Aside

A sticky <aside> with customizable slots and anchors.

Usage

The Aside component will instantiate a sticky <aside> element, displayed only after the lg breakpoint with a min-height based on the --header-height variable.

Use the links prop to display a list of links at the top of the Aside and the #top or #bottom slots to display content above or below the links.

<script setup lang="ts">
const links = [{
  label: 'Documentation',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-book-open',
  to: '/getting-started'
}, {
  label: 'Playground',
  icon: 'i-simple-icons-stackblitz',
  to: '/playground'
}, {
  label: 'Roadmap',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-map',
  to: '/roadmap'
}, {
  label: 'Pro',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-square-3-stack-3d',

  target: '_blank'

const pageLinks = [{
