About
A collapsible app sidebar that shrinks to an icon rail, with sections, badges, a user footer and an animated active item. The base for dashboards and SaaS app shells.
Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Sidebar to your project and fits it to your theme.
Code
How Sidebar is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.
