Yes, I have seen this. However installing the whole framework in order to use few utils from it it's quite an overhead, isn't it?

We don't plan to extract layout into a separate package. It's integrated tightly into the rest of the library so it would be a significant lift to do that and maintain the two together, which would require time better spent elsewhere.

What bothers you about the suggested approach? There's no "overhead" if your dev tooling can tree-shake the unused parts of the library, which is what most bundlers do today out of the box.

Yes, I have checked the source code and I have noticed it's quite a bit of work to extract layout from the repo.

Regarding what's bothering with using the entire radix-ui is not the bundle side grow, but rather additional set of dependencies added only due to the layout utils.

Anyway, thanks for an explenation 👍

If you are building a design system and want to include the layout components, Radix Themes dependencies won't affect anything if you set up the build process to tree-shake the unused components.
