React Sidebar - Flowbite
Use the sidebar component to show a list of menu items including multi-level dropdown menu on the left or right side of your page for admin dashboards and applications
The sidebar component is an UI component that you can use for the navigation mechanism in your website or application that you would position to the left or right side of your page.
A sidebar can include content such as menu list items, dropdown, user profile information, CTA buttons, and more - you can use the custom props from React to customize the options and the utility classes from Tailwind CSS to update the styles.
To start using the sidebar component make sure you import it from the Flowbite React library:
'use client';
import { Sidebar } from 'flowbite-react';
Default sidebar
Use this example to show a list of navigation menu items by adding <Sidebar.Item> children components inside the <Sidebar> component and pass the href prop to set a URL and icon to apply any icons from the react-icons icon library.
You can also add a text label as a badge by using the label prop from React and the labelColor to set the color of the label background.
