Usage
usage.tsx
import Page from "@/components/sidebar-layouts/sidebar-layouts";export default function Dashboard() { return <Page />;}- Use as the starting shell for SaaS dashboards, admin panels, and internal tools.
- Use when navigation needs primary links, nested collapsible items, and a separate projects section.
- Use when the sidebar should collapse responsively and preserve a spacious main content area.
- Use when you want accessible sidebar primitives integrated with a scrollable navigation region.
Examples
Default dashboard shell
Renders the complete sidebar layout with the included navigation data and placeholder content.
default-dashboard-shell.tsx
import Page from "@/components/sidebar-layouts/sidebar-layouts";export default function DashboardPage() { return <Page />;}Icon-collapsed sidebar
Uses the AppSidebar with the underlying Sidebar component's icon collapse mode.
icon-collapsed-sidebar.tsx
import { SidebarProvider } from "@/components/ui/sidebar";import { AppSidebar } from "@/components/sidebar-layouts/components/app-sidebar";export default function CompactDashboard() { return ( <SidebarProvider> <AppSidebar collapsible="icon" /> <main className="flex-1 p-6">Dashboard content</main> </SidebarProvider> );}Primary navigation with nested items
Supplies custom primary navigation items with an initially expanded active group.
primary-navigation-with-nested-items.tsx
import { BookOpen, Settings2 } from "lucide-react";import { NavMain } from "@/components/sidebar-layouts/components/nav-main";export default function CustomPrimaryNavigation() { return ( <NavMain items={[ { title: "Documentation", url: "/docs", icon: BookOpen, isActive: true, items: [ { title: "Getting started", url: "/docs/getting-started" }, { title: "API reference", url: "/docs/api" } ] }, { title: "Settings", url: "/settings", icon: Settings2 } ]} /> );}Project navigation
Renders project links using Lucide icons and Next.js links.
project-navigation.tsx
import { Frame, PieChart } from "lucide-react";import { NavProjects } from "@/components/sidebar-layouts/components/nav-projects";export default function ProjectsNavigation() { return ( <NavProjects projects={[ { name: "Design Engineering", url: "/projects/design", icon: Frame }, { name: "Sales Analytics", url: "/projects/sales", icon: PieChart } ]} /> );}API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
Pagenull—The default page component accepts no props. It renders SidebarProvider, AppSidebar, SidebarInset, AppHeader, and the placeholder content area.
AppSidebarReact.ComponentProps<typeof Sidebar>—All props accepted by the imported Sidebar primitive. The component also renders the fixed Acme Inc / Enterprise brand block and the included navigation data.
NavMain.items{ title: string; url: string; icon: LucideIcon; isActive?: boolean; items?: { title: string; url: string }[] }[]—Required primary navigation data. Each item has a title, URL, and Lucide icon; isActive controls the default expanded state for collapsible items, and items adds nested links.
NavProjects.projects{ name: string; url: string; icon: LucideIcon }[]—Required project navigation data. Each project supplies a display name, URL, and Lucide icon.
Accessibility
- Use the complete Page composition inside SidebarProvider so SidebarTrigger and sidebar state management work correctly.
- SidebarTrigger provides the interactive control for opening or collapsing the sidebar.
- Navigation items render as links with visible text; icon-only sidebar states receive tooltips from NavMain's tooltip prop.
- Nested navigation has a screen-reader-only Toggle label for the collapsible action.
- The header uses a semantic header element, and the navigation is built from sidebar menu primitives.
- Replace placeholder # URLs with meaningful destinations and ensure each destination has an appropriate active-state treatment in the surrounding application.
