Left Drawer Navigation Menu for React

A left Navigation drawer with Home, Team, Projects, Settings, and Help, each an icon and a label.

A menu button opens a left panel titled Navigation. Inside are Home, Team, Projects, Settings, and Help, each an icon with a label.

Use it for navigation on a phone. On a wide layout, keep the same links in a Sidebar. In React, Base UI does not change the route.

FAQ

Which items does the menu have?

Home, Team, Projects, Settings and Help, each a ghost Button with justify-start, an icon marked data-icon="inline-start" and its label.

Where is the drawer's title?

Navigation, above the menu, is the DrawerTitle. DrawerTitle names the dialog for assistive tech, so every drawer renders one; give it sr-only when the design has no visible heading.

How does the drawer open from the left?

swipeDirection="left" on Drawer puts it on the left edge. The prop names the swipe that closes the drawer, so left docks it on the left; leave it out for a bottom drawer.

How is the menu button labeled?

An outline icon button opens the drawer. Its aria-label, Open navigation, is the accessible name; the icon is aria-hidden. The Button goes in the render prop of DrawerTrigger.

Does the drawer close when an item is picked?

Not in this demo: the items have no handler. Close it when people navigate: Pass open to Drawer; onOpenChange receives the next boolean.
