I’m working on a Next.js project and I’m trying to make the active sidebar item match the current URL. I tried using the useRouter
hooks in a functional component. Despite my efforts, the active item does not seem to update correctly based on the URL.

// Ensure theme is set on the client side
useEffect(() => {
setTheme("system");
}, [setTheme]);

How can I make the active sidebar item match the current URL so that the active item updates correctly based on the URL?
