Slide-in Drawer

Hamburger icon morphs to an X while a side panel slides in over a dark scrim, revealing four nav items with staggered fade-in animations.

When to use it

Mobile-style nav demos, workspace sidebars, or any UI needing a collapsible navigation drawer pattern.

When not to

Contexts where persistent navigation is required — the auto-cycle loop must be removed and the drawer wired to real routing before shipping.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change the nav items to ['Home', 'Analytics', 'Team', 'Billing'], set the panel accent border to rgba(192,180,89,0.45), and increase animation delay step to 100ms. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • nav item labels (.c05-drawer__item text)
  • panel width (width:64%)
  • stagger delay step (80/150/220/290ms)
  • border glow color (--border-glow)
  • auto-cycle interval (2400ms)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (@media + JS matchMedia check)
  • visibilitychange pause (stop on hidden)
  • scrim click-to-close handler
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Auto-cycles every 2.4s by default — remove loop() call before production use
  • Drawer width hardcoded at 64% — may clip on very narrow viewports
  • Nav items use div not anchor tags — add href and keyboard focus styles for real nav

  • Magnify DockmacOS-style frosted-glass dock of six gradient tiles that scale up and lift toward the cursor; idle auto-sweep keeps it animated when untouched.
  • Hamburger MorphThree-line hamburger button spring-morphs into a glowing teal X on click; button border gains teal glow when open. Auto-cycles as demo.
  • Gooey Tab BarPill-shaped tab bar with a vermillion blob that slides between tabs using a spring easing and SVG goo filter for liquid merge effect on dark surface.
  • Radial Fan MenuA core button rotates to an X and fans five glowing stone-toned icon petals outward in a staggered spring arc; auto-cycles open/close as a demo.
  • Underline FollowA glowing emerald-to-tan gradient underline slides and resizes to follow hovered nav links; wanders idly across links when unhovered.
  • Sliding PillA 3-segment Day/Week/Month toggle where a glowing translucent pill slides between options with a spring bounce on a dark rounded bar.
