Measured entry
ruixen-navbar-split
A static split navigation header that places configurable links on either side of a logo and keeps a call-to-action visible on smaller screens. It ships as a client-side shadcn registry component and depends on React, Next.js Link, Tailwind utility classes, the shadcn Button primitive, the cn helper, and the declared Radix package.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 53.08s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/navbar-split.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A clean fit for a simple Next.js product header, but incomplete as the sole navigation on mobile and worth fixing with distinct labels for its navigation landmarks. It needs a shadcn-style setup and does not work as a bare drop-in.
Use it if
- You need a compact product header with separate primary and support link groups.
- Your Next.js app already uses shadcn conventions, Tailwind utilities, and the shared Button component.
- A desktop link bar with only a logo and call-to-action on smaller screens matches your navigation plan.
Skip it if
- Mobile visitors must be able to reach every navigation link, since this component hides both link groups without providing a menu.
- You need dropdowns, account controls, search, or other interactive navigation behavior.
- Your page already has unlabeled navigation landmarks and you cannot add distinct accessible labels.
- You want a framework-neutral component without Next.js and shadcn project conventions.
Install
| Declared dependencies | radix-ui |
|---|---|
| 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 project, add React, Next.js routing or replace Link with your router or anchors, configure Tailwind-compatible theme classes, install the declared Radix package, and provide equivalents for the Button component and cn utility. Add distinct accessible labels to the two navigation regions.
