I think we could use this library https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular-resizable-element for brain implementation, since it already provides directives, which we could provide a wrapper for. Helm implementation should be fairly easy, because we might only need to create a styled ResizeHandle

@maurice0800 I like the idea of building on top of great libraries that already exist! I'll do some digging if this allows us to do something like shadcn does with the split sections inside one bigger. Also, do you know if this is still maintained? Seems like there hasn't been much development recently 👀

I'm not sure of the goal for the Resizable component, but if it's about splitting the screen into two (or more) elements then I've had the best experience with angular-split. It is an amazing library with all the features I ever needed for building "split screen" apps, like a resizable left-nav with main content

@alexciesielski this is exactly what I was looking for! I think we can simply build a hlm component on top of it that adds a handle!

[alexciesielski]

I even implemented a drawer (#118) with that library in a project, although that took some additional effort. But it is possible. :)

I think after this PR is merged we can go ahead with your suggestion @alexciesielski: https://github.com/angular-split/angular-split/pull/444
