</CodeTabs>

Add the following to your global styles. On iOS Safari, the drawer overlay is absolutely positioned and requires a positioned `body` to cover the viewport after the page is scrolled. See the [Base UI docs](https://base-ui.com/react/overview/quick-start#ios-26-safari) for details.

```css
body {
  position: relative;
}
```

## Usage

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

```tsx showLineNumbers
<Drawer>
  <DrawerTrigger render={<Button variant="outline" />}>Open</DrawerTrigger>
  <DrawerContent>
    <DrawerHeader>
      <DrawerTitle>Are you absolutely sure?</DrawerTitle>
      <DrawerDescription>This action cannot be undone.</DrawerDescription>
    </DrawerHeader>
    <div className="p-4">{/* Content here */}</div>
    <DrawerFooter>
      <Button>Submit</Button>
      <DrawerClose render={<Button variant="outline" />}>Cancel</DrawerClose>
    </DrawerFooter>
  </DrawerContent>
</Drawer>
```

## Composition

Use the following composition to build a `Drawer`:

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

`DrawerContent` composes the portal, overlay, viewport, and popup from Base UI. For lower-level control, `DrawerPortal`, `DrawerOverlay`, and `DrawerSwipeHandle` are also exported.

## Custom Sizes

A vertical drawer sizes itself to its content and is capped at `calc(100dvh - 6rem)` by default. A side drawer spans `75%` of the viewport width, or `24rem` on larger screens.

To customize the height of a vertical drawer, use the `h-*` and `max-h-*` utilities on `DrawerContent`.

```tsx
<DrawerContent className="h-[50vh]">
```

To customize the width of a side drawer, use the `w-*` and `max-w-*` utilities on `DrawerContent`.

```tsx
<DrawerContent className="w-96">
```

When the same component renders in multiple directions, scope an override to one axis using the `data-[swipe-axis=*]` variants.

```tsx
<DrawerContent className="data-[swipe-axis=y]:max-h-[50vh] data-[swipe-axis=x]:w-96">
```

To make a region of the drawer scrollable, make the scroll container a flex item. Avoid `h-full`, which does not resolve inside a content-sized drawer.

```tsx
<DrawerContent>
  <DrawerHeader>...</DrawerHeader>
  <div className="flex-1 overflow-y-auto p-4">{/* Scrollable content */}</div>
  <DrawerFooter>...</DrawerFooter>
</DrawerContent>
```

## Styling

The drawer exposes CSS variables for style-level customization. Set the sizing variables on `DrawerContent`. Set the overlay variable on `[data-slot=drawer-overlay]` in your CSS.

| Variable                       | Default                | Description                                                             |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--drawer-inset`               | `0px`                  | Floats the drawer from the viewport edges.                              |
| `--drawer-bleed-background`    | `var(--color-popover)` | Fills the gap behind the drawer on swipe overshoot.                     |
| `--drawer-overlay-min-opacity` | `0`                    | Minimum overlay opacity. Defaults to `0.5` when snap points are active. |

The drawer also sets data attributes you can target with variants such as `data-[swipe-direction=down]:` on `DrawerContent`, or `group-data-[swipe-axis=y]/drawer-popup:` on its descendants.

| Attribute                 | Values                        | Set when                              |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `data-swipe-direction`    | `up`, `right`, `down`, `left` | Always.                               |
| `data-swipe-axis`         | `x`, `y`                      | Always.                               |
| `data-snap-points`        | Present                       | The drawer has snap points.           |
| `data-expanded`           | Present                       | The drawer is at the full snap point. |
| `data-swiping`            | Present                       | A swipe is in progress.               |
| `data-nested-drawer-open` | Present                       | A nested drawer is open on top.       |

## Examples

### Position

Use the `swipeDirection` prop to set the side of the drawer.

Available options are `up`, `right`, `down`, and `left`.

<ComponentPreview styleName="base-rhea" name="drawer-sides" />

### Swipe Handle

Use `showSwipeHandle` on `Drawer` to render a swipe handle.

<ComponentPreview styleName="base-rhea" name="drawer-swipe-handle" />

### Nested

Open drawers from inside another drawer. Parent drawers stay mounted and stack behind the frontmost drawer.

