Right Drawer Notifications for Vue

A bell with a 5 badge opens a Notifications drawer that says 5 unread, plus Mark all as read.

UI library: Ark UI

A bell with a badge of 5 opens a panel titled Notifications. It says you have 5 unread notifications, lists each item with a dot, and ends with Mark all as read.

Use it for an activity list on a phone. A short list can hang off the bell in a Popover. In Vue, Ark UI does not mark the items read.

FAQ

How is the bell button labeled?

It's icon-only, so aria-label gives the name and the count: Notifications, 5 unread. The badge is aria-hidden, so the count isn't read twice.

How are unread notifications marked?

A primary dot, a medium-weight title and a visually hidden Unread before the title. Read ones get a muted dot and regular weight, so the state isn't color alone.

Why is each notification a button?

So people can open it with a click or the keyboard. The rows have no handler yet: open the related page from each one.

Does Mark all as read clear the dots?

It's a DrawerClose, so it closes the drawer; it doesn't change the data. Keep the notifications in state and set them all read when it's pressed.

How does the drawer open from the right?

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

What does the drawer announce?

DrawerTitle names the dialog for assistive tech, so every drawer renders one; give it sr-only when the design has no visible heading. It reads Notifications, with You have 5 unread notifications as the description.
