GlassSidebar
A vertical sidebar that highlights the active route.
#Overview
#Install and Import
Install the package once, import the component from the public entry, and load styles a single time at the app root.
npm install aura-glassimport { GlassSidebar } from 'aura-glass'import 'aura-glass/styles';#Examples
Three baseline shapes flagship components use across docs and AI-agent guidance:
Basic
import { GlassSidebar } from 'aura-glass';
import 'aura-glass/styles';
const items = [
{ id: 'home', label: 'Home', href: '/' },
{ id: 'reports', label: 'Reports', href: '/reports' },
];
export function SidebarExample() {
return <GlassSidebar items={items} activeId="home" />;
}Production
import { GlassSidebar, GlassCard } from 'aura-glass';
import 'aura-glass/styles';
export function GlassSidebarSurface() {
return (
<GlassCard depth="medium" tint="neutral">
<GlassSidebar
aria-label="Navigation production surface"
/>
</GlassCard>
);
}Contained
In constrained previews, hide or contain collapse controls when available and keep labels visible. A sidebar should never mount a fixed control over unrelated page chrome.
#Accessibility
Keep navigation labels visible, mark the active item, and preserve tab order through links and actions.
#SSR and Performance
Import from the public package entrypoint, load `aura-glass/styles` once, and keep expensive data, media, or animation work outside the visual component unless the product needs it.
#Theming
Theme with public props, `className`, `style`, and AuraGlass CSS variables. Avoid private DOM selectors so the component can upgrade with the package.
