what does container prop do in the Drawer component in material-ui

Question

I am reading the official document of material-ui's Drawer component, and I found a container prop and I do not have an idea where it comes from. It is not mentioned in its API documentation. Is this one of the built-in react component's props?

Below is a screenshot of the responsive drawer component from material-ui: https://material-ui.com/components/drawers/#responsive-drawer

Answer 1

That prop is coming from the Modal props because Drawer includes props from Modal when variant="temporary".

container - HTML element | func

An HTML element or function that returns one. The container will have the portal children appended to it. By default, it uses the body of the top-level document object, so it's simply document.
