## CSS API

You can override all the class names injected by Material-UI thanks to the `classes` property.
This property accepts the following keys:
- `docked`
- `paper`
- `paperAnchorLeft`
- `paperAnchorRight`
- `paperAnchorTop`
- `paperAnchorBottom`
- `paperAnchorDockedLeft`
- `paperAnchorDockedTop`
- `paperAnchorDockedRight`
- `paperAnchorDockedBottom`
- `modal`

Have a look at [overriding with classes](/customization/overrides#overriding-with-classes) section
and the [implementation of the component](https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/master/packages/material-ui/src/Drawer/Drawer.js)
for more detail.

If using the `overrides` key of the theme as documented
[here](/customization/themes#customizing-all-instances-of-a-component-type),
you need to use the following style sheet name: `MuiDrawer`.
