Drawer - Refine Drawer Usage for Better Integration with External Components

Describe the problem

This arose from fixing a layout bug with the drawer component in PR #4142.

Using DrawerPanelContent within an externally provided DrawerPanelContent (in this case from PF Topology) breaks the layout of the sidebar panel.

• Addressed by removing the nested DrawerPanelContent and directly applying DrawerHead and DrawerPanelBody within the DrawerPanelContent that is externally provided from TopologyView.

In our use case, the utility class pf-v6-u-p-md was applied to get the same padding, but this workaround highlights a gap in the current implementation.

How do you reproduce the problem?

See https://github.com/opendatahub-io/odh-dashboard/pull/4142.

Expected behavior

PatternFly needs an improved way to structure and compose standard drawer elements like DrawerHead and DrawerPanelBody within an external DrawerPanelContent wrapper from the TopologyView.

Is this issue blocking you? No.

RHOAI

Start with PR #4142 and the TopologyView usage of an externally provided DrawerPanelContent. Read how DrawerHead and DrawerPanelBody are composed within the drawer components, then reproduce the sidebar layout scenario. Done means standard drawer elements integrate with the external wrapper without the nested-content workaround or manual padding class.
