Drawer Overview
The Drawer component is a UI element that allows you to add dismissible, collapsible or permanently visible side panel for navigating in responsive web applications or to house additional content that doesn't need to be visible at all times. It can appear on top of the main content or push it to the side, depending on the design requirements. This component is extremely effective when it comes to maximizing space and keeping the interface uncluttered, making it a popular choice for both mobile and desktop applications. The drawer can be easily customized in terms of size, content and alignment, making it suitable for different design requirements.
