Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @magicui/dock-demo

Requires @magicui in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import DockDemo from "@/registry/example/dock-demo"export default function Example() {  return <DockDemo />}
  • Show a compact primary navigation pattern for desktop interfaces.
  • Group navigation and social/contact links in a visually prominent footer or floating control.
  • Use as a starting point for an animated MacOS-style dock demonstration.
  • Present icon-only actions when labels can be supplied through tooltips and accessible names.

Examples

Centered site navigation

Render the demo as a standalone navigation section.

centered-site-navigation.tsx
import DockDemo from "@/registry/example/dock-demo"export default function NavigationSection() {  return (    <section className="flex min-h-[320px] items-center justify-center">      <DockDemo />    </section>  )}

Dark dashboard preview

Place the dock inside a dark preview surface.

dark-dashboard-preview.tsx
import DockDemo from "@/registry/example/dock-demo"export default function DashboardPreview() {  return (    <div className="min-h-[360px] rounded-xl bg-slate-950 p-8 text-white">      <DockDemo />    </div>  )}

Landing-page navigation demo

Use the example in a responsive hero or showcase area.

landing-page-navigation-demo.tsx
import DockDemo from "@/registry/example/dock-demo"export default function DockShowcase() {  return (    <main className="grid min-h-screen place-items-center px-6">      <DockDemo />    </main>  )}

Accessibility

  • The component has no public props.
  • Navigation and social links receive aria-label values such as “Home”, “Blog”, “GitHub”, and “Send Email”.
  • Tooltips provide visible labels for the icon-only links.
  • The links use Next.js Link elements and button-style focusable controls, supporting keyboard navigation.
  • The custom LinkedIn, X, YouTube, and GitHub SVGs include title elements; the rendered links still provide the primary accessible names.
  • The example currently uses # URLs, so replace them with real destinations before shipping.
