Signed-in Application Bar

The bar above an app rather than a site: workspace and environment named in the open, a bell that counts in words, and an impersonation strip that cannot be dismissed.

/**
 * <NavbarAuthenticated> — the bar for people who are already inside.
 *
 * Navigation held four marketing bars: simple, mega menu, mobile drawer,
 * announcement strip. All of them are built for a visitor deciding whether
 * to sign up. The bar above a signed-in application answers a completely
 * different question, and it is not "where can I go" — it is "where am I,
 * and as whom".
 *
 * THE ONE THING THIS GETS RIGHT THAT MOST DO NOT
 *
 * The context you are acting in is on the bar, permanently, in words. The
 * expensive mistake in every multi-workspace product is doing the correct
 * thing in the wrong place: deleting the right customer from the wrong
 * org, running the right migration against production because the tab had
 * been open since yesterday. A workspace name in a dropdown you have to
 * open is not an answer; the name and the environment sit in the bar and
 * the environment carries a colour *and* its own word.
 *
 * IMPERSONATION IS NOT A QUIET MODE
 *
 * When a support agent is viewing as a customer, the bar grows a strip
 * that cannot be dismissed, names the customer, and offers exactly one
 * exit. Products that mark this state with a subtle tint ship the incident
 * where somebody sends an email from an account that was not theirs. The
 * strip is `role="status"` so it is announced, not just seen.
 *
 * THE BELL COUNTS IN WORDS
 *
 * `aria-label="Notifications, 3 unread"` rather than a red dot next to an
 * icon, and the badge caps at 9+ so the layout cannot be broken by a bad
 * week. A count that only exists as a coloured circle is invisible to a
 * screen reader and ambiguous to everyone else — unread, or unresolved?
 *
 * ACCESSIBILITY: one `<nav>` with a real label, menus toggled by buttons
 * carrying `aria-expanded` and `aria-haspopup="menu"`, and Escape closing
 * whichever is open. The search field is a labelled input, not a div with
 * a placeholder — the most common way an app bar loses its only text
 * field to assistive technology.

Before you paste

  • Styling is Tailwind utility classes on semantic tokens (bg-card, text-muted-foreground) — it inherits your theme instead of overriding it.
  • Install: npm i lucide-react
  • Every prop has a default, so it renders standalone before you wire it up.

Where it goes

Drop it at components/navbar-authenticated.tsx and import it where you need the section:

import { NavbarAuthenticated } from '@/components/navbar-authenticated'

Customize

2 of this block’s props are simple enough to drive from here. Change them and the block below re-renders — it is the same component whose source is above, not a mock of it. Everything else it accepts is in the table underneath.

Props

Read out of the component’s own type and signature, so this cannot drift from the source below. Every prop has a default — the component renders standalone before you pass it anything.

Not using React?

The same block rendered once to markup, wrapped as a file your framework compiles. Tailwind classes are framework-agnostic, so the design transfers intact — the behaviour does not.

This block is interactive. The markup below is its initial state with the event handlers stripped — you will need to re-wire the behaviour in your framework.

navbar-authenticated.html
<!--
  Signed-in Application Bar — markup from the Hoverlab catalog.

  This is the block rendered once to HTML and wrapped as a component
  file. It is not a port of the React source: the Tailwind classes carry
  the design, which is the part that took the work, and they are the same
  in every framework.

  This block is interactive in React and the handlers are NOT here.
  Buttons, toggles and menus render in their initial state and do
  nothing until you wire them up.

  • This is rendered HTML, not a translation of the React source. The Tailwind classes carry the design and work in any framework.
  • It is one frame: the component in its initial state, with no props applied beyond the defaults.
  • This block is interactive in React — toggles, menus or form state. None of that survives here; the markup is the closed/default state and the handlers are gone. Re-wire them in your own framework.
  • Requires Tailwind, and the design tokens the classes reference (bg-card, text-muted-foreground, and so on). The template ZIPs ship a globals.css that defines them.

What each framework gets across the whole catalog — effects convert properly; this rung is markup.

For AI

The component, its props, the design tokens it expects and the command that installs it — as one prompt. Paste it into Claude, Cursor, v0 or ChatGPT and what they build around it will match the rest of the catalog instead of inventing its own system.
