Offcanvas

Build hidden sidebars into your project for navigation, shopping carts, and more with a few classes and our JavaScript plugin.

Offcanvas on Bootstrap

Example

Use the buttons below to show and hide an offcanvas element via JavaScript that toggles the .show class on an element with the .offcanvas class.

  • .offcanvas hides content (default)
  • .offcanvas.show shows content

You can use a link with the href attribute, or a button with the data-bs-target attribute. In both cases, the data-bs-toggle="offcanvas" is required. 

<a class="btn btn-primary me-1" data-bs-toggle="offcanvas" href="#offcanvasExample" role="button" aria-controls="offcanvasExample">Link with href</a>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" data-bs-toggle="offcanvas" data-bs-target="#offcanvasExample" aria-controls="offcanvasExample">Button with data-bs-target</button>
<div class="offcanvas offcanvas-start" id="offcanvasExample" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="offcanvasExampleLabel">
  <div class="offcanvas-header">
    <h5 class="offcanvas-title" id="offcanvasExampleLabel">Offcanvas</h5>
    <button class="btn-close text-reset" type="button" data-bs-dismiss="offcanvas" aria-label="Close"></button>
  </div>
  <div class="offcanvas-body">
    <div>Some text as placeholder. In real life you can have the elements you have chosen. Like, text, images, lists, etc.</div>
    <div class="dropdown mt-3">
      <button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" id="dropdownMenuButton" type="button" data-bs-toggle="dropdown">Dropdown button</button>
      <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
        <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li>
        <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li>
        <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Placement

There’s no default placement for offcanvas components, so you must add one of the modifier classes below;

  • .offcanvas-top places offcanvas on the top of the viewport
  • .offcanvas-end places offcanvas on the right of the viewport
  • .offcanvas-start places offcanvas on the left of the viewport (shown above)
  • .offcanvas-bottom places offcanvas on the bottom of the viewport

Backdrop

Scrolling the <body> element is disabled when an offcanvas and its backdrop are visible. Use the data-bs-scroll attribute to toggle <body> scrolling and data-bs-backdrop to toggle the backdrop.

<!-- Enable body scrolling-->
<button class="btn btn-primary mb-1" type="button" data-bs-toggle="offcanvas" data-bs-target="#offcanvasScrolling" aria-controls="offcanvasScrolling">Enable body scrolling</button>
<div class="offcanvas offcanvas-start" id="offcanvasScrolling" data-bs-scroll="true" data-bs-backdrop="false" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="offcanvasScrollingLabel">
