Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @magicui/dock-demo-2

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

Usage

usage.tsx
import DockDemo from "@/registry/magicui/dock-demo-2"<DockDemo />
  • Show a polished application or navigation dock with a small set of favorite services.
  • Use as a starting point for a desktop-style launcher or quick-access toolbar.
  • Demonstrate the Dock and DockIcon components with custom inline SVG icon content.

Examples

Render the complete dock demo

Use the registry example as a self-contained component.

render-the-complete-dock-demo.tsx
import DockDemo from "@/registry/magicui/dock-demo-2"export default function Example() {  return <DockDemo />}

Place the dock in a page section

Render the dock demo inside a layout container.

place-the-dock-in-a-page-section.tsx
import DockDemo from "@/registry/magicui/dock-demo-2"export default function DashboardFooter() {  return (    <section className="flex min-h-32 items-center justify-center">      <DockDemo />    </section>  )}

Use it in a client component

The registry item is already marked as a client component and can be rendered from a client-side page component.

use-it-in-a-client-component.tsx
"use client"import DockDemo from "@/registry/magicui/dock-demo-2"export default function Workspace() {  return <DockDemo />}

Accessibility

  • The exported DockDemo component accepts no props.
  • The four SVG icons do not define accessible names such as aria-label or title in this example.
  • If DockIcon instances are made interactive, provide an accessible name for each icon-only action and ensure keyboard focus and activation are supported.
  • Do not rely on the brand shapes alone to communicate the destination or action; pair interactive icons with labels, tooltips, or equivalent accessible text.
