v4 bootstrap full height sidebar

Question

I using the latest version of bootstrap and my siderbar is too short and not full height.
You can view it from here: http://srv.sniperjum.com/sh1omi/bootstrap-dev/
CSS: http://srv.sniperjum.com/sh1omi/bootstrap-dev/css/style.css
This problem is from my CSS or is it a problem from the bootstrap? and how can I fix it?

CSS

li.active{
    background-color: #428bca;
}
li {
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    padding-top: 5px;
}
.sidebar{
    background-color: #f5f5f5;
    padding-right: 20px;
    padding-top: 20px;
}

/* Sidebar navigation */
.nav-sidebar {
    margin-right: -21px; /* 20px padding + 1px border */
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    margin-left: -20px;
}
.nav-sidebar > li > a {
    padding-right: 20px;
    padding-left: 20px;
}
.nav-sidebar > .active > a,
.nav-sidebar > .active > a:hover,
.nav-sidebar > .active > a:focus {
    color: #fff;
    background-color: #428bca;
}
button{
    color: #fafafa
}

HTML

<nav class="navbar navbar-dark navbar-full bg-inverse">
    <button type="button" class="navbar-toggler" onclick="ToogleNavbar()">&#9776;</button>
</nav>
<div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="row" >
        <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-2 sidebar" id="Navbar">

Answer 1

Bootstrap 4 has changed since this question was asked, but you can make the sidebar full height using min-height..

.sidebar{
    background-color: #f5f5f5;
    padding-right: 20px;
    padding-top: 20px;
    min-height: calc(100vh - 50px);
}

Update Bootstrap 4.1

Flexbox can be used to allow the container and its child divs (row, col and sidebar) to fill height...

Answer 2

The easier way is to do something like that:

.sidebar {
    height: calc(100vh - 54px); /* 54 pixel is the height of your .navbar */
}
