Other components#

Theming#

The Drawer component is a multipart component.

To learn more about styling multipart components, visit the Component Style page.

Anatomy#

A: header
B: overlay
C: dialogContainer
D: dialog
E: closeButton
F: body
G: footer

You can find more information in the source here.

Theming properties#

The properties that affect the theming of the Drawer component are:

variant: The visual variant of the Drawer. Defaults to baseStyle.
size: The size of the Drawer. Defaults to md.

Theming utilities#

createMultiStyleConfigHelpers: a function that returns a set of utilities for creating style configs for a multipart component (definePartsStyle and defineMultiStyleConfig).
definePartsStyle: a function used to create multipart style objects.
defineMultiStyleConfig: a function used to define the style configuration for a multipart component.

Customizing the default theme#

import { drawerAnatomy as parts } from '@chakra-ui/anatomy'
import { createMultiStyleConfigHelpers } from '@chakra-ui/styled-system'

const { definePartsStyle, defineMultiStyleConfig } =
  createMultiStyleConfigHelpers(parts.keys)

const baseStyle = definePartsStyle({
  // define the part you're going to style
  overlay: {
    bg: 'blackAlpha.200', //change the background
  },
  dialog: {
    borderRadius: 'md',
    bg: `purple.100`,
  },
})

export const drawerTheme = defineMultiStyleConfig({
  baseStyle,
})

After customizing the drawer theme, we can import it in our theme file and add it in the components property:

import { extendTheme } from '@chakra-ui/react'
import { drawerTheme } from './components/theme/drawer'

export const theme = extendTheme({
  components: { Drawer: drawerTheme },
})

This is a crucial step to make sure that any changes that we make to the Drawer theme are applied.

Adding a custom size#

Let's assume we want to change the font size of both header and dialog.

import { drawerAnatomy as parts } from '@chakra-ui/anatomy'
import {
  createMultiStyleConfigHelpers,
  defineStyle,
} from '@chakra-ui/styled-system'

const { definePartsStyle, defineMultiStyleConfig } =
  createMultiStyleConfigHelpers(parts.keys)

const xl = defineStyle({
  px: '6',
  py: '2',
  fontSize: 'xl',
})

const sm = defineStyle({
  fontSize: 'sm',
  py: '6',
})

const sizes = {
  xl: definePartsStyle({ header: sm, dialog: xl }),
}

export const drawerTheme = defineMultiStyleConfig({
  sizes,
})

// Now we can use the new `xl` size
<Drawer size="xl" ... />

Every time you're adding anything new to the theme, you'd need to run the CLI command to get proper autocomplete in your IDE. You can learn more about the CLI tool here.

Adding a custom variant#

Let's assume we want to include a custom variant. Here's how we can do that:

import { drawerAnatomy as parts } from '@chakra-ui/anatomy'
import { createMultiStyleConfigHelpers } from '@chakra-ui/styled-system'

const { definePartsStyle, defineMultiStyleConfig } =
  createMultiStyleConfigHelpers(parts.keys)

const purple = definePartsStyle({
  dialog: {
    borderRadius: 'md',
    bg: `purple.100`,

    // Let's also provide dark mode alternatives
    _dark: {
      bg: `purple.600`,
      color: 'white',
    },
  },
})

export const drawerTheme = defineMultiStyleConfig({
  variants: { purple },
})

// Now we can use the new `purple` variant
<Drawer variant='purple' ... />

Changing the default properties#

Let's assume we want to change the default size and variant of every Drawer in our app.

import { drawerAnatomy as parts } from '@chakra-ui/anatomy'
import { createMultiStyleConfigHelpers } from '@chakra-ui/styled-system'

const { defineMultiStyleConfig } = createMultiStyleConfigHelpers(parts.keys)

export const drawerTheme = defineMultiStyleConfig({
  defaultProps: {
    size: 'xl',
    variant: 'purple',
  },
})

// This saves you time, instead of manually setting the size and variant every time you use a Drawer:
<Drawer size="xl" variant="purple" ... />
