Mobile Menu Sheet for React

A Menu button opens a left-side sheet titled Menu, with Home, Products, About, and Contact stacked as links.

The trigger says Menu, and so does the sheet title. Under it, Home, Products, About, and Contact are stacked.

Use it as the navigation on a small screen. On a wide page, keep those links in a Navigation Menu. In React, Base UI does not mark the current page.

FAQ

Why does the menu open from the left?

side="left" on SheetContent slides the panel in from the left, where people look for a menu. It fills the height and caps its width from the sm breakpoint.

Does the sheet close when a link is clicked?

Links in a sheet don't close it. When a link changes the page, close the sheet in its click handler, or let your router's navigation unmount it. To close it from code, control the open state: Pass open to Sheet; onOpenChange receives the next boolean.

How do I show it only on small screens?

Hide the trigger from the md breakpoint up, with md:hidden, and show your full navigation there instead.

How does the Menu button open the sheet?

The outline button labeled Menu is the trigger, and its text is the accessible name. The Button goes in the render prop of SheetTrigger, and the label stays its child.

What does the menu announce?

SheetTitle names the dialog for assistive tech, so every sheet renders one; hide it with sr-only when the design has no visible heading. It reads Menu. The sheet has no description, which is fine: the title says enough.
