Master Next.js 15 & TypeScript – Building a Dashboard Layout with Responsive Design

🔥 In Part 11 of the Next.js 15 & TypeScript Masterclass, we design and implement a fully functional Dashboard Layout using modern UI patterns, reusable components, and responsive design principles. This layout will serve as the foundation for the app’s internal pages.

✅ What you’ll learn in this video:
✔️ Structuring a reusable dashboard layout component using Next.js 15 App Router
✔️ Creating a sidebar with navigation links and active state styling
✔️ Integrating the Header and Theme Switcher into the layout
✔️ Making the layout responsive (mobile/desktop) with Tailwind CSS
✔️ Using children and layout nesting to handle page content
✔️ Organizing layout components for scalability and clarity
✔️ Best practices for dashboard UX and accessibility

💡 Why Dashboard Layouts Matter:
🔹 Provide a consistent and intuitive user experience
🔹 Make it easy to navigate between authenticated sections
🔹 Improve maintainability with clean component separation
🔹 Support scalable structure as new features are added
