Setting your personal account navigation configuration | Next.js Supabase SaaS Kit

Learn how to setup the personal account navigation of your Next.js Supabase application

The personal account navigation is set at apps/web/config/personal-account-navigation.config.tsx. We use this configuration to define the navigation menu of the personal account. By default, it has three routes: home page, settings, and billing (if enabled).

We define it in one place so we can build different views at once (for example, the mobile menu).

Configuration

You define the personal workspace routing configuration at apps/web/config/personal-account-navigation.config.tsx:

apps/web/config/personal-account-navigation.config.tsx

import { CreditCard, Home, User } from 'lucide-react';
import { z } from 'zod';
import { NavigationConfigSchema } from '@kit/ui/navigation-schema';
import featureFlagsConfig from '~/config/feature-flags.config';
import pathsConfig from '~/config/paths.config';
const iconClasses = 'w-4';
const routes = [
 {
   label: 'common:routes.application',
   children: [
     {
       label: 'common:routes.home',
       path: pathsConfig.app.home,
       Icon: <Home className={iconClasses} />,
       end: true,
     },
   ],
 },
 {
   label: 'common:routes.settings',
   children: [
     {
       label: 'common:routes.profile',
       path: pathsConfig.app.personalAccountSettings,
       Icon: <User className={iconClasses} />,
     },
     featureFlagsConfig.enablePersonalAccountBilling
       ? {
           label: 'common:routes.billing',
           path: pathsConfig.app.personalAccountBilling,
           Icon: <CreditCard className={iconClasses} />,
         }
       : undefined,
   ].filter(route => !!route),
 },
] satisfies z.infer<typeof NavigationConfigSchema>['routes'];
export const personalAccountNavigationConfig = NavigationConfigSchema.parse({
 routes,
 style: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_USER_NAVIGATION_STYLE,
 sidebarCollapsed: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_HOME_SIDEBAR_COLLAPSED,
});

The configuration allows you to define route groups. You can add a route's children by setting the children attribute (for simplicity, I don't use i18n strings):

apps/web/config/personal-account-navigation.config.tsx

const routes = [{
 label: 'Your Store',
 children: [
   {
     label: 'Dashboard',
     path: '/dashboard',
     Icon: <DashboardIcon className={iconClasses} />,
     children: [
       {
         label: 'Orders',
         path: '/orders',
         Icon: <ShoppingCartIcon className={iconClasses} />,
       },
       {
         label: 'Inventory',
         path: '/inventory',
         Icon: <InventoryIcon className={iconClasses} />,
       },
     ]
   },
 ]
}];

Layout Style

You can choose the style of the navigation by setting the NEXT_PUBLIC_USER_NAVIGATION_STYLE environment variable. The default style is sidebar.

NEXT_PUBLIC_USER_NAVIGATION_STYLE=sidebar

Alternatively, you can set the style to header:

NEXT_PUBLIC_TEAM_NAVIGATION_STYLE=header

Old Configuration

If you're running an older version (e.g prior to 25 October 2024), you're running the older version which allowed flat routes:

apps/web/config/personal-account-navigation.config.tsx

const routes = [
 {
   label: 'common:homeTabLabel',
   path: pathsConfig.app.home,
   Icon: <Home className={iconClasses} />,
   end: true,
 },
 {
   label: 'account:accountTabLabel',
   path: pathsConfig.app.personalAccountSettings,
   Icon: <User className={iconClasses} />,
 },
];
if (featureFlagsConfig.enablePersonalAccountBilling) {
 routes.push({
   label: 'common:billingTabLabel',
   path: pathsConfig.app.personalAccountBilling,
   Icon: <CreditCard className={iconClasses} />,
 });
}
export const personalAccountSidebarConfig = SidebarConfigSchema.parse({
 routes,
 style: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_USER_NAVIGATION_STYLE,
});

NB: please update to the latest version to use the latest features and optimizations.
