brand-ui — SideDock

import { SideDock } from "@elabs-ai/components-ui";

Install

npm install @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui

Skipping the @source line is the most common first failure: Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so every component renders unstyled. The one-time wiring

Add the brand-ui SideDock component (from @elabs-ai/components-ui) to this project.

1. Read https://elabs-ai.com/llms.txt first: it maps every package and the rules. If you can use MCP servers, connect https://elabs-ai.com/mcp and use its search, docs and tokens tools. If not, run the same lookups in the terminal: `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli search "<what you need>"` and `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli docs <Component>`.
2. Look SideDock up before writing code: `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli docs SideDock` prints its real props, variants, what it pairs with and what to avoid.
3. If @elabs-ai/components-ui is not installed yet: `pnpm add @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui` (or `npm install @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui`). If this is the first brand-ui package in the project, wire it once: import `@elabs-ai/components-tokens/styles.css` plus the `themes/light.css` and `themes/dark.css` stylesheets in the CSS entry, add one Tailwind `@source` line per installed @elabs-ai package (Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so without it everything renders unstyled), and wrap the app root in `ThemeProvider` from `@elabs-ai/components-tokens`.
4. Use it here: [the screen or file, and what it should show]
5. Rules: use only @elabs-ai/components-* components and the semantic tokens — no raw colours, no raw font sizes, no arbitrary Tailwind values. Look up each component's real props with the docs tool before you use it; never guess a prop.
6. Done means: the typecheck passes, `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli audit src --strict` reports nothing, and you have opened the app and looked at every screen you touched in the light and the dark theme.

Examples

5 live examples

Closed

`open={false}` (the default) — collapsed, `inert`, off-screen; its body content stays mounted for the closing transition.

Left Handed

`side="left"` — the handle sits on the trailing edge and the keyboard direction inverts (`ArrowRight` widens).

Overlay

Below `overlayBreakpoint` the dock renders as an overlay `Sheet` instead of a column, with no resize handle. A very high `overlayBreakpoint` forces this branch deterministically under a headless run, mirroring `ContextRail`'s own `Narrow` story.

In Sidebar

`containerPosition="inset"` (#432): nested inside a `Sidebar` + `SidebarInset` host layout — mirroring the real composition (`DashboardAssetPanel` on the left, `DashboardPropertiesPanel` on the right of a sheet inside an app `Sidebar`) — `side="left"` would otherwise race the Sidebar's own `fixed left-0` container for the SAME viewport edge — the later-mounted dock wins the paint and hides the app's own nav (`wave-4-review-visual.md` P0-1). The play function proves the fix geometrically for BOTH edges: the Sidebar's nav stays visible, and neither dock's rect ever intersects the Sidebar's or the canvas's.

API

`SideDock`

Prop	Type	Description
`title`required	`ReactNode`	The dock's name. Rendered as its header heading, and as the `SheetTitle` of the overlay presentation. REQUIRED: the overlay cannot be accessible without it, and an optional prop with a generic default would ship a meaningless announced name into real apps.
`description`	`ReactNode`	Optional longer description. Visible at the top of the body in the column presentation — never inside the header band, which is fixed at the app shell's header height; `sr-only` in the overlay presentation (the compact sheet header has no room for it, but it still reaches assistive tech).
`headerActions`	`ReactNode`	Optional controls placed in the header row beside the built-in close button.
`open`	`boolean`	Controlled open state. Closed means zero width (content stays mounted, inert).
`defaultOpen`	`boolean`	Uncontrolled initial open state. Default `false` — a dock is summoned.
`onOpenChange`	`(open: boolean) => void`	Called with the next open state.
`side`	`"left" \| "right"`	Which edge it docks to. Default `"right"`.
`containerPosition`	`CollapsiblePanelContainerPosition`	Where the column presentation's fixed/absolute container positions itself. Default `"viewport"` (pins to the viewport edge — byte-identical pre-#432 behavior). `"inset"` pins to the dock's OWN position in the layout instead (`absolute` against a `relative` wrapper this component provides) — use this when the dock is nested inside another element that already pins itself to the same viewport edge (e.g. an app `Sidebar`), so the two never race for the same edge (#432). Has no effect on the overlay `Sheet` presentation below `overlayBreakpoint`.
`width`	`number`	Controlled width in px.
`defaultWidth`	`number`	Uncontrolled initial width in px. Default `400`.
`onWidthChange`	`(width: number) => void`	Fires continuously during a resize — drive layout from this.
`onWidthCommit`	`(width: number) => void`	Fires once when an interaction ends — PERSIST from this.
`minWidth`	`number`	Lower bound in px. Default `320`.
`maxWidth`	`number`	Upper bound in px. Default `640`.
`minContentWidth`	`number`	Content width preserved when clamping against the live viewport, px. Default `480`.
`resizable`	`boolean`	Whether the resize handle renders. Default `true`.
`overlayBreakpoint`	`number`	Viewport width in px below which the dock renders as an overlay `Sheet` instead of a column. Default `1100`. Deliberately ABOVE the library's 768px mobile breakpoint: a 400px dock at 768px leaves ~360px of content. This is the switch point for the column-only sizing props above — the overlay presentation ignores them entirely.
