allowSwipeInChildren

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).

Default:

false
children

The content of the component.

Type:

node
disableBackdropTransition

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

false
disableDiscovery

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.

bool

Default:

false
disableSwipeToOpen

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.

Type:

bool

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