Measured entry

8bitcn-drawer

sheetskeuomorphismmotion on file

A pixel-styled React drawer delivered as a shadcn registry component plus a retro stylesheet. It wraps the shadcn drawer and Vaul primitives, uses the shared cn utility and class-variance-authority, relies on Tailwind classes, and imports the Press Start font from Google Fonts.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 685ms
error during build:
[vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-04eec73cb205/src/cut/components/ui/8bit/drawer.tsx".

Verdict

A sound choice for an intentionally retro interface: it builds and mounts cleanly, stays responsive in the tested layouts, and keeps the familiar Vaul behavior. The visual treatment is narrow, and the external font import deserves an explicit privacy and offline-use decision.

Use it if

  • You want a bottom, left, or right drawer that matches a retro game interface.
  • Your app already uses shadcn drawer conventions, Tailwind utilities, and the cn helper.
  • You want Vaul interaction behavior with square borders and a pixel-font treatment.

Skip it if

  • Your product needs neutral styling that blends into a conventional design system.
  • Your content must work without fetching a web font or you do not want to self-host a replacement.
  • You want a standalone drawer with no shadcn base component or Tailwind setup.

In a non-shadcn project, add the shadcn drawer base component, Vaul, class-variance-authority, clsx, tailwind-merge, the cn utility and matching import aliases, Tailwind support for the component classes, and the retro stylesheet. Allow the Google Fonts import or replace it with a locally hosted font.
