Contained to an Element

By default, drawers slide out of their containing block, which is usually the viewport. To make a drawer slide out of a parent element, add the contained attribute to the drawer and apply position: relative to its parent.

Unlike normal drawers, contained drawers are not modal. This means they do not show an overlay, they do not trap focus, and they are not dismissible with Escape. This is intentional to allow users to interact with elements outside of the drawer.

Custom Size

Use the --size custom property to set the drawer’s size. This will be applied to the drawer’s width or height depending on its placement.

This drawer is always 50% of the viewport. Close Open Drawer
<gstock-drawer label="Drawer" style="--size: 50vw;">
  This drawer is always 50% of the viewport.
  <gstock-button slot="footer" variant="outlined" >Close</gstock-button>
</gstock-drawer>

<gstock-button>Open Drawer</gstock-button>

<script type="module">
  const drawer = document.querySelector('gstock-drawer');
  const openButton = drawer.nextElementSibling;
  const closeButton = drawer.querySelector('gstock-button[variant="outlined" ]');

  openButton.addEventListener('click', () => drawer.show());
  closeButton.addEventListener('click', () => drawer.hide());
</script>

Scrolling

By design, a drawer’s height will never exceed 100% of its container. As such, drawers will not scroll with the page to ensure the header and footer are always accessible to the user.

Scroll down and give it a try! 👇

Close
Open Drawer
<gstock-drawer label="Drawer">
  <div style="height: 150vh; border: dashed 2px var(--gstock-legacy-color-grayscale-200); padding: 0 1rem;">
    <p>Scroll down and give it a try! 👇</p>
  </div>
  <gstock-button slot="footer" variant="outlined" >Close</gstock-button>
</gstock-drawer>

<gstock-button>Open Drawer</gstock-button>

<script type="module">
  const drawer = document.querySelector('gstock-drawer');
  const openButton = drawer.nextElementSibling;
  const closeButton = drawer.querySelector('gstock-button[variant="outlined" ]');

  openButton.addEventListener('click', () => drawer.show());
  closeButton.addEventListener('click', () => drawer.hide());
</script>

Header Actions

The header shows a functional close button by default. You can use the header-actions slot to add additional icon buttons if needed.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Close Open Drawer
<gstock-drawer label="Drawer">
  <gstock-icon-button class="new-window" slot="header-actions" icon="link" variant="plain"></gstock-icon-button>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
  <gstock-button slot="footer" variant="outlined">Close</gstock-button>
</gstock-drawer>

<gstock-button>Open Drawer</gstock-button>

<script type="module">
  const drawer = document.querySelector('gstock-drawer');
  const openButton = drawer.nextElementSibling;
  const closeButton = drawer.querySelector('gstock-button[variant="outlined"]');
  const newWindowButton = drawer.querySelector('.new-window');

  openButton.addEventListener('click', () => drawer.show());
  closeButton.addEventListener('click', () => drawer.hide());
  newWindowButton.addEventListener('click', () => window.open(location.href));
</script>

Prevent closure

By default, drawers will close when the user clicks the close button, clicks the overlay, or presses the Escape key. In most cases, the default behavior is the best behavior in terms of UX. However, there are situations where this may be undesirable, such as when data loss will occur.

To keep the drawer open in such cases, you can cancel the gstock-request-close-event event. When canceled, the drawer will remain open and pulse briefly to draw the user’s attention to it.

You can use event.detail.source to determine what triggered the request to close. This example prevents the drawer from closing when the overlay is clicked, but allows the close button or Escape to dismiss it.

This drawer will not close when you click on the overlay. Close Open Drawer
<gstock-drawer label="Drawer">
  This drawer will not close when you click on the overlay.
  <gstock-button slot="footer" variant="outlined" >Close</gstock-button>
</gstock-drawer>

<gstock-button>Open Drawer</gstock-button>

<script type="module">
  const drawer = document.querySelector('gstock-drawer');
  const openButton = drawer.nextElementSibling;
  const closeButton = drawer.querySelector('gstock-button[variant="outlined" ]');

  openButton.addEventListener('click', () => drawer.show());
  closeButton.addEventListener('click', () => drawer.hide());

  // Prevent the drawer from closing when the user clicks on the overlay
  drawer.addEventListener('gstock-request-close-event', event => {
    if (event.detail.source === 'overlay') {
      event.preventDefault();
    }
  });
</script>

Customizing Initial Focus

By default, the drawer’s panel will gain focus when opened. This allows a subsequent tab press to focus on the first tabbable element in the drawer. If you want a different element to have focus, add the autofocus attribute to it as shown below.

Close Open Drawer
<gstock-drawer label="Drawer">
  <gstock-input autofocus placeholder="I will have focus when the drawer is opened"></gstock-input>
  <gstock-button slot="footer" variant="outlined" >Close</gstock-button>
</gstock-drawer>

<gstock-button>Open Drawer</gstock-button>

<script type="module">
  const drawer = document.querySelector('gstock-drawer');
  const input = drawer.querySelector('gstock-input');
  const openButton = drawer.nextElementSibling;
  const closeButton = drawer.querySelector('gstock-button[variant="outlined" ]');

  openButton.addEventListener('click', () => drawer.show());
  closeButton.addEventListener('click', () => drawer.hide());
</script>
