## What it is
React Sidebar is a small (<2.5kB gzipped) React component that renders a sidebar which can slide over or dock next to the main content. It supports touch swipe gestures, left/right placement, and responsive behavior via media queries.

## Use cases
- add a slide-out navigation drawer to a react app
- swipe-to-open sidebar like a native mobile app
- responsive sidebar that docks on wide screens and overlays on mobile
- left or right side menu component for react
- lightweight drawer component with touch support

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, dependency-free sidebar/drawer for a React app
- you want native-app-style touch swipe interactions
- you need the sidebar to slide over or dock beside content

## When to avoid
- you use React 18+ with modern function components and want an actively maintained library
- you need iOS touch swipe support (disabled due to swipe-to-go-back)
- you want a full UI component library rather than a single component

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, state-management
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react, sidebar, drawer, navigation, touch-enabled, responsive, web-server
