Examples#

Offcanvas components#

Below is an offcanvas example that is shown by default (via visible={true}). Offcanvas includes support for a header with a close button and an optional body class for some initial padding. We suggest that you include offcanvas headers with dismiss actions whenever possible, or provide an explicit dismiss action.

<COffcanvas backdrop={false} placement="start" visible={true}>
  <COffcanvasHeader>
    <COffcanvasTitle>Offcanvas</COffcanvasTitle>
    <CCloseButton className="text-reset" />
  </COffcanvasHeader>
  <COffcanvasBody>
    Content for the offcanvas goes here. You can place just about any React component or custom
    elements here.
  </COffcanvasBody>
</COffcanvas>

Live demo#

Use the buttons below to show and hide an offcanvas component.

visible={false} hides content (default)
visible or visible={true} shows content

const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false)
return (
  <>
    <CButton color="primary" onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Toggle offcanvas</CButton>
    <COffcanvas placement="start" visible={visible} onHide={() => setVisible(false)}>
      <COffcanvasHeader>
        <COffcanvasTitle>Offcanvas</COffcanvasTitle>
        <CCloseButton className="text-reset" onClick={() => setVisible(false)} />
      </COffcanvasHeader>
      <COffcanvasBody>
        Content for the offcanvas goes here. You can place just about any React component or
        custom elements here.
      </COffcanvasBody>
    </COffcanvas>
  </>
)

Body scrolling#

Scrolling the <body> element is disabled when an offcanvas and its backdrop are visible. Use the scroll property to toggle <body> scrolling and backdrop to toggle the backdrop.

const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false)
return (
  <>
    <CButton color="primary" onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Enable body scrolling</CButton>
    <COffcanvas backdrop={false} placement="start" scroll={true} visible={visible} onHide={() => setVisible(false)}>
      <COffcanvasHeader>
        <COffcanvasTitle>Offcanvas with body scrolling</COffcanvasTitle>
        <CCloseButton className="text-reset" onClick={() => setVisible(false)} />
      </COffcanvasHeader>
      <COffcanvasBody>
        Try scrolling the rest of the page to see this option in action.
      </COffcanvasBody>
    </COffcanvas>
  </>
)

Body scrolling and backdrop#

You can also enable <body> scrolling with a visible backdrop.

const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false)
return (
  <>
    <CButton color="primary" onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Enable both scrolling &amp; backdrop</CButton>
    <COffcanvas placement="start" scroll={true} visible={visible} onHide={() => setVisible(false)}>
      <COffcanvasHeader>
        <COffcanvasTitle>Backdrop with scrolling</COffcanvasTitle>
        <CCloseButton className="text-reset" onClick={() => setVisible(false)} />
      </COffcanvasHeader>
      <COffcanvasBody>
        Try scrolling the rest of the page to see this option in action.
      </COffcanvasBody>
    </COffcanvas>
  </>
)

Static backdrop#

If you set a backdrop to static, your React offcanvas component will not close when clicking outside of it.

const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false)
return (
  <>
    <CButton color="primary" onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Toggle static offcanvas</CButton>
    <COffcanvas backdrop="static" placement="start" visible={visible} onHide={() => setVisible(false)}>
      <COffcanvasHeader>
        <COffcanvasTitle>Backdrop with scrolling</COffcanvasTitle>
        <CCloseButton className="text-reset" onClick={() => setVisible(false)} />
      </COffcanvasHeader>
      <COffcanvasBody>
        I will not close if you click outside of me.
      </COffcanvasBody>
    </COffcanvas>
  </>
)

Dark offcanvas#

Change the appearance of offcanvases with dark boolean property to better match them to different contexts like dark navbars.

<COffcanvas backdrop={false} dark placement="start" visible={true}>
  <COffcanvasHeader>
    <COffcanvasTitle>Offcanvas</COffcanvasTitle>
    <CCloseButton className="text-reset" />
  </COffcanvasHeader>
  <COffcanvasBody>
    Content for the offcanvas goes here. You can place just about any React component or custom
    elements here.
  </COffcanvasBody>
</COffcanvas>

Responsive#

Responsive offcanvas properties hide content outside the viewport from a specified breakpoint and down. Above that breakpoint, the contents within will behave as usual. For example, responsive="lg" hides content in an offcanvas below the lg breakpoint, but shows the content above the lg breakpoint.

