### Integrate Sidebar component into Elm Land pages

Source: https://elm.land/guide/pages-and-routes

These Elm code snippets demonstrate how to import and use the `Components.Sidebar` module across different pages (`Pages.Home_`, `Pages.Settings.Account`, `Pages.User_`). Each example shows how to pass a specific title and body content, including dynamic parameters for the user page, to wrap page content within the sidebar layout.

```Elm
module Pages.Home_ exposing (page)

import Components.Sidebar
import Html exposing (..)
import View exposing (View)

page : View msg
page =
    Components.Sidebar.view
        { title = "Homepage"
        , body = [ text "Hello, world!" ]
        }
```

```Elm
module Pages.Settings.Account exposing (page)

import Components.Sidebar
import Html exposing (..)
import View exposing (View)

page : View msg
page =
    Components.Sidebar.view
        { title = "Pages.Settings.Account"
        , body = [ text "/settings/account" ]
        }
```

```Elm
module Pages.User_ exposing (page)

import Components.Sidebar
import Html exposing (..)
import View exposing (View)

page : { username : String } -> View msg
page params =
    Components.Sidebar.view

### Pass route to Elm init function

Source: https://elm.land/guide/user-auth

This Elm code snippet illustrates how to extend the pattern of passing data to `view` to also pass `route` to the `init` function of an Elm `Layout`. By passing `route` to `init`, the initialization logic gains access to the current URL, enabling URL-dependent setup or data fetching.

```elm
module Layouts.Sidebar exposing (Props, Model, Msg, layout)

-- ...

layout : Props -> Shared.Model -> Route () -> Layout Model Msg contentMsg
layout props shared route =
    Layout.new
        { init = init route
        , update = update
        , view = view props
        , subscriptions = subscriptions
        }

-- ...

      const material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({ color: 0xffffff, flatShading: true })

      for (let i = 0; i < 500; i++) {
        const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material)
        mesh.position.x = Math.random() * 1600 - 800
        mesh.position.y = 0
        mesh.position.z = Math.random() * 1600 - 800
        mesh.updateMatrix()
        mesh.matrixAutoUpdate = false
        scene.add(mesh)
      }

      // lights
      const dirLight1 = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff)
      dirLight1.position.set(1, 1, 1)
      scene.add(dirLight1)

      const dirLight2 = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0x002288)
      dirLight2.position.set(-1, -1, -1)
      scene.add(dirLight2)

      const ambientLight = new THREE.AmbientLight(0x222222)
      scene.add(ambientLight)

      window.addEventListener('resize', onWindowResize)
    }

    function onWindowResize() {
      camera.aspect = size.width / size.height
      camera.updateProjectionMatrix()
      renderer.setSize(size.width, size.height)
    }

    function animate() {
      requestAnimationFrame(animate)
      controls.update()
      render()

### Define Catch-All Route Pattern for Code Explorer Page

Source: https://elm.land/guide/pages-and-routes

```txt
