Bottom Sheet

The MatBottomSheet service can be used to open Material Design panels to the bottom of the screen. These panels are intended primarily as an interaction on mobile devices where they can be used as an alternative to dialogs and menus.

You can open a bottom sheet by calling the open method with a component to be loaded and an optional config object. The open method will return an instance of MatBottomSheetRef:

const bottomSheetRef = bottomSheet.open(SocialShareComponent, {
  ariaLabel: 'Share on social media'
});

The MatBottomSheetRef is a reference to the currently-opened bottom sheet and can be used to close it or to subscribe to events. Note that only one bottom sheet can be open at a time. Any component contained inside of a bottom sheet can inject the MatBottomSheetRef as well.

bottomSheetRef.afterDismissed().subscribe(() => {
  console.log('Bottom sheet has been dismissed.');
});

bottomSheetRef.dismiss();

link Sharing data with the bottom sheet component.

If you want to pass in some data to the bottom sheet, you can do so using the data property:

const bottomSheetRef = bottomSheet.open(HobbitSheet, {
  data: { names: ['Frodo', 'Bilbo'] },
});

Afterwards you can access the injected data using the MAT_BOTTOM_SHEET_DATA injection token:

import {Component, Inject} from '@angular/core';
import {MAT_BOTTOM_SHEET_DATA} from '@angular/material';

@Component({
  selector: 'hobbit-sheet',
  template: 'passed in {{ data.names }}',
})
export class HobbitSheet {
  constructor(@Inject(MAT_BOTTOM_SHEET_DATA) public data: any) { }
}

link Configuring bottom sheet content via entryComponents

Similarly to MatDialog, MatBottomSheet instantiates components at run-time. In order for it to work, the Angular compiler needs extra information to create the necessary ComponentFactory for your bottom sheet content component.

Any components that are include inside of a bottom sheet have to be added to the entryComponents inside your NgModule.

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // ...
    MatBottomSheetModule
  ],

  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    ExampleBottomSheetComponent
  ],

  entryComponents: [
    ExampleBottomSheetComponent
  ],

  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

link Accessibility

By default, the bottom sheet has role="dialog" on the root element and can be labelled using the ariaLabel property on the MatBottomSheetConfig.

When a bottom sheet is opened, it will move focus to the first focusable element that it can find. In order to prevent users from tabbing into elements in the background, the Material bottom sheet uses a focus trap to contain focus within itself. Once a bottom sheet is closed, it will return focus to the element that was focused before it was opened.

link Focus management

By default, the first tabbable element within the bottom sheet will receive focus upon open. This can be configured by setting the cdkFocusInitial attribute on another focusable element.

link Keyboard interaction

By default pressing the escape key will close the bottom sheet. While this behavior can be turned off via the disableClose option, users should generally avoid doing so as it breaks the expected interaction pattern for screen-reader users.
