I’m currently working on a React application that utilizes the Shadcn UI Sidebar component. According to the documentation, I have wrapped my entire app within the SidebarProvider, as recommended. However, I’m facing an issue where I want to conditionally disable the sidebar on certain pages, but it seems that the SidebarProvider is still affecting those pages.
Here’s a brief overview of my setup:
I have multiple routes in my application, and on some of these routes, I do not want the sidebar to be displayed.
Despite disabling the sidebar in my routing logic, it appears that the SidebarProvider is still managing the state for all routes.
Has anyone else encountered a similar issue with the Shadcn UI Sidebar? How can I effectively manage the sidebar state when it needs to be conditionally rendered across different pages? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
I have experimented with the SidebarProvider props as outlined in the Shadcn UI documentation. Specifically, I adjusted the following props:
defaultOpen: I tested setting this to both true and false to see if it affected the initial state of the sidebar.
open: I tried controlling the sidebar’s open state by passing a boolean value to see if it would allow me to programmatically control visibility across different routes.
onOpenChange: I implemented a function to handle state changes when the sidebar opens or closes, attempting to manage the sidebar’s visibility based on my routing logic.
Despite these adjustments, I am still encountering issues where the sidebar appears on pages where it should be disabled.
I expected that by wrapping my application in SidebarProvider and using its props effectively, I could control the sidebar’s visibility based on the current route. Specifically, I wanted to ensure that on certain pages where I do not want the sidebar to display, it would remain hidden without affecting other routes where it is intended to be visible.
Has anyone else faced similar challenges with the Shadcn UI Sidebar? Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
