PhoenixKitWeb.Components.Dashboard.AdminSidebar (phoenix_kit v1.7.235)

Admin sidebar component for the PhoenixKit admin panel.

Renders the admin navigation using registry-driven Tab structs instead of hardcoded HEEX. Supports:

Permission-gated tabs (filtered by Registry)
Module-enabled filtering (filtered by Registry)
Dynamic children for Entities and Publishing
Subtab expand/collapse
Full reuse of the TabItem component for consistent rendering

An entry is rendered only if the visitor can open it

The menu must never offer a page that bounces the visitor on arrival, so every entry is filtered against the SAME gates its destination enforces — see reachable_tabs/2. This matters because /admin is the guaranteed landing for every authenticated user: a visitor with no permissions at all now renders this shell, where before only a permission holder could.

The registry already drops a tab whose :permission key the scope does not hold (Registry.get_tabs/1 → Tab.permission_granted?/2) and a tab whose :visible function says no. Two gates it does NOT apply are added here:

Scope.can_access_admin_area?/1, the first thing :phoenix_kit_ensure_admin checks. Fail it and EVERY /admin page redirects you — including the personal ones — so the whole menu is empty.
PhoenixKitWeb.Users.Auth.can_access_admin_view?/2 for an entry that names a live_view:. A tab may name a view and no permission key; the mount gate then treats that view as unmapped and admits only a scope holding every enabled permission, while the sidebar happily linked it for everyone.

Usage

<.admin_sidebar
  current_path={@current_path}
  scope={@phoenix_kit_current_scope}
  locale={@current_locale}

reachable_tabs(tabs, scope)

@spec reachable_tabs(
  [PhoenixKit.Dashboard.Tab.t()],
  PhoenixKit.Users.Auth.Scope.t() | nil
) :: [
  PhoenixKit.Dashboard.Tab.t()
]

Keeps only the entries scope can actually open.

Two gates, in the order the mount hook applies them:

Scope.can_access_admin_area?/1 — the admin-area gate :phoenix_kit_ensure_admin checks before anything else. A scope that fails it (a nil scope, or an authenticated user holding no permission at all) is redirected off every /admin page, personal ones included, so the answer is [] — not "the tabs with no permission key".
PhoenixKitWeb.Users.Auth.can_access_admin_view?/2 for any entry naming a live_view: — the same function the mount gate asks. Nothing is restated here, so a rendered entry and its destination cannot disagree.

An entry with no live_view: is left to the registry's own :permission / :visible filtering — Registry.get_admin_tabs/1 applies both before the sidebar calls this. Every tab core ships is of that shape: core declares its admin routes in the router rather than on the tab, so there is no module to ask, and gate 2 is a structural no-op over core's own menu.
