Drawer

Guidelines#

Use it for short, focused tasks on touch-first layouts: picking a meeting slot, confirming a send, quick filters on a phone. On wide screens prefer Sheet or Dialog.

What you provide: Drawer (vaul root: open/onOpenChange or defaultOpen, direction bottom by default, top, left, right), a DrawerTrigger, and DrawerContent holding DrawerHeader (DrawerTitle, DrawerDescription), your body, and DrawerFooter with the main action first and a DrawerClose. DrawerContent passes Radix dialog props through, such as onOpenAutoFocus.

Anatomy: a bg-black/50 overlay fades in and out. The bottom drawer is full width, bg-background, rounded-t-lg with a top border, at most 80vh tall, and shows a 100 × 8px bg-muted handle, fully rounded, 16px from the top (bottom direction only). Side drawers are 75% wide up to 384px from sm. Header and footer pad 16px; the header stacks with 6px gaps, the footer with 8px and sits at the bottom (mt-auto). Title is font-semibold text-foreground; description text-sm text-muted-foreground.

Don't put long forms or nested scrolling lists in a drawer, or open one drawer from another.

Example#

The code of the preview above: plain React.createElement against window.DigitalCrew, with realistic data.

<div id="root" class="p-6"></div>
<script>
(function () {
  var h = React.createElement, DC = window.DigitalCrew, I = DC.Icons;
  function App() {
    return h(DC.Drawer, { defaultOpen: true },
      h(DC.DrawerTrigger, { asChild: true }, h(DC.Button, { variant: "outline" }, h(I.Calendar), "Book a meeting")),
      h(DC.DrawerContent, { onOpenAutoFocus: function (e) { e.preventDefault(); } },
        h("div", { className: "mx-auto w-full max-w-md" },
          h(DC.DrawerHeader, null,
            h(DC.DrawerTitle, null, "Book a meeting with Claire Dubois"),
            h(DC.DrawerDescription, null, "CFO at Northwind Traders. Slots are shown in her time zone (Paris).")),
          h("div", { className: "grid grid-cols-3 gap-2 px-4" },
            ["Tue 10:00", "Tue 14:30", "Wed 09:00", "Wed 16:00", "Thu 11:00", "Fri 10:30"].map(function (s, i) {
              return h(DC.Button, { key: s, variant: i === 1 ? "default" : "outline", size: "sm" }, s);
            })),
          h(DC.DrawerFooter, null,
            h(DC.Button, null, "Send invite for Tue 14:30"),
            h(DC.DrawerClose, { asChild: true }, h(DC.Button, { variant: "ghost" }, "Cancel"))))));
  }
  ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root")).render(h(DC.TooltipProvider, { delayDuration: 80 }, h(App)));
})();
</script>
