ModalWideNavigationRail
Component in Material 3 Compose
Material design modal wide navigation rail.
Wide navigation rails provide access to primary destinations in apps when using tablet and desktop screens.
The modal wide navigation rail should be used to display multiple [WideNavigationRailItem]s, each representing a singular app destination, and, optionally, a header containing a menu button, a [FloatingActionButton], and/or a logo. Each destination is typically represented by an icon and a text label.
The [ModalWideNavigationRail] when collapsed behaves like a collapsed [WideNavigationRail]. When expanded, the modal wide navigation rail blocks interaction with the rest of an appβs content with a scrim. It is elevated above the appβs UI and doesn't affect the screenβs layout grid. That can be achieved like so:
@sample androidx.compose.material3.samples.ModalWideNavigationRailSample
For a dismissible [ModalWideNavigationRail], that enters from offscreen instead of expanding from the collapsed rail, set [hideOnCollapse] to true. That can be achieved like so:
@sample androidx.compose.material3.samples.DismissibleModalWideNavigationRailSample
See [WideNavigationRailItem] for configuration specific to each item, and not the overall [ModalWideNavigationRail] component.

Parameters
name | description |
---|---|
modifier | the [Modifier] to be applied to this wide navigation rail |
state | the [WideNavigationRailState] of this wide navigation rail |
hideOnCollapse | whether this wide navigation rail should slide offscreen when it collapses and be hidden, or stay on screen as a collapsed wide navigation rail (default) |
collapsedShape | the shape of this wide navigation rail's container when it's collapsed |
expandedShape | the shape of this wide navigation rail's container when it's expanded |
colors | [WideNavigationRailColors] that will be used to resolve the colors used for this wide navigation rail. See [WideNavigationRailDefaults.colors] |
header | optional header that may hold a [FloatingActionButton] or a logo |
expandedHeaderTopPadding | the padding to be applied to the top of the rail. It's usually needed in order to align the content of the rail between the collapsed and expanded animation |
windowInsets | a window insets of the wide navigation rail |
arrangement | the [Arrangement.Vertical] of this wide navigation rail |
expandedProperties | [ModalWideNavigationRailProperties] for further customization of the expanded modal wide navigation rail's window behavior |
content | the content of this modal wide navigation rail, usually [WideNavigationRailItem]s |
