Spotify Clone App Development Training – Menu Component Part 2: Making Navigation Dynamic!

Welcome to Part 7 of the Spotify Clone App Development Training series! This is the second half of building the Menu Component, where we take it from static layout to a fully dynamic, scalable, and interactive navigation system. You’ll map through multiple menu items, apply conditional styling, and prepare it to load future routes like playlists and user libraries dynamically.

✅ What You’ll Learn in This Video:

✔️ Refactoring the Menu Component to render multiple items from an array
✔️ Applying dynamic classNames for active and hover states
✔️ Enhancing the component’s responsiveness with Tailwind CSS
✔️ Using TypeScript interfaces to strongly type menu props
✔️ Prepping the component to support future authenticated routes (e.g., My Library, Favorites)

💡 Why This Step Matters:

🔹 Ensures the Menu Component is reusable and DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)
🔹 Enables dynamic routing and navigation flexibility
🔹 Prepares the sidebar for user-based menu personalization
