in your parent controller (mine is called appCtrl), just define the function closeMenu() :
this.closeMenu = function() { $ionicSideMenuDelegate.toggleLeft(); };