Resize your browser to show the responsive offcanvas toggle.

const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false)
return (
  <>
    <CButton color="primary" className="d-lg-none" onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Toggle offcanvas</CButton>
    <CAlert className="d-none d-lg-block" color="info">Resize your browser to show the responsive offcanvas toggle.</CAlert>
    <COffcanvas backdrop="static" placement="start" visible={visible} onHide={() => setVisible(false)}>
      <COffcanvasHeader>
        <COffcanvasTitle>Responsive offcanvas</COffcanvasTitle>
        <CCloseButton className="text-reset" onClick={() => setVisible(false)} />
      </COffcanvasHeader>
      <COffcanvasBody>
        This is content within an <code>.offcanvas-lg</code>.
      </COffcanvasBody>
    </COffcanvas>
  </>
)

Placement#

There's no default placement for offcanvas components, so you must add one of the modifier classes below;

placement="start" places offcanvas on the left of the viewport (shown above)
placement="end" places offcanvas on the right of the viewport
placement="top" places offcanvas on the top of the viewport
placement="bottom" places offcanvas on the bottom of the viewport

Try the top, right, and bottom examples out below.

const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false)
return (
  <>
    <CButton color="primary" onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Toggle top offcanvas</CButton>
    <COffcanvas placement="top" visible={visible} onHide={() => setVisible(false)}>
      <COffcanvasHeader>
        <COffcanvasTitle>Offcanvas</COffcanvasTitle>
        <CCloseButton className="text-reset" onClick={() => setVisible(false)} />
      </COffcanvasHeader>
      <COffcanvasBody>
        Content for the offcanvas goes here. You can place just about any React component or
        custom elements here.
      </COffcanvasBody>
    </COffcanvas>
  </>
)

const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false)
return (
  <>
    <CButton color="primary" onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Toggle right offcanvas</CButton>
    <COffcanvas placement="right" visible={visible} onHide={() => setVisible(false)}>
      <COffcanvasHeader>
        <COffcanvasTitle>Offcanvas</COffcanvasTitle>
        <CCloseButton className="text-reset" onClick={() => setVisible(false)} />
      </COffcanvasHeader>
      <COffcanvasBody>
        Content for the offcanvas goes here. You can place just about any React component or
        custom elements here.
      </COffcanvasBody>
    </COffcanvas>
  </>
)

const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false)
return (
  <>
    <CButton color="primary" onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Toggle bottom offcanvas</CButton>
    <COffcanvas placement="bottom" visible={visible} onHide={() => setVisible(false)}>
      <COffcanvasHeader>
        <COffcanvasTitle>Offcanvas</COffcanvasTitle>
        <CCloseButton className="text-reset" onClick={() => setVisible(false)} />
      </COffcanvasHeader>
      <COffcanvasBody>
        Content for the offcanvas goes here. You can place just about any React component or
        custom elements here.
      </COffcanvasBody>
    </COffcanvas>
  </>
)

Accessibility#

Since the offcanvas panel is conceptually a modal dialog, be sure to add aria-labelledby="..."—referencing the offcanvas title—to <COffcanvas>. Note that you don’t need to add role="dialog" since we already add it automatically.

Customizing#

CSS variables#

React offcanvas uses local CSS variables on .offcanvas for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

--cui-offcanvas-zindex: #{$zindex-offcanvas};
--cui-offcanvas-width: #{$offcanvas-horizontal-width};
--cui-offcanvas-height: #{$offcanvas-vertical-height};
--cui-offcanvas-padding-x: #{$offcanvas-padding-x};
--cui-offcanvas-padding-y: #{$offcanvas-padding-y};
--cui-offcanvas-color: #{$offcanvas-color};
--cui-offcanvas-bg: #{$offcanvas-bg-color};
--cui-offcanvas-border-width: #{$offcanvas-border-width};
--cui-offcanvas-border-color: #{$offcanvas-border-color};
--cui-offcanvas-box-shadow: #{$offcanvas-box-shadow};
--cui-offcanvas-transition: #{transform $offcanvas-transition-duration ease-in-out};
--cui-offcanvas-title-line-height: #{$offcanvas-title-line-height};

How to use CSS variables#

const vars = { 
  '--my-css-var': 10,
  '--my-another-css-var': "red" 
}
return <COffcanvas style={vars}>...</COffcanvas>

SASS variables#
