Left Drawer with Search for Solid

A left drawer with a search field, a Main Menu of Home, Team, and Documents, and a Settings group.

UI library: Ark UI

A search field leads the panel. Main Menu lists Home, Team, and Documents, and Settings lists Preferences. The title Navigation is hidden, since the field leads.

Use it when a long phone menu needs a filter. On a desktop, put that search in a Sidebar. In Solid, Ark UI does not filter the links.

FAQ

Does the search filter the items?

Not in this demo: the input is uncontrolled. Keep the query in state and hide the items whose label doesn't match, or send it to your search page.

How are the groups marked up?

Each group has a small uppercase heading and its own nav with an aria-label, Main menu and Settings, so screen readers list them as separate landmarks.

Why is the title hidden?

DrawerTitle names the dialog for assistive tech, so every drawer renders one; give it sr-only when the design has no visible heading. Here it reads Navigation and has sr-only, so the search field sits at the top.

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. asChild on DrawerTrigger receives props: spread them onto the button.

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.
