  <Drawer>
    <Button>Open Drawer</Button>
    <Drawer.Backdrop>
      <Drawer.Content>
        <Drawer.Dialog>
          <Drawer.Handle />

  </Drawer>
);

Placement

Backdrop Variants

Non-Dismissable

Set isDismissable={false} on Drawer.Backdrop to prevent closing by clicking outside or dragging. The user must interact with the drawer's action buttons.

Scrollable Content

The Drawer.Body automatically handles overflow with native scrolling. Drag-to-dismiss is excluded from the body area to avoid scroll conflicts.

Controlled State

With Form

Navigation Drawer

Styling

Passing Tailwind CSS classes

import { Drawer, Button } from "@heroui/react";

function CustomDrawer() {
  return (
    <Drawer>
      <Button>Open Drawer</Button>
      <Drawer.Backdrop className="bg-black/80">
        <Drawer.Content>
          <Drawer.Dialog className="bg-linear-to-br from-purple-500 to-pink-500 text-white">
            <Drawer.CloseTrigger />
            <Drawer.Header>
              <Drawer.Heading>Custom Styled Drawer</Drawer.Heading>
            </Drawer.Header>
            <Drawer.Body>
              <p>This drawer has custom styling applied via Tailwind classes.</p>
            </Drawer.Body>
            <Drawer.Footer>
              <Button slot="close">Close</Button>
            </Drawer.Footer>
          </Drawer.Dialog>
        </Drawer.Content>
      </Drawer.Backdrop>
    </Drawer>
  );
}

Customizing the component classes

To customize the Drawer component classes, you can use the @layer components directive.

Learn more.

@layer components {
  .drawer__backdrop {
    @apply bg-gradient-to-br from-black/50 to-black/70;
  }

  .drawer__dialog {
    @apply rounded-2xl border border-white/10 shadow-2xl;
  }

  .drawer__header {
    @apply text-center;
  }

  .drawer__close-trigger {
    @apply rounded-full bg-white/10 hover:bg-white/20;
  }
}

HeroUI follows the BEM methodology to ensure component variants and states are reusable and easy to customize.

useOverlayState Hook

const state = useOverlayState({
  defaultOpen: false,
  onOpenChange: (isOpen) => console.log(isOpen),
});

state.isOpen; // Current state

Accessibility

Implements WAI-ARIA Dialog pattern:

• Focus trap: Focus locked within drawer when open
• Keyboard: ESC closes (when dismissable), Tab cycles elements
• Screen readers: Proper ARIA attributes via React Aria
• Scroll lock: Body scroll disabled when open
• Drag to dismiss: Supports pointer-based drag gestures on handle, header, and footer areas
