usage.tsx
import {  Drawer,  DrawerClose,  DrawerContent,  DrawerDescription,  DrawerFooter,  DrawerHeader,  DrawerTitle,  DrawerTrigger,} from "@/components/ui/8bit/drawer";export function DrawerExamples() {  return (    <div>      <Drawer>        <DrawerTrigger>Delete item</DrawerTrigger>        <DrawerContent>          <DrawerHeader>            <DrawerTitle>Delete this item?</DrawerTitle>            <DrawerDescription>This action cannot be undone.</DrawerDescription>          </DrawerHeader>          <DrawerFooter>            <DrawerClose>Cancel</DrawerClose>            <button type="button">Delete</button>          </DrawerFooter>        </DrawerContent>      </Drawer>      <Drawer>        <DrawerTrigger>Open settings</DrawerTrigger>        <DrawerContent side="right">          <DrawerHeader>            <DrawerTitle>Settings</DrawerTitle>            <DrawerDescription>Adjust your preferences.</DrawerDescription>          </DrawerHeader>          <DrawerFooter>            <DrawerClose>Close</DrawerClose>          </DrawerFooter>        </DrawerContent>      </Drawer>      <Drawer>        <DrawerTrigger>Open menu</DrawerTrigger>        <DrawerContent side="left">          <DrawerHeader>            <DrawerTitle>Menu</DrawerTitle>            <DrawerDescription>Choose a destination.</DrawerDescription>          </DrawerHeader>          <nav aria-label="Main menu">            <a href="/home">Home</a>          </nav>          <DrawerFooter>            <DrawerClose>Close menu</DrawerClose>          </DrawerFooter>        </DrawerContent>      </Drawer>    </div>  );}
  • Present a focused confirmation or short action flow without navigating away.
  • Show settings or contextual controls in a panel that enters from the side.
  • Provide a compact mobile-friendly menu or detail panel with a retro game aesthetic.

Examples

Bottom confirmation drawer

Use the default bottom placement for a short confirmation flow.

bottom-confirmation-drawer.tsx
import { Drawer, DrawerClose, DrawerContent, DrawerDescription, DrawerFooter, DrawerHeader, DrawerTitle, DrawerTrigger } from "@/components/ui/8bit/drawer";export function DeleteConfirmation() {  return (    <Drawer>      <DrawerTrigger>Delete item</DrawerTrigger>      <DrawerContent>        <DrawerHeader>          <DrawerTitle>Delete this item?</DrawerTitle>          <DrawerDescription>This action cannot be undone.</DrawerDescription>        </DrawerHeader>        <DrawerFooter>          <DrawerClose>Cancel</DrawerClose>          <button type="button">Delete</button>        </DrawerFooter>      </DrawerContent>    </Drawer>  );}

Right-side settings panel

Set `side="right"` for a settings panel that slides in from the right.

right-side-settings-panel.tsx
import { Drawer, DrawerClose, DrawerContent, DrawerDescription, DrawerHeader, DrawerTitle, DrawerTrigger } from "@/components/ui/8bit/drawer";export function SettingsDrawer() {  return (    <Drawer>      <DrawerTrigger>Open settings</DrawerTrigger>      <DrawerContent side="right">        <DrawerHeader>          <DrawerTitle>Settings</DrawerTitle>          <DrawerDescription>Adjust your preferences.</DrawerDescription>        </DrawerHeader>        <DrawerClose>Close</DrawerClose>      </DrawerContent>    </Drawer>  );}

Left-side navigation panel

Set `side="left"` for a menu that slides in from the left.

left-side-navigation-panel.tsx
import { Drawer, DrawerClose, DrawerContent, DrawerDescription, DrawerHeader, DrawerTitle, DrawerTrigger } from "@/components/ui/8bit/drawer";export function NavigationDrawer() {  return (    <Drawer>      <DrawerTrigger>Open menu</DrawerTrigger>      <DrawerContent side="left">        <DrawerHeader>          <DrawerTitle>Menu</DrawerTitle>          <DrawerDescription>Choose a destination.</DrawerDescription>        </DrawerHeader>        <nav aria-label="Main menu">          <a href="/home">Home</a>        </nav>        <DrawerClose>Close menu</DrawerClose>      </DrawerContent>    </Drawer>  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
DrawerAlias of the shadcn Drawer root component—Uses the underlying shadcn/Vaul root component and its props; this file does not add or override root props.
DrawerContentReact.ComponentProps<typeof DrawerPrimitive.Content> & VariantProps<typeof drawerVariants> & { side?: "right" | "bottom" | "left" }—Accepts the Vaul Content props, including `className` and `children`, plus `side` (defaults to `"bottom"`) and optional `font` (`"normal"` or `"retro"`). The `drawerVariants` definition declares `font` with a `"retro"` default, but this wrapper does not call the variant function; it always adds the `retro` class, and the `font` prop is forwarded to the primitive.
DrawerTriggerReact.ComponentProps<typeof DrawerPrimitive.Trigger>—Forwards Vaul Trigger props, including `asChild`, `className`, and `children`. Adds retro styling; its default border and background trigger styles are applied only when `asChild` is false.
DrawerTitleReact.ComponentProps<typeof DrawerPrimitive.Title>—Forwards Vaul Title props and adds the `retro` class alongside any supplied `className`.
DrawerDescriptionReact.ComponentProps<typeof DrawerPrimitive.Description>—Forwards Vaul Description props and adds the `retro` class alongside any supplied `className`.
DrawerHeaderReact.ComponentProps<"div">—Accepts standard div props and adds the `retro` class.
DrawerFooterReact.ComponentProps<"div">—Accepts standard div props and adds the `retro` class.
DrawerCloseAlias of the shadcn DrawerClose component—Uses the underlying shadcn close component and its props; this file does not add or override props.
DrawerOverlayAlias of the shadcn DrawerOverlay component—Uses the underlying shadcn overlay component and its props; this file does not add or override props.
DrawerPortalAlias of the shadcn DrawerPortal component—Uses the underlying shadcn portal component and its props; this file does not add or override props.

Accessibility

  • Give each drawer a meaningful `DrawerTitle`; use `DrawerDescription` for supporting context where appropriate.
  • Use a keyboard-operable trigger, and provide a clear way to close the drawer, such as `DrawerClose`.
  • When using `DrawerTrigger` with `asChild`, ensure the child element itself has appropriate interactive semantics and an accessible name.
  • Keep the underlying shadcn/Vaul drawer’s focus and keyboard behavior intact when customizing its content.
