Keep navigation discoverable even in the most compact layout with this React component. Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and shadcn/ui Sidebar components, this pattern uses the built-in tooltip prop on SidebarMenuButton to show full labels when collapsed to icon-only mode. Hovering over any icon reveals the page name in a shadcn/ui Tooltip positioned to the right. The sidebar uses collapsible='icon' mode so users can toggle between full labels and a slim icon strip styled with Tailwind CSS. Perfect for dashboards, admin panels, and Next.js applications that need to maximize content area while maintaining navigability.
