Components

The components in sidebar are built to be composable i.e you build your sidebar by putting the provided components together. They also compose well with other shadcn/ui components such as DropdownMenu, Collapsible or Dialog etc.

If you need to change the code in sidebar, you are encouraged to do so. The code is yours. Use sidebar.vue as a starting point and build your own.

In blocks the title has Sidebar you can see how it is used.
