Measured entry
shadcn-block-sidebar-14
A shadcn registry block for a right-side, documentation-style table of contents. It ships as a page plus an AppSidebar component, with breadcrumb and sidebar registry dependencies. It assumes React, Tailwind utility classes, the @ alias, and shadcn primitives backed by Radix UI, class-variance-authority, and Lucide.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 26.46s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/components/ui/breadcrumb.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A practical fit for documentation-style dashboards, but it needs a shadcn-style setup because the bare project cannot resolve the shared utility module. Replace the sample links and reconcile the page's main landmarks before shipping.
Use it if
- You need a right-hand navigation rail with grouped, nested documentation links.
- Your app already uses shadcn sidebar and breadcrumb primitives with the standard utility helper and path alias.
- You want a responsive sidebar shell that can collapse into the primitive's mobile interaction.
Skip it if
- You need a standalone component with no shadcn scaffold or shared utility module.
- You need production navigation data and router-aware links without replacing hardcoded sample content and placeholder anchors.
- You require a clean landmark audit out of the box and cannot reconcile the nested and duplicate main landmarks in your page shell.
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 the sidebar and breadcrumb primitives, the shared cn utility, the @ path alias, Tailwind styles and theme variables, plus Radix UI, class-variance-authority, and Lucide React. Retain the included sidebar provider around the layout.
