A split pane component that helps segment page views into adjustable sections, letting users control their visual workspace size.
What is Shadcn Resizable?
Shadcn Resizable is a flexible layout system composed of ResizablePanelGroup, ResizablePanel, and ResizableHandle. It enables users to drag and adjust screen partitions dynamically.
Whether you're building a dashboard, email client, settings page, or code playground, resizable views make layouts adaptable and user-controlled.
Resizable is commonly used for:
Collapsible sidebars and navigation drawers
Split-screen workspace comparisons
Master-Detail interfaces (e.g., mail lists and details)
Multi-window code playgrounds and IDE panels
Interactive grid workspaces
Why Developers Use Shadcn Resizable
Fixed layout proportions don't fit all use cases, especially on different monitors and resolutions. Resizable panels allow users to customize their screen area, expanding main viewports while collapsing secondary sidebars or detailed inspector lists.
By using lightweight primitives, it offers smooth drag performance, prevents parent container layout shifts, and ensures accessible keyboard behavior.

Shadcn Resizable Example & Variant
Explore practical layout configurations designed for modern dashboards and workspaces. From sidebars to inspectors, these examples help build robust, interactive layout divisions.
Master-Detail Layout
Combines a searchable data list on one side and a detailed item preview inspector panel on the other.
Integrate with Any Shadcn Components
The resizable panel system works smoothly with other Shadcn UI components in your application:
Pair with Scroll Area to handle scrollable content lists inside side panels.
Use with Card components inside panels to keep visual elements clean and bordered.
Combine with Badge and Button to build interactive action headers in inspector panels.
Integrate with text inputs or search groups inside panel headers for real-time list filtering.
Tips for Using Shadcn Resizable
Always define a reasonable minSize and maxSize to prevent panels from shrinking to unreadable sizes. Ensure the parent container of your ResizablePanelGroup has a defined height and width (e.g. `h-full` or a fixed height like `h-150`).
For responsive layouts, switch the panel group's `direction` dynamically or hide/show mobile-specific views using media queries, providing a tailored mobile experience while retaining the desktop split layout.

Easy to Use with React Components
You can easily integrate it into any Next.js or React setup. The components expose props like onResize, onCollapse, and onExpand, and can be manipulated programmatically using React refs for high-fidelity interactive control.
FAQs
A resizable component consists of a set of panels separated by draggable handles. Users can grab the handles to adjust the sizes of the adjacent panels dynamically, customizing their workspace.
Yes. You can nest ResizablePanelGroup components inside ResizablePanel elements to create complex grids with both vertical and horizontal resizable layouts.
You can use the persistence features. If you provide a unique autoSaveId prop, the layout library can automatically persist panel sizes to local storage or cookies, maintaining the user's custom layout between page reloads.
By setting the collapsible prop to true on a ResizablePanel and specifying a minSize, the panel will automatically collapse when the user drags the handle beyond the minSize threshold. You can also listen to onCollapse and onExpand callbacks to manage component state.
Yes. The underlying primitives support touch events for mobile gestures. Furthermore, you can listen to viewport width or use custom media queries to transition between horizontal and vertical layouts or switch to a full-screen mobile view, just like in our Resizable 01 Master-Detail Split Pane example.
Yes. It supports keyboard accessibility. Users can focus the resizable handles and use arrow keys, Home/End, or Enter to adjust panel sizes or collapse/expand them.
Shadcn Resizable is built using the excellent react-resizable-panels library, combining robust workspace partitioning logic with clean Tailwind CSS styling.
