    SidebarProvider - Handles collapsible state.
    Sidebar - The sidebar container.
    SidebarHeader and SidebarFooter - Sticky at the top and bottom of the sidebar.
    SidebarContent - Scrollable content.
    SidebarGroup - Section within the SidebarContent.
    SidebarTrigger - Trigger for the Sidebar.

Sidebar Structure
Usage

app/layout.tsx

import { SidebarProvider, SidebarTrigger } from "@/components/ui/sidebar"
import { AppSidebar } from "@/components/app-sidebar"
 
export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <SidebarProvider>
      <AppSidebar />
      <main>
        <SidebarTrigger />
        {children}
      </main>
    </SidebarProvider>
  )
}

components/app-sidebar.tsx

import {
  Sidebar,
  SidebarContent,
  SidebarFooter,
  SidebarGroup,
  SidebarHeader,
} from "@/components/ui/sidebar"
 
export function AppSidebar() {
  return (
    <Sidebar>
      <SidebarHeader />
      <SidebarContent>
        <SidebarGroup />
        <SidebarGroup />
      </SidebarContent>
      <SidebarFooter />
    </Sidebar>
  )
}

Let's start with the most basic sidebar. A collapsible sidebar with a menu.

Add a SidebarProvider and SidebarTrigger at the root of your application.

app/layout.tsx

import { SidebarProvider, SidebarTrigger } from "@/components/ui/sidebar"
import { AppSidebar } from "@/components/app-sidebar"
 
export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <SidebarProvider>
      <AppSidebar />
      <main>
        <SidebarTrigger />
        {children}
      </main>
    </SidebarProvider>
  )
}

Create a new sidebar component at components/app-sidebar.tsx.

components/app-sidebar.tsx

import { Sidebar, SidebarContent } from "@/components/ui/sidebar"
 
export function AppSidebar() {
  return (
    <Sidebar>
      <SidebarContent />
    </Sidebar>
  )
}

Now, let's add a SidebarMenu to the sidebar.

We'll use the SidebarMenu component in a SidebarGroup.

components/app-sidebar.tsx

import { Calendar, Home, Inbox, Search, Settings } from "lucide-react"
 
import {
  Sidebar,
  SidebarContent,
  SidebarGroup,
  SidebarGroupContent,
  SidebarGroupLabel,
  SidebarMenu,
  SidebarMenuButton,
  SidebarMenuItem,
} from "@/components/ui/sidebar"
 
// Menu items.
const items = [
  {
    title: "Home",
    url: "#",
    icon: Home,
  },
  {
    title: "Inbox",
    url: "#",
    icon: Inbox,
  },
  {
    title: "Calendar",
    url: "#",
    icon: Calendar,
  },
  {
    title: "Search",
    url: "#",
    icon: Search,
  },
  {
    title: "Settings",
    url: "#",
    icon: Settings,
  },
]
 
export function AppSidebar() {
  return (
    <Sidebar>
      <SidebarContent>
        <SidebarGroup>
          <SidebarGroupLabel>Application</SidebarGroupLabel>
          <SidebarGroupContent>
            <SidebarMenu>
              {items.map((item) => (
                <SidebarMenuItem key={item.title}>
                  <SidebarMenuButton asChild>
                    <a href={item.url}>
                      <item.icon />
                      <span>{item.title}</span>
                    </a>
                  </SidebarMenuButton>
                </SidebarMenuItem>
              ))}
            </SidebarMenu>
          </SidebarGroupContent>
        </SidebarGroup>
      </SidebarContent>
    </Sidebar>
  )
}

You've created your first sidebar.

Your first sidebar.
Components

The components in sidebar.tsx are built to be composable i.e you build your sidebar by putting the provided components together. They also compose well with other shadcn/ui components such as DropdownMenu, Collapsible or Dialog etc.

If you need to change the code in sidebar.tsx, you are encouraged to do so. The code is yours. Use sidebar.tsx as a starting point and build your own.

In the next sections, we'll go over each component and how to use them.

