Left-Sided Sheet for React

A sheet that slides in from the left edge of the screen with a title and a description.

Framework
UI library

side="left" on SheetContent is the whole difference: the panel slides in from the left, and the title, the focus trap and Escape work as on every other edge. Use it for navigation and filters, where people expect a panel to come from the start of the page. The demo holds only the header, so put your own body under it.

FAQ

How do I open the sheet from the left?

Set side="left" on SheetContent. Leave it out and the sheet opens from the right. It takes top, right, bottom or left.

How wide is the left sheet?

A left sheet fills the height and caps its width from the sm breakpoint. Change the cap with a class such as data-[side=left]:sm:max-w-md on SheetContent.

What does the left sheet 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. Here it reads Left Sheet, and SheetDescription reads This sheet slides in from the left side of the screen.

How is Open Sheet connected?

The button labeled Open Sheet 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.

How do I hide the corner close icon?

Set showCloseButton to false on SheetContent, and give people a visible way out instead, such as a Close button in SheetFooter. Escape still closes the sheet.

When is a left sheet the right panel?

Use a Sheet when the panel should slide in from a screen edge and keep the page in view behind it. A centered confirmation is a Dialog. A panel people drag, usually up from the bottom on a phone, is a Drawer.
