Drawer

A gesture-driven sheet that slides in from any edge for mobile menus, filters, and quick forms — with neobrutalist borders and shadows.

"use client"

import * as React from "react"

The drawer is a panel that slides in from an edge of the screen and can be dragged shut. Built on Vaul by Emil Kowalski and styled to the neobrutalist recipe: thick borders, hard shadows, and bold type.

Reach for it when:

Mobile action sheets — share menus, sort options, quick confirmations. The drag-to-dismiss gesture beats hunting for a tiny close button on touch.
Filters and settings panels — e-commerce filters or preferences that need more room than a popover but don't warrant a page.
Responsive dialogs — pair it with Dialog to render a modal on desktop and a drawer on mobile (see the example below).

Usage

import {
  Drawer,
  DrawerClose,
  DrawerContent,
  DrawerDescription,
  DrawerFooter,
  DrawerHeader,
  DrawerTitle,
  DrawerTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/drawer"

<Drawer>
  <DrawerTrigger>Open</DrawerTrigger>
  <DrawerContent>
    <DrawerHeader>
      <DrawerTitle>Are you absolutely sure?</DrawerTitle>
      <DrawerDescription>This action cannot be undone.</DrawerDescription>
    </DrawerHeader>
    <DrawerFooter>
      <Button>Submit</Button>
      <DrawerClose>
        <Button variant="outline">Cancel</Button>
      </DrawerClose>
    </DrawerFooter>
  </DrawerContent>
</Drawer>

Composition

Use the following composition to build a Drawer:

Drawer
├── DrawerTrigger
└── DrawerContent
    ├── DrawerHeader
    │   ├── DrawerTitle
    │   └── DrawerDescription
    └── DrawerFooter

Examples

Scrollable Content

Keep actions visible while the content scrolls.

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  Drawer,

Sides

Use the direction prop to set the side of the drawer. Available options are top, right, bottom, and left.

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  Drawer,

Responsive Dialog

You can combine the Dialog and Drawer components to create a responsive dialog. This renders a Dialog component on desktop and a Drawer on mobile.

import * as React from "react"

RTL

Accessibility

The drawer follows the WAI-ARIA Dialog (Modal) pattern: Vaul builds on the Radix Dialog primitive, so the panel renders with role="dialog" and aria-modal, traps focus while open, and is labelled by DrawerTitle and described by DrawerDescription. Dragging to dismiss is pointer-only — keyboard users close with Escape or a DrawerClose button, so always include one.

Keyboard interactions:

Key	Action
`Space` / `Enter`	Open the drawer from the focused trigger
`Tab` / `Shift + Tab`	Cycle focus through the drawer's contents (focus is trapped)
`Escape`	Close the drawer and return focus to the trigger

API Reference

See the Vaul documentation for the full API reference.
