Overview

A drawer is a panel that slides in from the edge of its container, providing supplementary content or navigation without leaving the current page.

import '@rhds/elements/rh-drawer/rh-drawer.js';
 
<rh-drawer open="">
  <div slot="header">Header</div>
  <div slot="body">Body</div>
  <div slot="footer">Footer</div>
  <div>
    <h3>Main Content</h3>
    <p>The default auto variant displays as inline at wide container widths and switches to
      overlay below 992px.</p>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing 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>
  </div>
</rh-drawer>
 
import { Drawer } from "@rhds/elements/react/rh-drawer/rh-drawer.js";

// NOTE: React 19+ does not require these wrapper imports.
// You can use the custom elements directly as-is.

export const Demo = () => (
  <Drawer open>
    <div slot="header">Header</div>
    <div slot="body">Body</div>
    <div slot="footer">Footer</div>
    <div>
      <h3>Main Content</h3>
      <p>The default auto variant displays as inline at wide container widths and switches to
        overlay below 992px.</p>
      <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing 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>
    </div>
  </Drawer>
