<mwc-drawer>

IMPORTANT: The Material Web Components are a work in progress and subject to major changes until 1.0 release.
The Navigation Drawer is used to organize access to destinations and other functionality on an app.
Material Design Guidelines: Navigation Drawer
Installation
npm install @material/mwc-drawer
NOTE: The Material Web Components are distributed as ES2017 JavaScript Modules, and use the Custom Elements API. They are compatible with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and IE11, but an additional tooling step is required to resolve bare module specifiers, as well as transpilation and polyfills for IE11. See here for detailed instructions.
Example usage
Standard

<mwc-drawer>
<div>
<p>Drawer Content!</p>
</div>
<div slot="appContent">
<mwc-top-app-bar>
<div slot="title">Title</div>
</mwc-top-app-bar>
<div>
<p>Main Content!</p>
</div>
</div>
</mwc-drawer>
NOTE: When using an inline-drawer (i.e. non-modal drawer) with a
top-app-bar
,
the app-bar is shifted to the right unlike the body content since its position
is fixed. This may cause issues with action items on the top-app-bar
to be
shifted off screen. To remedy this, you should readjust the size of the
top-app-bar
based on the width of the drawer when the drawer is open. Here is
an example of how to do this:
mwc-drawer[open] top-app-bar {
/* Default width of drawer is 256px. See CSS Custom Properties below */
--mdc-top-app-bar-width: calc(100% - var(--mdc-drawer-width, 256px));
}
Standard with Header

<mwc-drawer hasHeader>
<span slot="title">Drawer Title</span>
<span slot="subtitle">subtitle</span>
<div>
<p>Drawer content!</p>

<div slot="appContent">
<mwc-top-app-bar>
<div slot="title">Title</div>
