BottomAppBar

The Bottom App Bar provides navigation and key actions at the bottom of a mobile page.

Usage

Import the component:

import 'mdui/components/bottom-app-bar.js';

Import the TypeScript type:

import type { BottomAppBar } from 'mdui/components/bottom-app-bar.js';

Example: (Note: The style="position: relative" in the example is for demonstration purposes only. Remove it in actual use.)

<mdui-bottom-app-bar style="position: relative;">
  <mdui-button-icon icon="check_box--outlined"></mdui-button-icon>
  <mdui-button-icon icon="edit--outlined"></mdui-button-icon>
  <mdui-button-icon icon="mic_none--outlined"></mdui-button-icon>
  <mdui-button-icon icon="image--outlined"></mdui-button-icon>
  <div style="flex-grow: 1"></div>
  <mdui-fab icon="add"></mdui-fab>
</mdui-bottom-app-bar>

Notes:

The BottomAppBar component uses position: fixed by default. It automatically adds padding-bottom to the body to prevent the page content from being obscured.

However, it uses position: absolute in the following two cases:

When the scroll-target attribute is specified. In this case, padding-bottom will be added to the element specified by scroll-target.
When it's within the <mdui-layout></mdui-layout> component. In this case, padding-bottom won't be added.

Examples

In Container

By default, the Bottom App Bar displays at the bottom of the page, relative to the current window.

To place it inside a specific container, specify the scroll-target attribute with the CSS selector or DOM element of the container. Ensure the parent element has position: relative; overflow: hidden styles.

Content

<div style="position: relative;overflow: hidden">
  <mdui-bottom-app-bar scroll-target=".example-scroll-target">Content</mdui-bottom-app-bar>

  <div class="example-scroll-target" style="height: 200px;overflow: auto;">
    <div style="height: 1000px"></div>
  </div>
</div>

Code

Hide on Scroll

To hide the Bottom App Bar when scrolling down and display it when scrolling up, set the scroll-behavior attribute to hide.

The scroll-threshold attribute can be used to set the number of pixels to start hiding the Bottom App Bar.

Content

<div style="position: relative;overflow: hidden">
  <mdui-bottom-app-bar
    scroll-behavior="hide"
    scroll-threshold="30"
    scroll-target=".example-scroll-behavior"
  >Content</mdui-bottom-app-bar>

  <div class="example-scroll-behavior" style="height: 200px;overflow: auto;">
    <div style="height: 1000px"></div>
  </div>
</div>

Code

Fixed Floating Action Button

If the Bottom App Bar includes a Floating Action Button (FAB), add the fab-detach attribute to anchor the FAB at the page's bottom right when the Bottom App Bar hides on scroll.

<div style="position: relative;overflow: hidden">
  <mdui-bottom-app-bar
    fab-detach
    scroll-behavior="hide"
    scroll-threshold="30"
    scroll-target=".example-fab-detach"
  >
    <mdui-button-icon icon="check_box--outlined"></mdui-button-icon>
    <mdui-button-icon icon="edit--outlined"></mdui-button-icon>
    <mdui-button-icon icon="mic_none--outlined"></mdui-button-icon>
    <mdui-button-icon icon="image--outlined"></mdui-button-icon>
    <div style="flex-grow: 1"></div>
    <mdui-fab icon="add"></mdui-fab>
  </mdui-bottom-app-bar>

  <div class="example-fab-detach" style="height: 200px;overflow: auto;">
    <div style="height: 1000px"></div>
  </div>
</div>
