side-drawer
A simple, animating side drawer built as a Web Component
Demo
Breaking Change in v4.x
This custom element now uses a standard dialog
under the hood. As of October 2023 there are some browser bugs around dialog ::backdrop
not seeing CSS variables. As a result the --side-drawer-backdrop-filter
, --side-drawer-overlay-opacity
and --side-drawer-overlay-transition
variables will not work in some browsers. If you need to support these browsers you can use v3.x of this component until the browser bugs are fixed.
Installation
You can integrate side-drawer via <script>
tag or via NPM.
Via <script>
tag
In the <head>
of your index.html put a script tag like this:
<script
type="module"
src="https://unpkg.com/side-drawer/side-drawer.js"
></script>
<!-- Or use the minified version -->
<script
type="module"
src="https://unpkg.com/side-drawer/side-drawer.min.js"
></script>
Now you can use the side-drawer
element anywhere in your html, JSX, template, etc.
Via NPM
npm install side-drawer --save
And then you need to import the module before you can use it in your html/jsx/template:
import "side-drawer";
Web Component Browser Support
This web component uses HTML templates, the shadow DOM, and custom elements. If you need to polyfill for any of these standards then take a look at the web components polyfill.

This project is built with standard HTML/CSS/JS, no frameworks or special web-component compilers here (for maximum simplicity and minimum size). If you want to learn more about writing custom elements see MDN or this web.dev page.
The source for this web component is contained in side-drawer.js and example usage is in index.html. To debug/run the example you can just open index.html in a browser. For a hot-reload developer experience try using live server in vscode.
You will need the dev dependencies of this project installed to run the post-commit hooks.
