When to use

Edit forms and long scrolling content that slide in from a screen edge over the page
Panels pinned to the top, right, bottom or left edge, with their own footer actions

When not to use

A touch panel the user drags or swipes closed: use the Drawer component
A ready made record detail, notification or settings panel: use the Sheet blocks
A short decision or form that belongs in the middle of the screen: use the Dialog component

Agent notes

SheetContent draws its own corner close button; set showCloseButton to false when the footer closes it
Top and bottom sheets grow with their content and have no height cap, so bound them as c-sheet-3 does
SheetTrigger and SheetClose take a render element on the base twin and asChild on the radix twin

Shadcn Sheet: Side Panels, Drawers, and Modal Overlays

Shadcn Sheet is a modal overlay that slides in from the edge (top, bottom, left, right), extending the Dialog component for flexible side-panel layouts. Built on Radix UI Dialog and compatible with full focus management and keyboard navigation, it integrates seamlessly with Shadcn Create theming.

It darkens the page backdrop and displays content at the screen edge, useful for navigation menus, filtering panels, and detail views that shouldn't scroll the main page.

ReUI lists sheet components inside dashboards, e-commerce filters, and mobile navigation so you evaluate edge positioning, width constraints, and how sheets pair with Shadcn Button, Shadcn Input, and Shadcn Field. The sections below explain what the component is, why teams use it, key features, and integration guidance.

What is Shadcn Sheet?

A sheet is a modal overlay that extends from the page edge, similar to a drawer. Shadcn Sheet extends Radix UI Dialog to provide positioning (top, bottom, left, right) via the side prop, making it ideal for navigation, filters, and detail panels.

Components here show left-side navigation drawers, bottom sheets for mobile actions, right-side filter panels, and responsive sheets that change sides on mobile. They help you decide edge positioning, width/height constraints, and whether content should scroll inside the sheet or the page remains fixed.

Why Use Shadcn Sheet?

Teams use sheets when they need modal content without overlaying the entire page center (where a full dialog would sit). Mobile navigation, filter menus, and product detail panels all benefit from edge-positioned overlays that feel lightweight and responsive.

The components on this page show how sheets differ from dialogs (which center on screen), how to make sheets responsive, and when to use sheets vs. full-page navigation.

Shadcn Sheet Features

Edge Positioning. Set side prop to 'top', 'bottom', 'left', or 'right' to position the sheet at the screen edge. Useful for navigation, filters, and detail views.
Modal Behavior. Darkens the page backdrop and traps focus inside the sheet. Clicking outside or pressing Escape dismisses the sheet, following Shadcn Dialog semantics.
Scrollable Content. Sheet content can overflow and scroll independently, keeping the main page fixed. Useful for long filter lists or navigation menus.
Responsive Positioning. Use conditional logic to position sheets on the left on desktop and bottom on mobile, adapting to screen size. Pair with Shadcn Drawer for similar functionality.
Custom Width/Height. Set max-width on the SheetContent wrapper to control sheet size; left/right sheets often take 50% of viewport width on desktop.

Use Sheet for mobile navigation driven by a Shadcn Button menu icon in the header. Place a Shadcn Navigation Menu or custom link list inside the sheet so tap targets are large and touch-friendly.

Pair Sheet with Shadcn Input and Shadcn Field for filter panels or search overlays. Add a Shadcn Button to apply filters or close the sheet when done editing.

Combine Sheet with Shadcn Scroll Area when content overflows. Use Shadcn Badge or Shadcn Tag inside the sheet to show active filters or selections. For mobile, use Shadcn Drawer for swipe-dismiss gestures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Sheet and Drawer?

Sheet extends Shadcn Dialog for side-positioned modals. Drawer is built on Vaul (by Emil Kowalski) and focuses on gesture-driven mobile UX with swipe-to-dismiss. Use Sheet for responsive, keyboard-first overlays; use Drawer for mobile-first, gesture-friendly experiences.

When should I use a Sheet vs. a full Dialog?

Use Sheet for lightweight, non-blocking overlays at screen edges (navigation, filters). Use Shadcn Dialog for important decisions or full-page tasks that need center focus. Sheet feels lighter and leaves more of the page visible.

How do I make a Sheet responsive so it changes position on mobile?

Use React hooks or CSS media queries to detect viewport size. Render Sheet with side='left' on desktop and side='bottom' on mobile. Alternatively, use a Drawer on mobile and Sheet on desktop for gesture support.

Can I scroll content inside a Sheet without scrolling the page?

Yes. The page is automatically locked (overflow: hidden) when the Sheet opens. Content inside SheetContent overflows and scrolls independently. Use Shadcn Scroll Area inside the sheet for custom scrollbar styling.

How do I style the Sheet width or height?

Add className to SheetContent to set max-width or max-height. For left/right sheets, use max-w-sm, max-w-md, or max-w-full. For top/bottom sheets, use h-1/2 or h-2/3. Test on mobile to ensure the sheet doesn't exceed the viewport.

Is Sheet keyboard and screen-reader accessible?

Yes. Sheet inherits Radix Dialog accessibility: Tab cycles through interactive elements, Escape closes, and roles are announced. Test with a screen reader to confirm the sheet title and close button are clear.
