Measured entry
8bitcn-resizable
A pixel-styled resizable panel group shipped as a shadcn registry component, plus an optional retro font stylesheet. It is a client component built on react-resizable-panels and expects Tailwind classes, theme color tokens, and a shadcn-style cn utility available through the configured import alias.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 647ms error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "react-resizable-panels" from "<sandbox>re-6bceb3853be4/src/cut/components/ui/8bit/resizable.tsx".
Verdict
A sound choice for retro split-pane interfaces: it builds and mounts cleanly, works without a provider, and exposes the underlying panel API. Budget for responsive adjustments on narrow screens and accept the added client dependency for resizing behavior.
Use it if
- You need draggable horizontal or vertical splits for editors, dashboards, maps, or inspector layouts.
- Keyboard-operable resize handles matter and you want an established panel primitive under the visual treatment.
- Your app already uses Tailwind and can support the component's theme tokens and utility conventions.
Skip it if
- Your narrow layouts must avoid horizontal overflow without adding responsive sizing or an alternate mobile arrangement.
- You want a minimal client payload for a simple static divider or fixed column layout.
- Your design system cannot accommodate the heavy pixel border treatment or Tailwind-specific selectors.
Install
| Declared dependencies | clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn app, install react-resizable-panels, clsx, and tailwind-merge; add or replace the cn helper and its import alias; configure Tailwind theme tokens and supported selectors; keep the client boundary; and include the retro stylesheet only if you want its font utilities.
