DashboardSidebarLinks

Usage

Pass a tree of links with their children to the links prop of the DashboardSidebarLinks component.

Each link can have a label, icon, avatar, chip, badge, tooltip, etc. (see the props section for more details). You can also pass any property from the NuxtLink component such as to, target, exact, etc.

<script setup lang="ts">
const links = [{
  label: 'Home',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-home',
  tooltip: {
    text: 'Home',
    shortcuts: ['G', 'H']
  }
}, {
  label: 'Inbox',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-inbox',
  badge: '4',
  tooltip: {
    text: 'Inbox',
    shortcuts: ['G', 'I']
  }
}, {
  label: 'Users',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-user-group',
  tooltip: {
    text: 'Users',
    shortcuts: ['G', 'U']
  }
}, {
  label: 'Settings',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-cog-8-tooth',
  children: [{
    label: 'General'
  }, {
    label: 'Members'
  }, {
    label: 'Notifications'
  }],
  tooltip: {
    text: 'Settings',
    shortcuts: ['G', 'S']
  }
}]
</script>

<template>
  <UDashboardSidebarLinks :links="links" />
</template>

The children have a specific style with a dot and a border when no icon, avatar or chip is provided.

Collapsible

You can use the collapsible attribute (defaults to true) to prevent a link with children from being collapsible.

<script setup lang="ts">
const links = [{
  label: 'Settings',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-cog-8-tooth',
  collapsible: false,
  children: [{
    label: 'General'
  }, {
    label: 'Members'
  }, {
    label: 'Notifications'
  }]
}]
</script>

<template>
  <UDashboardSidebarLinks :links="links" />
</template>

Default open

You can use the defaultOpen attribute (defaults to true) to make a collapsible link (with children) open by default.

This can be useful if you want to control the open state based on the current route.

<script setup lang="ts">
const route = useRoute()

const links = computed(() => [{
  label: 'Settings',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-cog-8-tooth',
  defaultOpen: route.path.startsWith('/settings'),
  children: [{
    label: 'General'
  }, {
    label: 'Members'
  }, {
    label: 'Notifications'
  }]
}])
</script>

<template>
  <UDashboardSidebarLinks :links="links" />
</template>

Draggable

You can use the draggable attribute to make the children draggable. You'll need to listen to the @update:links event to update your links.

<script setup lang="ts">
const colors = ref(['green', 'teal', 'cyan', 'sky', 'blue', 'indigo', 'violet'].map(color => ({ label: color, chip: color })))

const links = computed(() => [{
  label: 'Favorites',
  draggable: true,
  children: colors.value
}])
</script>

<template>
  <UDashboardSidebarLinks :links="links" @update:links="links => colors = links" />
</template>

You can use multiple instances of the DashboardSidebarLinks component inside the DashboardSidebar component to create different sections.
