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>
</>
)
}

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>
</>
)
}

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>
<FormLabel htmlFor="url">Url</FormLabel>
<InputGroup>
<InputLeftAddon>http://</InputLeftAddon>
<Input
type="url"
id="url"
placeholder="Please enter domain"
/>
<InputRightAddon>.com</InputRightAddon>
</InputGroup>
</Box>
<Box>
<FormLabel htmlFor="owner">Select Owner</FormLabel>
<Select id="owner" defaultValue="segun">
<option value="segun">Segun Adebayo</option>
<option value="kola">Kola Tioluwani</option>
</Select>
</Box>
<Box>
<FormLabel htmlFor="desc">Description</FormLabel>
<Textarea id="desc" />
</Box>
</Stack>
</DrawerBody>
<DrawerFooter borderTopWidth="1px">
<Button variant="outline" mr={3} onClick={onClose}>
Cancel
</Button>
<Button colorScheme="blue">Submit</Button>
</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>
</>
)
}

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>
</>
)
}

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.
