FormDrawer

A drawer panel that combines form state, mutation execution, and submit/reset actions. Same API as FormModal but rendered as a side drawer.

VEF-specific component. Moved from @vef-framework-react/starter to @vef-framework-react/components in v2.1.6.

When to Use

• Create and edit forms that open in a side drawer.
• Forms that benefit from more vertical space than a modal provides.

Form content taller than the drawer scrolls inside the drawer body; the body's bottom padding is kept after the last field, so scrolled to the end the content never sits flush against the footer actions.

Basic Usage

import { FormDrawer } from '@vef-framework-react/components';

interface UserForm {
  name: string;
  email: string;
}

export default function EditUserDrawer({ open, onClose }) {
  return (
    <FormDrawer<UserForm>
      open={open}
      title="Edit User"
      width={480}
      mutationFn={updateUser}
      mutationMeta={{ invalidates: [[findUserPage.key]] }}
      afterSubmit={() => onClose()}
      onClose={onClose}
    >
      {(form) => (
        <>
          <form.AppField name="name">
            {(field) => <field.Input label="Name" required />}
          </form.AppField>
          <form.AppField name="email">
            {(field) => <field.Input label="Email" required />}
          </form.AppField>
        </>
      )}
    </FormDrawer>
  );
}
