Drawer

Drawer is a container component displayed as an overlay.


import Drawer from 'primevue/drawer';

Drawer is used as a container and visibility is controlled with a binding to visible.


<div class="card flex justify-center">
    <Drawer v-model:visible="visible" header="Drawer">
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
    </Drawer>
    <Button icon="pi pi-arrow-right" @click="visible = true" />
</div>

Drawer location is configured with the position property that can take left, right, top and bottom as valid values.


<div class="flex gap-2 justify-center">
    <Button icon="pi pi-arrow-right" @click="visibleLeft = true" />
    <Button icon="pi pi-arrow-left" @click="visibleRight = true" />
    <Button icon="pi pi-arrow-down" @click="visibleTop = true" />
    <Button icon="pi pi-arrow-up" @click="visibleBottom = true" />
</div>

<Drawer v-model:visible="visibleLeft" header="Left Drawer">
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
</Drawer>

<Drawer v-model:visible="visibleRight" header="Right Drawer" position="right">
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
</Drawer>

<Drawer v-model:visible="visibleTop" header="Top Drawer" position="top" style="height: auto">
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
</Drawer>

<Drawer v-model:visible="visibleBottom" header="Bottom Drawer" position="bottom" style="height: auto">
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
</Drawer>

Drawer dimension can be defined with style or class properties, this responsive example utilizes Tailwind.


<div class="card flex justify-center">
    <Drawer v-model:visible="visible" header="Drawer" class="!w-full md:!w-80 lg:!w-[30rem]">
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
    </Drawer>
    <Button icon="pi pi-arrow-right" @click="visible = true" />
</div>

The whole page is covered when position property is set as full.


<div class="card flex justify-center">
    <Drawer v-model:visible="visible" header="Drawer" position="full">
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
    </Drawer>
    <Button icon="pi pi-window-maximize" @click="visible = true" />
</div>

Custom content at the header and footer sections is displayed with templating.


<Drawer v-model:visible="visible">
    <template #header>
        <div class="flex items-center gap-2">
            <Avatar image="/images/avatar/amyelsner.png" shape="circle" />
            <span class="font-bold">Amy Elsner</span>
        </div>
    </template>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
    <template #footer>
        <div class="flex items-center gap-2">
            <Button label="Account" icon="pi pi-user" class="flex-auto" outlined></Button>
            <Button label="Logout" icon="pi pi-sign-out" class="flex-auto" severity="danger" text></Button>
        </div>
    </template>
</Drawer>
<Button icon="pi pi-plus" @click="visible = true" />

Headless mode is enabled by defining a container slot that lets you implement entire UI instead of the default elements.


<Drawer v-model:visible="visible">
    <template #container="{ closeCallback }">
        <div class="flex flex-col h-full">
            <div class="flex items-center justify-between px-6 pt-4 shrink-0">

Screen Reader

Drawer component uses complementary role by default, since any attribute is passed to the root element aria role can be changed depending on your use case and additional attributes like aria-labelledby can be added. In addition aria-modal is added since focus is kept within the drawer when opened.

Trigger element also requires aria-expanded and aria-controls to be handled explicitly.


<Button label="Show" icon="pi pi-external-link" @click="visible = true" :aria-controls="visible ? 'sbar' : null" :aria-expanded="visible"/>

<Drawer id="sbar" v-model:visible="visible" role="region" >
