## What it is
A React library that computes measurements (client, offset, scroll, bounds, margin rects) of wrapped components using ResizeObserver. It exposes a Measure component and hook-style render props to react to element size changes.

## Use cases
- measure a react component's width and height
- detect when an element resizes in react
- get bounding rect of a dom element in react
- build container-query-like responsive components
- animate elements based on their measured size

## When to choose
- you need element dimensions or resize callbacks in a React app
- you want a small utility wrapping ResizeObserver with a polyfill

## When to avoid
- you're not using React
- you need actively maintained tooling - last release was 2020
- modern CSS container queries can solve your layout need without JS

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: react, resize-observer, element-measurement, container-queries, dimensions, nodejs, javascript
