Overview
This tutorial shows you how to build a fully collapsible sidebar in React using React Router and SCSS, featuring smooth open and close animations, active page highlighting and a structured multi page navigation system.
You'll learn how to set up routing with React Router Dom, create separate page components, build a sidebar with logo, profile and navigation sections, and style it for both expanded and collapsed states. The tutorial also demonstrates managing open and close behaviour with useState, detecting the current route with useLocation for active link styling, and applying conditional classes to control layout and visibility, resulting in a reusable sidebar pattern suitable for dashboard and admin interfaces.
