--- title: Geistdocs Provider description: The root provider component that handles notifications, search and analytics type: reference summary: The root provider component that wraps your application to handle toast notifications, search, and analytics. prerequisites: - /docs/getting-started related: - /docs/configuration --- # Geistdocs Provider The `GeistdocsProvider` is a wrapper component that sits at the root of your application. It wraps Fumadocs' `RootProvider` and adds Geistdocs-specific functionality to make everything work seamlessly. ## What It Does The provider handles these main things for you: 2. **Toast Notifications** - Provides a global notification system for user feedback 3. **Analytics** - Integrates Vercel Analytics for tracking page views and performance 4. **Search** - Configures the search dialog and connects it to your search API ## Usage Ensure your application is wrapped with the provider in your root layout: ```tsx title="app/layout.tsx" import { GeistdocsProvider } from "@/components/geistdocs/provider"; const Layout = ({ children }: LayoutProps) => ( {children} ); ``` That's it. The provider handles everything automatically. ## AI Sidebar When users open the AI chat on desktop, the provider automatically adds padding to prevent content from being hidden behind the sidebar. On mobile, the chat opens as a drawer instead, so no padding is needed. You don't need to do anything - the provider detects the screen size and chat state automatically. ## Toast Notifications The provider includes a global toast notification system. Use it anywhere in your app: ```tsx title="page.tsx" import { toast } from "sonner"; toast.success("Changes saved"); toast.error("Something went wrong"); ``` ## Analytics Vercel Analytics is automatically included and tracks: * Page views * Web Vitals * User interactions * Performance metrics No configuration needed - it works automatically when deployed on Vercel. --- For a semantic overview of all documentation, see [/sitemap.md](/sitemap.md) For an index of all available documentation, see [/llms.txt](/llms.txt)