<ComponentPreview styleName="base-rhea" name="drawer-nested" />

### Non Modal

Set `modal={false}` to allow interaction with the rest of the page while the drawer is open. Combine with `disablePointerDismissal` to prevent the drawer from closing on outside presses. Use `modal="trap-focus"` to keep focus inside the drawer while leaving scroll and pointer interaction unrestricted.

<ComponentPreview styleName="base-rhea" name="drawer-non-modal" />

### Snap Points

Use `snapPoints` to snap a drawer to preset heights. Numbers between `0` and `1` represent fractions of the viewport. Numbers greater than `1` are treated as pixel values. String values support `px` and `rem` units. Snap points apply to vertical drawers.

Track the active snap point with the controlled `snapPoint` and `onSnapPointChange` props. At the full snap point, the drawer gets a `data-expanded` attribute you can style with the `data-expanded:` variant.

<ComponentPreview styleName="base-rhea" name="drawer-snap-points" />

### Responsive

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.

<ComponentPreview styleName="base-rhea" name="drawer-dialog" />

## Migrating from Vaul

The base drawer now uses [Base UI](https://base-ui.com/react/components/drawer)
instead of Vaul. If you installed the previous base drawer, update your usage
to the Base UI API.

<Steps>

<Step>Update the dependency.</Step>

```diff
- npm install vaul
+ npm install @base-ui/react
```

<Step>Replace `direction` with `swipeDirection`.</Step>

Use `down` instead of `bottom`, and `up` instead of `top`. `left` and `right`
stay the same.

```diff
- <Drawer direction="bottom">
+ <Drawer swipeDirection="down">
```

<Step>Replace `asChild` with `render`.</Step>

For `DrawerTrigger`, pass the trigger element to the `render` prop.

```diff
- <DrawerTrigger asChild>
-   <Button variant="outline">Open</Button>
- </DrawerTrigger>
+ <DrawerTrigger render={<Button variant="outline" />}>
+   Open
+ </DrawerTrigger>
```

For `DrawerClose`, pass the close element to the `render` prop.

```diff
- <DrawerClose asChild>
-   <Button variant="outline">Cancel</Button>
- </DrawerClose>
+ <DrawerClose render={<Button variant="outline" />}>
+   Cancel
+ </DrawerClose>
```

<Step>Update snap point props.</Step>

If you use snap points, rename the controlled snap point props and the sequential
snap point prop.

```diff
  <Drawer
    snapPoints={[0.25, 0.5, 1]}
-   activeSnapPoint={snapPoint}
-   setActiveSnapPoint={setSnapPoint}
-   snapToSequentialPoint
+   snapPoint={snapPoint}
+   onSnapPointChange={setSnapPoint}
+   snapToSequentialPoints
  >
```

<Step>Update animation and focus props.</Step>

```diff
- <Drawer onAnimationEnd={(open) => setDone(open)}>
+ <Drawer onOpenChangeComplete={(open) => setDone(open)}>
```

```diff
- <DrawerContent onOpenAutoFocus={(event) => event.preventDefault()}>
+ <DrawerContent initialFocus={false}>
```

<Step>Review Vaul-only props.</Step>

Vaul props like `handleOnly`, `repositionInputs`, and
`shouldScaleBackground` do not have one-to-one replacements in the base drawer
API. Use Base UI props such as `disablePointerDismissal`, `modal`, `snapPoints`,
or controlled `open` state for the behavior you need.

```diff
- <Drawer handleOnly repositionInputs={false} shouldScaleBackground>
+ <Drawer>
```

```diff
- <Drawer dismissible={false}>
+ <Drawer disablePointerDismissal>
```

<Step>Update custom data attribute selectors.</Step>

Replace Vaul's `data-vaul-drawer-direction` selectors with Base UI's
`data-swipe-direction` selectors.

```diff
- <DrawerContent className="data-[vaul-drawer-direction=bottom]:max-h-[50vh]">
+ <DrawerContent className="data-[swipe-direction=down]:max-h-[50vh]">
```

Base UI also exposes attributes like `data-swiping`, `data-starting-style`, and
`data-ending-style` for swipe and transition states. Descendants inside
`DrawerContent` can use `group-data-[swipe-axis=x]/drawer-popup` and
`group-data-[swipe-axis=y]/drawer-popup` for axis-specific styling.
