A drawer that smoothly slides in & out of the screen.

Usage

Use a Button or any other component in the default slot of the Drawer.

Then, use the #content slot to add the content displayed when the Drawer is open.

<template>
  <UDrawer>
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" trailing-icon="i-lucide-chevron-up" />

    <template #content>
      <Placeholder class="h-48 m-4" />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>

You can also use the #header, #body and #footer slots to customize the Drawer's content.

Title

Use the title prop to set the title of the Drawer's header.

<template>
  <UDrawer title="Drawer with title">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" trailing-icon="i-lucide-chevron-up" />

    <template #body>
      <Placeholder class="h-48" />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>

Description

Use the description prop to set the description of the Drawer's header.

<template>
  <UDrawer
    title="Drawer with description"
    description="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit."
  >
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" trailing-icon="i-lucide-chevron-up" />

    <template #body>
      <Placeholder class="h-48" />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>

Direction

Use the direction prop to control the direction of the Drawer. Defaults to bottom.

<template>
  <UDrawer direction="top">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" trailing-icon="i-lucide-chevron-up" />

    <template #content>
      <Placeholder class="h-96 m-4" />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>
<template>
  <UDrawer direction="right">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" trailing-icon="i-lucide-chevron-up" />

    <template #content>
      <Placeholder class="w-96 m-4" />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>

Handle

Use the handle prop to control whether the Drawer has a handle or not. Defaults to true.

<template>
  <UDrawer :handle="false">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" trailing-icon="i-lucide-chevron-up" />

    <template #content>
      <Placeholder class="h-48 m-4" />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>

Overlay

Use the overlay prop to control whether the Drawer has an overlay or not. Defaults to true.

<template>
  <UDrawer :overlay="false">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" trailing-icon="i-lucide-chevron-up" />

    <template #content>
      <Placeholder class="h-48 m-4" />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>

Scale background

Use the should-scale-background prop to scale the background when the Drawer is open, creating a visual depth effect.

<template>
  <UDrawer should-scale-background>
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" trailing-icon="i-lucide-chevron-up" />

    <template #content>
      <Placeholder class="h-48 m-4" />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>
Make sure to add the vaul-drawer-wrapper directive to a parent element of your app to make this work.
app.vue
<template>
  <UApp>
    <div class="bg-[var(--ui-bg)]" vaul-drawer-wrapper>
      <NuxtLayout>
        <NuxtPage />
      </NuxtLayout>
    </div>
  </UApp>
</template>
nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  app: {
    rootAttrs: {
      'vaul-drawer-wrapper': '',
      'class': 'bg-[var(--ui-bg)]'
    }
  }
})

Examples

Control open state

You can control the open state by using the default-open prop or the v-model:open directive.

<script setup lang="ts">
const open = ref(false)

defineShortcuts({
  o: () => (open.value = !open.value)
})
</script>

<template>
  <UDrawer v-model:open="open">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" trailing-icon="i-lucide-chevron-up" />

    <template #content>
      <Placeholder class="h-48 m-4" />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>
In this example, leveraging defineShortcuts, you can toggle the Drawer by pressing O.
This allows you to move the trigger outside of the Drawer or remove it entirely.

Use the #footer slot to add content after the Drawer's body.

<script setup lang="ts">
const open = ref(false)
</script>

<template>
  <UDrawer
    v-model:open="open"
    title="Drawer with footer"
    description="This is useful when you want a form in a Drawer."
    :ui="{ container: 'max-w-xl mx-auto' }"
  >
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" trailing-icon="i-lucide-chevron-up" />

    <template #body>
      <Placeholder class="h-48" />
    </template>

    <template #footer>
      <UButton label="Submit" color="neutral" class="justify-center" />
      <UButton
        label="Cancel"
        color="neutral"
        variant="outline"
        class="justify-center"
        @click="open = false"
      />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>

With command palette

You can use a CommandPalette component inside the Drawer's content.

<script setup lang="ts">
const searchTerm = ref('')

const { data: users, status } = await useFetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users', {
  params: { q: searchTerm },
  transform: (data: { id: number, name: string, email: string }[]) => {
    return data?.map(user => ({ id: user.id, label: user.name, suffix: user.email, avatar: { src: `https://i.pravatar.cc/120?img=${user.id}` } })) || []
  },
  lazy: true
})

const groups = computed(() => [{
  id: 'users',
  label: searchTerm.value ? `Users matching “${searchTerm.value}”...` : 'Users',
  items: users.value || [],
  filter: false
}])
</script>

<template>
  <UDrawer :handle="false">
    <UButton
      label="Search users..."
      color="neutral"
      variant="subtle"
      icon="i-lucide-search"
    />

    <template #content>
      <UCommandPalette
        v-model:search-term="searchTerm"
        :loading="status === 'pending'"
        :groups="groups"
        placeholder="Search users..."
        class="h-80"
      />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>
