Measured entry
shadcn-block-sidebar-12
A shadcn registry block for a calendar dashboard sidebar, with an inline date picker, collapsible calendar lists, a user menu, a sticky breadcrumb header, and placeholder content. It ships as editable React source rather than a standalone package and depends on shadcn UI primitives, Radix UI, Lucide icons, React Day Picker, date-fns, and the shared class-name utility.

Verdict
A credible starting shell for calendar products already built on shadcn, but not production-ready unchanged. Fix the contrast and landmark structure, wire real data and actions, and replace the missing sample asset. It needs a shadcn-style setup to build and mount.
Use it if
- You are building a calendar-focused dashboard and want account controls, date selection, and calendar filters in one sidebar.
- Your app already uses shadcn conventions and you are comfortable replacing the sample user, calendar data, and placeholder content.
- You need a responsive sidebar shell that mounts across phone, tablet, and desktop layouts without horizontal overflow.
Skip it if
- You need a general navigation sidebar without the weight and interaction model of an embedded calendar.
- You require an accessibility-clean starting point, since the tested output has a contrast issue and conflicting main landmarks.
- You want a drop-in package for a plain React project with no shadcn aliases, theme tokens, or shared UI primitives.
- Your release cannot tolerate unresolved asset requests until the sample avatar path is replaced or removed.
Install
| Declared dependencies | radix-ui, class-variance-authority, lucide-react, react-day-picker@latest, date-fns |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | react-day-picker@latest |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add the source alias and shared class-name utility, Tailwind theme tokens and global styles, the sidebar, breadcrumb, separator, collapsible, calendar, dropdown, and avatar primitives, plus Radix UI, class-variance-authority, Lucide React, React Day Picker, and date-fns. Also supply the sidebar provider and replace the sample avatar asset.
