  • Show secondary navigation, filters, or settings without leaving the current page.
  • Present a focused task or details panel that should behave as a modal dialog.
  • Use when the 8-bit theme should carry through to an overlay interaction.
  • Choose a side other than the default right edge when the panel should enter from the top, bottom, or left.

Examples

Account panel

A default right-side panel with a title, description, and footer action.

Left-side filters

A left-entering panel with the normal font variant.

left-side-filters.tsx
import { Sheet, SheetContent, SheetDescription, SheetHeader, SheetTitle, SheetTrigger } from "@/components/ui/8bit/sheet";export function FilterPanel() {  return (    <Sheet>      <SheetTrigger>Open filters</SheetTrigger>      <SheetContent side="left" font="normal">        <SheetHeader>          <SheetTitle>Filters</SheetTitle>          <SheetDescription>Choose which items to display.</SheetDescription>        </SheetHeader>      </SheetContent>    </Sheet>  );}

Bottom details panel

A bottom-entering panel with custom content styling.

bottom-details-panel.tsx
import { Sheet, SheetContent, SheetDescription, SheetHeader, SheetTitle, SheetTrigger } from "@/components/ui/8bit/sheet";export function OrderDetailsPanel() {  return (    <Sheet>      <SheetTrigger>View order details</SheetTrigger>      <SheetContent side="bottom" className="p-6">        <SheetHeader>          <SheetTitle>Order details</SheetTitle>          <SheetDescription>Your order is being prepared.</SheetDescription>        </SheetHeader>      </SheetContent>    </Sheet>  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
side"top" | "right" | "bottom" | "left""right"Selects the panel edge and corresponding slide animation.
font"normal" | "retro" | null"retro"Selects the font variant applied to the content. The retro variant uses the `retro` class; the normal variant adds no font class.
classNamestring—Inherited from Radix Dialog.Content props and merged with the component's layout, animation, side, and font classes.
childrenReact.ReactNode—Inherited from Radix Dialog.Content props and rendered inside the panel's bordered content area.
Other Radix Dialog.Content propsReact.ComponentProps<typeof SheetPrimitive.Content>—SheetContent accepts the remaining Radix Dialog.Content props, including its event handlers and modal-content options.

Accessibility

  • Sheet, SheetTrigger, and the related primitives inherit dialog behavior from the shadcn Sheet and Radix Dialog primitives, including keyboard interaction and focus management.
  • Provide a SheetTitle and, when appropriate, a SheetDescription so the dialog has a meaningful accessible name and description.
  • The built-in close control includes a visually hidden “Close” label; its pixel-art border details are hidden from assistive technology.
  • Use descriptive trigger text so people can tell what opening the panel will do.
