It extends the functionality of the standard Shadcn/ui Sidebar by incorporating drag-to-resize capabilities, allowing users to adjust the sidebar width according to their preferences.

The component also supports collapsibility, theme switching, and keyboard navigation, ensuring a seamless and accessible user
