Day 10 - Building the Navigation System with a Workspace-Aware Sidebar
- Today's focus in Sprint 1 of Lura was on building the navigation system, specifically a workspace-aware sidebar.
- The sidebar design is crucial in multi-tenant applications like Lura to assist users in switching workspaces, navigating through cases, and controlling access based on roles.
- Key features developed include a dynamic sidebar structure, workspace switching dropdown, and role-aware links.
- Dynamic Sidebar Structure achieved with useEffect, useRouter, and Context providers for managing global workspace state.
