RFC: Drawers to open with slide gesture

Feature Requests

Not sure if this is already in discussion but temporary-drawer has implementation to close it with a swipe gesture, however it cannot be opened with the same. I tried searching the spec for anything related to gestures with drawers but couldn’t find it here https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/navigation-drawer.html#navigation-drawer-content

All the native material apps appears to have this functionality(say GMail for example), also boilerplate app from polymer-cli has the capability to open the temporary-drawer using a swipe from the left corner. And the same is implemented at multiple PWAs check https://flipkart.com, https://wego.com on your phone to experience the same.

Implementing the same in mdc-web will improve the UX for a ton of sites that use mdc-web.

I am guessing the aim of the repo is to make dev’s lives easier and provide standard ways of doing things.

The goal of the project is to provide Material Design components with reference implementations for the web. It won’t cover every pattern or use case defined. It is a very targeted goal to help ease developers needs. Developers shouldn’t be absolved of doing work because they use the library.

@prateekbh making it hard to say no with the gifs 😅

I’ll bring it up with the team. I’m still leaning toward not implementing something like this, but maybe having a demo of the functionality for people who wish to do so on their own.
