Project sidebar

The project sidebar provides an overview of your project, including any issues detected in your project, and changes made in the current branch you are working in.

The project sidebar is visible, showing three existing pages, and collapsed sections for components, services, actions, formulas, media, themes and settings. The image is annotated corresponding to the list items below.

Use the icons at the left of the screen to access the following:

  1. 1
    Files: View all files, components, services, actions, formulas, media, themes and settings in your project
  2. 2
    View and install packages: Browse, search for, and install Nordcraft packages
  3. 3
    Issues: View issues found in your project and get advice on how to fix them (an orange dot is visible when issues are detected)
  4. 4
    Source control: View any changes made in the current branch of your project

Content sections

Each section can be expanded or collapsed and includes a + button to create new items (except for themes and settings):

  • Pages: View and manage all pages in your project
  • Components: Access all reusable components in your project
  • Services: Configure API connections to external services with an OpenAPI specification
  • Actions: Create and manage global actions that can be used throughout your entire project
  • Formulas: Define project formulas for calculations and logic that can be accessed from any page or component
  • Media Upload and manage image files for your project
  • Themes: Configure design tokens including colors, spacing, and typography
  • Settings: Manage project configurations like favicon, robots.txt, sitemap, app manifest and service worker

Project settings

At the bottom of the files view of the project sidebar, you can configure the following settings for your project:

  • Favicon: Upload a favicon for your project - available at /favicon.ico
  • Robots.txt: Target a custom robots.txt document (with a URL) - available at /robots.txt
  • Sitemap.xml: Target a custom sitemap.xml document (with a URL) - available at /sitemap.xml
  • App Manifest: Target a custom manifest JSON file (with a URL) - available at /manifest.json
  • Service Worker: Target a javascript file url for a script that registers a service worker. The script will be available on /serviceWorker.js. To serve the actual service worker, you need to create a proxy to the URL where the service worker script is hosted. The service worker registration script could also be used to include a custom script on all pages of your project. See a reference implementation of using a service worker in this example project.

Project settings are only available on paid plans.
