Side Dialog
A slide-in drawer / side sheet. Full-height panel fixed to a side edge, with its own backdrop, focus trap, Esc-to-close, and focus restore — the modal mechanics of a dialog with edge-anchored layout.
Preview
Drawer body content goes here. It scrolls if it overflows, with the header and footer pinned.
Use it for filters, detail panes, and create/edit forms that don't warrant a full page.
<button id="open-sd">Open drawer</button>
<esa-side-dialog id="sd" heading="Filters" position="right">
<p>Drawer body content…</p>
<button slot="footer">Apply</button>

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
open | boolean | false | |
heading | string | '' | Title shown in the header. |
position | 'left' | 'right' | 'right' | Edge the drawer slides in from. |
size | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'md' | Panel width — 320 / 400 / 520px. |
show-close-button | boolean | true | Render the header close (✕) button. Property: `showCloseButton`. On by default. Write `="false"` to turn it off — unusually for a boolean attribute, this one reads the value. |
Binding these events from Angular
Every one of these is a CustomEvent, so the payload is on
$event.detail — $event.target.value reads empty, with no
error. The names are lowercase and Angular passes them to
addEventListener verbatim, so camel-casing one means it never fires.
(close)="onClose($event.detail)"
Methods
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
show() | method | — | Open the drawer. |
close() | method | — | Close it (restores focus, emits `close`). |
Events
| Event | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
close | CustomEvent | — | Fired when the drawer closes (Esc, backdrop, or close button). |
Accessibility
role="dialog"+aria-modal; labelled by theheading.- Focus is trapped within the panel; Tab/Shift+Tab cycle, Esc closes, and focus is restored to the trigger on close.
- The backdrop click and the ✕ button both close.
Theming surface
Every public token this component reads, extracted from its source at build time,
split by blast radius: the hooks that belong to this component,
then the shared and system tokens it consumes alongside everything else. The
Resolves to column walks each token's real lineage —
component → semantic → primitive → raw value — so you
can see exactly where re-pointing it lands. A spoke re-skins by overriding these in
its theme-<slug>.css; component internals are never edited. No
hook for what you need? File it with /request-lego.
Type roles it names
This component does not set a size, weight, face or tracking of its own — it names a composite, and the composite carries all five. A composite is a class rather than a token, so none of it appears in the tables below; re-theme text by re-pointing the token family, not by editing the component.

Wired to this component
No other component reads these — re-point them and esa-side-dialog is the
only thing that moves.
| Token | Tier | Resolves to |
|---|---|---|
--side-dialog-backdrop-filter | component | none |
--side-dialog-inset | component | 16px |
--side-dialog-width | component | 400px |
--side-dialog-width-lg | component | 520px |
--side-dialog-width-sm | component | 320px |
Shared tokens it reads
Owned by a family or by the semantic layer. Still overridable — but scope the
override (esa-foo { --form-border-color: … }) unless you mean to move
everything that reads it. Reach says what else that is.

--color-border-default | semantic every component | one role per property, so a theme can move the ring's weight and its colour independently. Tier 3's --focus-ring-width now reads this instead of holding a bare 2px, which is the same shape --focus-ring-color has always had (a thin tier-3 alias over a tier-2 role) — width was simply never given the tier-2 half.
*
* This role was rejected once, and the rejection is worth recording because its PREMISE was wrong rather than its reasoning. The argument against an `emphasis` width was that every 2px border in the kit is micro-geometry — spinner rings, the kbd keycap lip, a chevron. The focus ring was not in that enumeration and does not fit it: 33 components render it, more than read any other tier-3 token, and it is not micro-geometry but an accessibility affordance whose weight is a legitimate brand axis (a spoke that needs a heavier ring for contrast has to be able to reach it). It is also not a `border` in any component — every consumer paints it with `outline` or `box-shadow` — which is precisely why a survey of BORDERS missed it. The name still says `border` because tier 2 already calls the ring's colour --color-border-default-focus |
