Creating a visually appealing and functional CSS sidebar design component is an essential aspect of modern web development. Sidebars serve as navigation menus, informational panels, or tools for providing additional features in web applications.

Purpose of a Sidebar

A sidebar is a vertical UI element typically positioned on the left or right side of a webpage. Its primary purpose is to provide users with quick access to navigation links, tools, or content without interfering with the main content of the page. Sidebars are commonly found in:

Dashboards: To navigate between different sections of an admin panel.
E-commerce Websites: For category filters, shopping carts, or promotional content.
Content Websites: To display additional content, related articles, or advertisements

Types of Sidebars

There are several types of sidebars depending on their functionality and design:

Static Sidebar: Always visible and fixed in place.
Collapsible Sidebar: Can expand or collapse based on user interaction.
Floating Sidebar: Scrolls independently of the main content.
Overlay Sidebar: Slides over the main content when triggered.
