Drawer

The Drawer component is a panel that slides out from the edge of the screen. It can be useful when you need users to complete a task or view some details without leaving the current page.

Import#

import {
  Drawer,
  DrawerBody,
  DrawerFooter,
  DrawerHeader,
  DrawerOverlay,
  DrawerContent,
  DrawerCloseButton,
} from "@chakra-ui/react"

Usage#

Basic Drawer#

function DrawerExample() {
  const { isOpen, onOpen, onClose } = useDisclosure()
  const btnRef = React.useRef()
  return (
    <>
      <Button ref={btnRef} colorScheme="teal" onClick={onOpen}>
        Open
      </Button>
      <Drawer
        isOpen={isOpen}
        placement="right"
        onClose={onClose}
        finalFocusRef={btnRef}
      >
        <DrawerOverlay />
        <DrawerContent>
          <DrawerCloseButton />
          <DrawerHeader>Create your account</DrawerHeader>
          <DrawerBody>
            <Input placeholder="Type here..." />
          </DrawerBody>
          <DrawerFooter>
            <Button variant="outline" mr={3} onClick={onClose}>
              Cancel
            </Button>
            <Button colorScheme="blue">Save</Button>
          </DrawerFooter>
        </DrawerContent>
      </Drawer>
    </>
  )
}
function DrawerExample() {
  const { isOpen, onOpen, onClose } = useDisclosure()
  const btnRef = React.useRef()
  return (
    <>
      <Button ref={btnRef} colorScheme="teal" onClick={onOpen}>
        Open
      </Button>
      <Drawer
        isOpen={isOpen}
        placement="right"
        onClose={onClose}
        finalFocusRef={btnRef}
      >
        <DrawerOverlay />
        <DrawerContent>
          <DrawerCloseButton />
          <DrawerHeader>Create your account</DrawerHeader>
          <DrawerBody>
            <Input placeholder="Type here..." />
          </DrawerBody>
          <DrawerFooter>
            <Button variant="outline" mr={3} onClick={onClose}>
              Cancel
            </Button>
            <Button colorScheme="blue">Save</Button>
          </DrawerFooter>
        </DrawerContent>
      </Drawer>
    </>
  )
}

Drawer placement#

The Drawer can appear from any edge of the screen. Pass the placement prop and set it to top, right, bottom, or left.

function PlacementExample() {
  const { isOpen, onOpen, onClose } = useDisclosure()
  const [placement, setPlacement] = React.useState("right")
  return (
    <>
      <RadioGroup defaultValue={placement} onChange={setPlacement}>
        <Stack direction="row" mb="4">
          <Radio value="top">Top</Radio>
          <Radio value="right">Right</Radio>
          <Radio value="bottom">Bottom</Radio>
          <Radio value="left">Left</Radio>
        </Stack>
      </RadioGroup>
      <Button colorScheme="blue" onClick={onOpen}>
        Open
      </Button>
      <Drawer placement={placement} onClose={onClose} isOpen={isOpen}>
        <DrawerOverlay />
        <DrawerContent>
          <DrawerHeader borderBottomWidth="1px">Basic Drawer</DrawerHeader>
          <DrawerBody>
            <p>Some contents...</p>
            <p>Some contents...</p>
            <p>Some contents...</p>
          </DrawerBody>
        </DrawerContent>
      </Drawer>
    </>
  )
}
function PlacementExample() {
  const { isOpen, onOpen, onClose } = useDisclosure()
  const [placement, setPlacement] = React.useState("right")
  return (
    <>
      <RadioGroup defaultValue={placement} onChange={setPlacement}>
        <Stack direction="row" mb="4">
          <Radio value="top">Top</Radio>
          <Radio value="right">Right</Radio>
          <Radio value="bottom">Bottom</Radio>
          <Radio value="left">Left</Radio>
        </Stack>
      </RadioGroup>
      <Button colorScheme="blue" onClick={onOpen}>
        Open
      </Button>
      <Drawer placement={placement} onClose={onClose} isOpen={isOpen}>
        <DrawerOverlay />
        <DrawerContent>
          <DrawerHeader borderBottomWidth="1px">Basic Drawer</DrawerHeader>
          <DrawerBody>
            <p>Some contents...</p>
            <p>Some contents...</p>
            <p>Some contents...</p>
          </DrawerBody>
        </DrawerContent>
      </Drawer>
    </>
  )
}

Focus on specific element#

When a form is in the drawer, you might need to set focus on a specific element when the drawer opens. Pass the initialFocusRef prop.

