Visual

test-case

Complete drawer layout pattern with header, scrollable content, and footer sections for consistent drawer structure.

Scroll

test-case

Drawer with scrollable content for overflow behavior. Use when drawer content exceeds viewport height, ensuring header and footer remain fixed while content scrolls independently.

Events

test-case
Event Description close

Dispatched when the drawer closes.

open

Dispatched when the drawer opens.

toggle

Dispatched on a popover element just after showing or hiding. MDN

beforetoggle

Dispatched on a popover just before showing or hiding. MDN

Small

test-case

Small drawer size for compact side panels and quick actions. Ideal for navigation menus, filters, or supplementary information that shouldn't dominate the screen.

Large

test-case

Large drawer size for comprehensive content like detailed forms or settings panels. Use when users need significant screen space for complex tasks without leaving the current page context.

Non Closable

test-case

Non-closable drawer requiring explicit user action to close. Use for critical workflows or multi-step processes where users must complete or explicitly cancel actions, preventing accidental dismissal.

Position

test-case

Determines the position of an element along both inline and block axis. MDN

Position Description left right bottom top

Legacy Position

test-case

Legacy drawer positioning with manual visibility management. Uses an older pattern with programmatic position control and event handling for backward compatibility.

Inline

test-case

Create a inline layout effect while retaining the a11y characteristics and top layer behavior (light dismiss, focus trap, non interactive background)https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/dialog-modal/

Inline Description true false

Inline Visible

test-case

Inline drawer in persistent open state for always-visible side panels. Use for navigation, filters, or contextual information that should remain accessible while users interact with main content.

Legacy Inline

test-case

Legacy inline drawer pattern with manual visibility control. Uses an older implementation for inline drawer management; prefer the modern popovertarget API for new implementations.

Legacy Behavior Trigger

test-case

Legacy behavior-trigger pattern for automatic drawer lifecycle management. Deprecated approach that auto-manages visibility and state, prefer modern popovertarget API for new implementations.
