Expandable Surface

Web

A continuous trigger-to-panel surface your agent can add exactly where you want it in your product and fill with your own content.

One surface carries the interaction from closed to open:

  • One continuous transition: the same surface expands from its trigger size into a panel and returns with matching close motion.
  • Your content and dimensions: your product owns the labels, content, state, closed size, and optional expanded width and alignment.
  • Complete interaction: includes close controls, Escape and backdrop dismissal, focus management, upward-drag closing, responsive bounds, and reduced-motion support.

    Done

    Your agent keeps your content and behavior in the project while preserving the surface's close, focus, drag, responsive, and reduced-motion behavior.
