Measured entry
shadcn-block-sidebar-07
A shadcn registry dashboard shell with an icon-collapsing sidebar, nested navigation, project actions, team switching, an account menu, breadcrumbs, and a content scaffold. It ships as React client components and a page, and depends on Tailwind theme tokens, shadcn sidebar and menu primitives, Radix UI, class-variance-authority, and Lucide icons.

Verdict
A solid dashboard starting point once its sample links and data are replaced. It needs a shadcn-style setup and does not build or mount bare because the expected utility module is absent. Fix the contrast and landmark structure, and provide the referenced avatar asset, before production use.
Use it if
- You need a dashboard shell with collapsible primary navigation and mobile-aware menus.
- Your product needs team switching, project links, and account actions in one sidebar.
- Your app already follows shadcn conventions and can replace the sample data and placeholder links.
Skip it if
- You need a standalone sidebar that can drop into a project without shadcn utilities and theme tokens.
- You cannot budget time to correct the contrast and duplicate main-landmark issues found by the audit.
- You want a small navigation primitive rather than a complete dashboard page shell.
- Your routing and account actions must work immediately, since the supplied content is sample data with placeholder links.
Install
| Declared dependencies | radix-ui, class-variance-authority, lucide-react |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
For a non-shadcn project, add Tailwind with the required theme tokens, configure the at-sign import alias, provide the class-merging utility under the expected lib path, copy the sidebar, breadcrumb, separator, collapsible, dropdown-menu, and avatar primitives, and install Radix UI, class-variance-authority, and Lucide React. Keep the interactive files client-rendered.