The SidebarProvider component is used to provide the sidebar context to the Sidebar component. You should always wrap your application in a SidebarProvider component.
Props
Name	Type	Description
defaultOpen	boolean	Default open state of the sidebar.
open	boolean	Open state of the sidebar (controlled).
onOpenChange	(open: boolean) => void	Sets open state of the sidebar (controlled).
Width

If you have a single sidebar in your application, you can use the SIDEBAR_WIDTH and SIDEBAR_WIDTH_MOBILE variables in sidebar.tsx to set the width of the sidebar.

components/ui/sidebar.tsx

const SIDEBAR_WIDTH = "16rem"
const SIDEBAR_WIDTH_MOBILE = "18rem"

For multiple sidebars in your application, you can use the style prop to set the width of the sidebar.

To set the width of the sidebar, you can use the --sidebar-width and --sidebar-width-mobile CSS variables in the style prop.

components/ui/sidebar.tsx

<SidebarProvider
  style={{
    "--sidebar-width": "20rem",
    "--sidebar-width-mobile": "20rem",
  }}
>
  <Sidebar />
</SidebarProvider>

This will handle the width of the sidebar but also the layout spacing.
Keyboard Shortcut

The SIDEBAR_KEYBOARD_SHORTCUT variable is used to set the keyboard shortcut used to open and close the sidebar.

To trigger the sidebar, you use the cmd+b keyboard shortcut on Mac and ctrl+b on Windows.

You can change the keyboard shortcut by updating the SIDEBAR_KEYBOARD_SHORTCUT variable.

components/ui/sidebar.tsx

const SIDEBAR_KEYBOARD_SHORTCUT = "b"

Persisted State

The SidebarProvider supports persisting the sidebar state across page reloads and server-side rendering. It uses cookies to store the current state of the sidebar. When the sidebar state changes, a default cookie named sidebar:state is set with the current open/closed state. This cookie is then read on subsequent page loads to restore the sidebar state.

To persist sidebar state in Next.js, set up your SidebarProvider in app/layout.tsx like this:

app/layout.tsx

import { cookies } from "next/headers"
 
import { SidebarProvider, SidebarTrigger } from "@/components/ui/sidebar"
import { AppSidebar } from "@/components/app-sidebar"
 
export async function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  const defaultOpen = cookieStore.get("sidebar:state")?.value === "true"
 
  return (
    <SidebarProvider defaultOpen={defaultOpen}>
      <AppSidebar />
      <main>
        <SidebarTrigger />
        {children}
      </main>
    </SidebarProvider>
  )
}

You can change the name of the cookie by updating the SIDEBAR_COOKIE_NAME variable in sidebar.tsx.

components/ui/sidebar.tsx

const SIDEBAR_COOKIE_NAME = "sidebar:state"

The main Sidebar component used to render a collapsible sidebar.

import { Sidebar } from "@/components/ui/sidebar"
 
export function AppSidebar() {
  return <Sidebar />
}

    <main>{children}</main>
  </SidebarInset>
</SidebarProvider>

  return <Sidebar collapsible="offcanvas | icon | none" />
}

Prop	Description

The useSidebar hook is used to control the sidebar.

export function AppSidebar() {
  const {
    state,
    open,
    setOpen,
    openMobile,

Use the SidebarHeader component to add a sticky header to the sidebar.

components/app-sidebar.tsx

<Sidebar>
  <SidebarHeader>
    <SidebarMenu>

            <SidebarMenuButton>
              Select Workspace
              <ChevronDown className="ml-auto" />
            </SidebarMenuButton>
          </DropdownMenuTrigger>
          <DropdownMenuContent className="w-[--radix-popper-anchor-width]">
            <DropdownMenuItem>
              <span>Acme Inc</span>
            </DropdownMenuItem>
            <DropdownMenuItem>
              <span>Acme Corp.</span>
            </DropdownMenuItem>
          </DropdownMenuContent>
        </DropdownMenu>

export function AppSidebar() {
  return (
    <SidebarProvider>
      <Sidebar>
        <SidebarHeader />
        <SidebarContent />
        <SidebarFooter>
          <SidebarMenu>
            <SidebarMenuItem>
              <DropdownMenu>
                <DropdownMenuTrigger asChild>
                  <SidebarMenuButton>
                    <User2 /> Username
                    <ChevronUp className="ml-auto" />

                <DropdownMenuContent
                  side="top"
                  className="w-[--radix-popper-anchor-width]"
                >
                  <DropdownMenuItem>

                  </DropdownMenuItem>
                  <DropdownMenuItem>
                    <span>Sign out</span>
                  </DropdownMenuItem>
                </DropdownMenuContent>
