Navigation & Discovery

Utilizing the advanced discovery tools in Astrodex: Sidebar filtering, command palette, and stateful navigation.

Navigation & Discovery

Astrodex is engineered for massive data sets. We provide elite discovery tools to ensure developers can locate specific technical details in milliseconds.

1. Stateful Sidebar 📂

The sidebar is the primary navigation matrix. It features:

  • Folder Grouping: Automatic hierarchical categorization.
  • Collapsible States: Toggle groups to save vertical space.
  • Persistence: The engine remembers which groups you’ve opened across page reloads.

2. Real-time Filtering 🔍

Located at the apex of the sidebar, the filter allows for instant UI refinement.

  • Instant Search: Hides irrelevant articles as you type.
  • Auto-Expansion: Automatically opens collapsed groups if they contain a match.

3. Global Command Palette (Ctrl + K)

For site-wide intelligence, the Command Palette searches across all projects and versions.

  • Pre-indexed: The search index is built at compile-time for zero-latency results.
  • Full-Text Search: Scans titles, descriptions, and content bodies.

4. Contextual Breadcrumbs 🗺️

Every article includes semantic breadcrumbs for rapid upward traversal: Home / Ecosystem / Project Name / Version / Current Topic


Performance Note: Navigation utilizes the “Astro View Transitions” API (where enabled) to provide app-like fluidity while maintaining the stability of a static site.
