Sidebar Menus
Configuring the navigation menu for dashboard pages
Defines the navigation menu for dashboard/admin pages, each item is NestedMenuItem.
export function getSidebarLinks(): NestedMenuItem[] {
const t = useTranslations('Dashboard');
return [
{
title: t('dashboard.title'),
icon: <LayoutDashboardIcon className="size-4 shrink-0" />,
href: Routes.Dashboard,
external: false,
},
{
title: t('admin.title'),
icon: <SettingsIcon className="size-4 shrink-0" />,
authorizeOnly: ['admin'],
items: [
{
title: t('admin.users.title'),
icon: <UsersRoundIcon className="size-4 shrink-0" />,
href: Routes.AdminUsers,
external: false,
},
// More admin items...
],
},
// More sidebar sections...
];
}The sidebar configuration is similar to the navbar but is specifically designed for the dashboard area. It supports:
- Top-level links with icons
- Expandable sections with nested items
- Only visible to specific roles through the
authorizeOnlyproperty
The sidebar is ideal for providing different menus based on user roles, such as ordinary users only seeing the dashboard, and administrators seeing the user management pages.