Without the initialFocusRef prop, the drawer will set focus on the first focusable element when it opens.

function DrawerExample() {
  const { isOpen, onOpen, onClose } = useDisclosure()
  const firstField = React.useRef()
  return (
    <>
      <Button leftIcon={<AddIcon />} colorScheme="teal" onClick={onOpen}>
        Create user
      </Button>
      <Drawer
        isOpen={isOpen}
        placement="right"
        initialFocusRef={firstField}
        onClose={onClose}
      >
        <DrawerOverlay />
        <DrawerContent>
          <DrawerCloseButton />
          <DrawerHeader borderBottomWidth="1px">
            Create a new account
          </DrawerHeader>
          <DrawerBody>
            <Stack spacing="24px">
              <Box>
                <FormLabel htmlFor="username">Name</FormLabel>
                <Input
                  ref={firstField}
                  id="username"
                  placeholder="Please enter user name"
                />
              </Box>
              <Box>

          </DrawerFooter>
        </DrawerContent>
      </Drawer>
    </>
  )
}

Drawer Widths#

Pass the size prop if you need to adjust the size of the drawer. Values can be xs, sm, md, lg, xl, or full.

function SizeExample() {
  const [size, setSize] = React.useState("md")
  const { isOpen, onOpen, onClose } = useDisclosure()
  const handleClick = (newSize) => {
    setSize(newSize)
    onOpen()
  }
  const sizes = ["xs", "sm", "md", "lg", "xl", "full"]
  return (
    <>
      {sizes.map((size) => (
        <Button
          onClick={() => handleClick(size)}
          key={size}
          m={4}
        >{`Open ${size} Drawer`}</Button>
      ))}
      <Drawer onClose={onClose} isOpen={isOpen} size={size}>
        <DrawerOverlay />
        <DrawerContent>
          <DrawerHeader>{`${size} drawer contents`}</DrawerHeader>
          <DrawerBody>
            {size === "full"
              ? `You're trapped 😆 , refresh the page to leave or press 'Esc' key.`
              : null}
          </DrawerBody>
        </DrawerContent>
      </Drawer>
    </>
  )
}
function SizeExample() {
  const [size, setSize] = React.useState("md")
  const { isOpen, onOpen, onClose } = useDisclosure()
  const handleClick = (newSize) => {
    setSize(newSize)
    onOpen()
  }
  const sizes = ["xs", "sm", "md", "lg", "xl", "full"]
  return (
    <>
      {sizes.map((size) => (
        <Button
          onClick={() => handleClick(size)}
          key={size}
          m={4}
        >{`Open ${size} Drawer`}</Button>
      ))}
      <Drawer onClose={onClose} isOpen={isOpen} size={size}>
        <DrawerOverlay />
        <DrawerContent>
          <DrawerHeader>{`${size} drawer contents`}</DrawerHeader>
          <DrawerBody>
            {size === "full"
              ? `You're trapped 😆 , refresh the page to leave or press 'Esc' key.`
              : null}
          </DrawerBody>
        </DrawerContent>
      </Drawer>
    </>
  )
}

Using a form in a Drawer#

If you need to put a form within the Drawer, you might need to use to form validation library like react-hook-form or formik. Here's the recommended way to do it:

Because the button is located outside the form, you can leverage its native HTML form attribute and refer to the id of the form.

export const App = () => {
  const { isOpen, onOpen, onClose } = useDisclosure()
  return (
    <>
      <Button onClick={onOpen}>Open</Button>
      <Drawer isOpen={isOpen} onClose={onClose}>
        <DrawerOverlay />
        <DrawerContent>
          <DrawerCloseButton />
          <DrawerHeader>Create your account</DrawerHeader>
          <DrawerBody>
            <form
              id="my-form"
              onSubmit={(e) => {
                e.preventDefault()
                console.log("submitted")
              }}
            >
              <Input name="nickname" placeholder="Type here..." />
            </form>
          </DrawerBody>
          <DrawerFooter>
            <Button type="submit" form="my-form">
              Save
            </Button>
          </DrawerFooter>
        </DrawerContent>
      </Drawer>
    </>
  )
}
export const App = () => {
  const { isOpen, onOpen, onClose } = useDisclosure()
  return (
    <>
      <Button onClick={onOpen}>Open</Button>
      <Drawer isOpen={isOpen} onClose={onClose}>
        <DrawerOverlay />
        <DrawerContent>
          <DrawerCloseButton />
          <DrawerHeader>Create your account</DrawerHeader>
          <DrawerBody>
            <form
              id="my-form"
              onSubmit={(e) => {
                e.preventDefault()
                console.log("submitted")
              }}
            >
              <Input name="nickname" placeholder="Type here..." />
            </form>
          </DrawerBody>
          <DrawerFooter>
            <Button type="submit" form="my-form">
              Save
            </Button>
          </DrawerFooter>
        </DrawerContent>
      </Drawer>
    </>
  )
}

Accessibility#

  • When opening the Drawer, focus is trapped inside the Drawer.
  • By default, the drawer sets focus on the first focusable element. If the initialFocusRef prop is passed, the drawer sets focus on the element with the assigned ref.
  • After the drawer closes, it'll return focus to the element that triggered it.
