# App shells templates

3 Pro app shells page templates for React. Sidebar and top-nav frames for an app, from a collapsible rail to a phone sheet.

## Installation

Once per project, create a token at https://ui.edbn.me/dashboard/tokens, put it in `.env.local` as `EDBN_TOKEN`, and add the registry to `components.json`:

```json
{
  "registries": {
    "@edbn": {
      "url": "https://ui.edbn.me/r/{name}.json",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${EDBN_TOKEN}" }
    }
  }
}
```

Then install any template by name, for example:

```bash
npx shadcn@4.19.0 add @edbn/app-shell-icon-rail
```

## Templates
- [Icon rail app shell](https://ui.edbn.me/docs/templates/app-shell-icon-rail): Loam Studio's admin frame with a sidebar that folds to an icon rail, flyouts for sections with pages, tooltips, and a sheet on phones.
  Install: `npx shadcn@4.19.0 add @edbn/app-shell-icon-rail`
- [Double sidebar app shell](https://ui.edbn.me/docs/templates/app-shell-double-sidebar): Kilnwork's app for a pottery studio: a rail of studios, a section panel that folds two levels deep, and Today with classes and the kiln queue.
  Install: `npx shadcn@4.19.0 add @edbn/app-shell-double-sidebar`
- [Top nav app shell](https://ui.edbn.me/docs/templates/app-shell-top-nav): Kilnwork for teachers: sections as tabs across the top, a row of the section's pages, notifications, and the week's classes with next steps.
  Install: `npx shadcn@4.19.0 add @edbn/app-shell-top-nav`
