When to use it

Use Sidebar for the main navigation of an app or dashboard. It collapses to a rail of icons with tooltips, groups items under labels, and shows counts as badges. Pass render to use your router's Link so navigation stays client-side.

Installation

How you get it

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any coding agent. It installs the file and uses it as it is, instead of writing a new one.

Use Liro's Sidebar for this.
Install it: npx shadcn@latest add @liro/sidebar
(the @liro registry is set up in components.json, with LIRO_KEY in .env.local)
Import it from @/components/ui/sidebar.
Do not rewrite or restyle it. Pass my data through its props
and keep its built-in states.

For the full brief with every prop and the mistakes assistants usually make, use Copy prompt above. Pro components install through the @liro registry with your CLI token: see the Namespaced tab.

Usage

components/app-sidebar.tsx

"use client";

import Link from "next/link";
import { usePathname } from "next/navigation";
import * as React from "react";
import { CreditCard, LayoutDashboard, Users } from "lucide-react";
import { Sidebar, SidebarGroup, SidebarItem } from "@/components/ui/sidebar";

const NAV = [
  { href: "/", label: "Overview", icon: <LayoutDashboard /> },
  { href: "/members", label: "Members", icon: <Users /> },
  { href: "/billing", label: "Billing", icon: <CreditCard /> },
];

export function AppSidebar() {
  const pathname = usePathname();
  const [collapsed, setCollapsed] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <Sidebar collapsed={collapsed} onCollapsedChange={setCollapsed}>
      <SidebarGroup label="Workspace">
        {NAV.map((item) => (
          <SidebarItem
            key={item.href}
            icon={item.icon}
            active={pathname === item.href}
            render={(props) => <Link {...props} href={item.href} />}
          >
            {item.label}
          </SidebarItem>
        ))}
      </SidebarGroup>
    </Sidebar>
  );
}
