Suggestion for a new package for asChild behavior

[alebelcor]

Now that Polymorphic and Slot are deprecated I was wondering if there might be any plans on publishing a new package that people could use to mimic the behavior of the asChild prop (along with prop & ref merging) in their components and/or design systems. If that makes sense.

I think that API turned out great and would love for more people to adopt it, even if they don't use Radix Primitives themselves (they should).

Thank you!

We have deprecated Slot mostly to prevent support requests but we use it ourselves still. So, if you wish to provide your own asChild implementation you can do the following:

import { Slot } from '@radix-ui/react-slot';

type BoxProps = React.ComponentProps<'div'> & { 
	asChild?: boolean; 
};

const Box = (props: BoxProps) => {
	const { asChild, ...boxProps  } = props;
	const Comp = asChild ? Slot : 'div';
	return <Comp {...boxProps} />;
}

@peduarte perhaps we shouldn't deprecate it though if people will find it useful?
