✨ What's New

Sidebar Plugin Documentation

Comprehensive documentation for the community-created Payload Sidebar Plugin by Kari (tatsuyakari1203) - a powerful navigation enhancement for Payload CMS 3.x.

Why This Matters:
Transform your Payload admin interface with advanced navigation features that improve user experience and productivity:

• Organize navigation with custom groups and ordering
• Pin frequently-used items for quick access (persisted per-user)
• Add custom links to dashboards, tools, and external resources
• Display notification counts with multi-color badges
• Full i18n support for multilingual admin panels

Key Features:

• Zero-config setup - Works immediately after installation
• Sortable groups - Control the order of navigation sections
• User-specific pinning - Each user maintains their own pinned items
• Custom links & groups - Add internal admin views or external resources
• Visual badges - Show counts with 6 color options (red, orange, yellow, blue, green, gray)
• Lucide icons - Use any Lucide icon or custom components
• Flexible storage - Server-side preferences or localStorage

Quick Start:

npm install payload-sidebar-plugin

import { payloadSidebar } from 'payload-sidebar-plugin'

export default buildConfig({
  plugins: [
    payloadSidebar({
      groupOrder: { Content: 1, Users: 2, Settings: 3 },
      customLinks: [
        {
          label: 'Analytics',
          href: '/admin/analytics',
          group: 'Tools',
          icon: BarChart3,
        },
      ],
    }),
  ],
})
