Then, use the #content slot to add the content displayed when the Drawer is open.
<template>
  <UDrawer>
    <UButton
      label="Open"
      color="neutral"
      variant="subtle"
      trailing-icon="i-heroicons-chevron-up-20-solid"
    />
    <template #content>
      <Placeholder class="h-48 m-4" />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>
You can also use the #header, #body and #footer slots to customize the Drawer's content.

Examples
Control open state
You can control the open state by using the default-open prop or the v-model:open directive.
<script setup lang="ts">
const open = ref(false)
defineShortcuts({
  o: () => (open.value = !open.value)
})
</script>
<template>
  <UDrawer v-model:open="open">
    <UButton
      label="Open"
      color="neutral"
      variant="subtle"
      trailing-icon="i-heroicons-chevron-up-20-solid"
    />
    <template #content>
      <Placeholder class="h-48 m-4" />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>
With footer slot
Use the #footer slot to add content after the Drawer's body.
<script setup lang="ts">
const open = ref(false)
</script>
<template>
  <UDrawer
    v-model:open="open"
    title="Drawer with footer"
    description="This is useful when you want a form in a Drawer."
    :ui="{ container: 'max-w-xl mx-auto' }"
  >
    <UButton
      label="Open"
      color="neutral"
      variant="subtle"
      trailing-icon="i-heroicons-chevron-up-20-solid"
    />
    <template #body>
      <Placeholder class="h-48" />
    </template>
    <template #footer>
      <UButton label="Submit" color="neutral" class="justify-center" />
      <UButton
        label="Cancel"
        color="neutral"
        variant="outline"
        class="justify-center"
        @click="open = false"
      />
    </template>
  </UDrawer>
</template>
With command palette
You can use a CommandPalette component inside the Drawer's content.
<script setup lang="ts">
const searchTerm = ref('')
const { data: users, status } = await useFetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users', {
  params: { q: searchTerm },
  transform: (data: { id: number, name: string, email: string }[]) => {
    return data?.map(user => ({ id: user.id, label: user.name, suffix: user.email, avatar: { src: `https://i.pravatar.cc/120?img=${user.id}` } })) || []
  },
  lazy: true
})
const groups = computed(() => [{
  id: 'users',
  label: searchTerm.value ? `Users matching “${searchTerm.value}”...` : 'Users',
  items: users.value || [],
  filter: false
}])
</script>
<template>
  <UDrawer :handle="false">
    <UButton
      label="Search users..."
      color="neutral"
      variant="subtle"
      icon="i-heroicons-magnifying-glass"
    />
    <template #content>
      <UCommandPalette
        v-model:search-term="searchTerm"
        :loading="status === 'pending'"
        :groups="groups"
        placeholder="Search users..."
        class="h-80"
      />
