Requirements

  • MUST implement PFv6 visual designs
  • MUST provide end-user feature parity with `@patternfly/react-core` Drawer
  • MAY adjust element API to leverage web platform strengths
  • SHOULD maintain CSS custom property theming compatibility
  • SHOULD expose useful CSS shadow parts

Element-specific considerations

  • React `isExpanded` / `defaultExpanded` - open/close state; map to `expanded` attribute; emit `toggle` event
  • React `isInline` - panel is inline (pushes content) vs overlay (overlaps); map to `inline` attribute
  • React `isStatic` - always visible, no toggle; map to `static` attribute
  • React `position`: `right`, `left`, `bottom` - map to `position` attribute
  • React `onExpand` - called after animation ends; emit `expanded` event
  • React sub-components: `DrawerContent`, `DrawerContentBody`, `DrawerPanelContent`, `DrawerPanelBody`, `DrawerHead`, `DrawerActions`, `DrawerCloseButton` - use named slots
  • Panel width/height as CSS custom property (default ~50%)
  • Responsive: panel may become full-width on mobile
  • Focus management: when drawer opens, focus should move into the panel; on close, return to trigger

Checklist

Implementation

  • API per `.claude/ADVICE.md`
  • CSS uses v6 tokens, logical properties, nesting
  • `@summary` and JSDoc on element class

Demos

  • Demos match patternfly.org naming/structure
  • CSS custom properties match computed styles from patternfly.org (Chrome MCP)
  • Visual parity verified via Chrome MCP

Tests

  • Public API covered (attributes, properties, events, slots)
  • `a11ySnapshot` assertions

Reviews

  • `/review-api` passes
  • `/review-demos` passes
  • `/review-a11y` passes
  • `eslint` and `stylelint` pass

Ship

  • Add changeset
  • PR targets `staging/pfv6` (NOT `main`)
