Props

Signature:function(event: React.SyntheticEvent<{}>) => void
  • event The event source of the callback.

allowSwipeInChildrenfunc
| bool		false

If set to true, the swipe event will open the drawer even if the user begins the swipe on one of the drawer's children. This can be useful in scenarios where the drawer is partially visible. You can customize it further with a callback that determines which children the user can drag over to open the drawer (for example, to ignore other elements that handle touch move events, like sliders).

childrennode-

The content of the component.

disableBackdropTransitionboolfalse

Disable the backdrop transition. This can improve the FPS on low-end devices.

disableDiscoveryboolfalse

If true, touching the screen near the edge of the drawer will not slide in the drawer a bit to promote accidental discovery of the swipe gesture.

disableSwipeToOpenbooltypeof navigator !== 'undefined' && /iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(navigator.userAgent)

If true, swipe to open is disabled. This is useful in browsers where swiping triggers navigation actions. Swipe to open is disabled on iOS browsers by default.

hysteresisnumber0.52

Affects how far the drawer must be opened/closed to change its state. Specified as percent (0-1) of the width of the drawer

minFlingVelocitynumber450

Defines, from which (average) velocity on, the swipe is defined as complete although hysteresis isn't reached. Good threshold is between 250 - 1000 px/s

openboolfalse

If true, the component is shown.

SwipeAreaPropsobject-

The element is used to intercept the touch events on the edge.

swipeAreaWidthnumber20

The width of the left most (or right most) area in px that the drawer can be swiped open from.

transitionDurationnumber
| { appear?: number, enter?: number, exit?: number }		{ enter: theme.transitions.duration.enteringScreen, exit: theme.transitions.duration.leavingScreen, }

The duration for the transition, in milliseconds. You may specify a single timeout for all transitions, or individually with an object.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

Inheritance

While not explicitly documented above, the props of the Drawer component are also available in SwipeableDrawer. You can take advantage of this to target nested components.
