Vaul is an unstyled drawer component for React that can be used as a Dialog replacement on tablet and mobile devices. You can read about why and how it was built here.

To start using the library, install it in your project:,

npm install vaul

Use the drawer in your app.

import { Drawer } from 'vaul';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <Drawer.Root>
      <Drawer.Trigger>Open</Drawer.Trigger>
      <Drawer.Portal>
        <Drawer.Content>
          <p>Content</p>
        </Drawer.Content>
        <Drawer.Overlay />
      </Drawer.Portal>
    </Drawer.Root>
  );
}

Play around with the examples on codesandbox:

• With scaled background
• Without scaled background
• With snap points
• Scrollable with inputs
• Drawer from right instead of bottom
• Nested drawers
• Non-dismissible
• Non-draggable element

Contains all parts of a dialog. Use shouldScaleBackground to enable background scaling, it requires an element with [data-vaul-drawer-wrapper] data attribute to scale its background. Can be controlled with the value and onOpenChange props. Can be opened by default via the open prop.

Additional props:

closeThreshold: Number between 0 and 1 that determines when the drawer should be closed. Example: threshold of 0.5 would close the drawer if the user swiped for 50% of the height of the drawer or more.

scrollLockTimeout: Duration for which the drawer is not draggable after scrolling content inside of the drawer. Defaults to 500ms.

snapPoints: Array of numbers from 0 to 100 that corresponds to % of the screen a given snap point should take up. Should go from least visible. Example [0.2, 0.5, 0.8]. You can also use px values, which doesn't take screen height into account.

fadeFromIndex: Index of a snapPoint from which the overlay fade should be applied. Defaults to the last snap point.

modal: When false it allows to interact with elements outside of the drawer without closing it. Defaults to true.

direction: Direction of the drawer. Can be top or bottom, left, right. Defaults to bottom.

repositionInputs: When true Vaul will reposition inputs rather than scroll then into view if the keyboard is in the way. Setting it to false will fall back to the default browser behavior.

noBodyStyles: When true the body doesn't get any styles assigned from Vaul.

setBackgroundColorOnScale: When false we don't change body's background color when the drawer is open. true by default.

defaultOpen: Opened by default, still reacts to open state changes.

dismissible: When false dragging, clicking outside, pressing esc, etc. will not close the drawer. Use this in comination with the open prop, otherwise you won't be able to open/close the drawer.

snapToSequentialPoint: Disabled velocity based swiping for snap points. This means that a snap point won't be skipped even if the velocity is high enough. Useful if each snap point in a drawer is equally important.

onAnimationEnd: Gets triggered after the open or close animation ends, it receives an open argument with the open state of the drawer by the time the function was triggered. Useful to revert any state changes for example.

[data-vaul-no-drag]: When interacting with an element with this data attribute, the drawer won't be dragged.

Drawer can be controlled programmatically by providing the open prop. If you want to react to open state changes from within the Drawer use the onOpenChange prop, this will allow you to provide your own open state while still closing the drawer when the escape key is pressed for example.

const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);

// ...

<Drawer.Root open={open} onOpenChange={setOpen}>
  // ...
</Drawer.Root>

Customize the element that your drawer portals into. By default, drawer will be appended to document.body.

import React from 'react';
import { Drawer } from 'vaul';

export default () => {
  const [container, setContainer] = React.useState(null);

  return (
    <div>
      <Drawer.Root container={container}>
        <Drawer.Trigger />
        <Drawer.Portal>
          <Drawer.Overlay />
          <Drawer.Content>...</Drawer.Content>
        </Drawer.Portal>
      </Drawer.Root>
      // Drawer will be rendered inside this div.
      <div ref={setContainer} />
    </div>
  );
};

The button that opens the dialog. Props.

Content that should be rendered in the drawer. Props.

A layer that covers the inert portion of the view when the dialog is open. Props.

An accessible title to be announced when the dialog is opened. Props.

An optional accessible description to be announced when the dialog is opened. Props.

The button that closes the dialog. Props.

Portals your drawer into the body.

CSS in this library is inserted by JavaScript into <head> element by default. If you're having issue with it such as CSP restriction, you can use vaul/style.css CSS as a workaround to apply the styles.

Note: You don't need to import it unless the default inline styles is blocked by CSP.
