Variants
Active Indicator
Add the mdc-tab-indicator--active
class to the mdc-tab-indicator
element to make the Tab Indicator active.
Indicator Types and Transitions
The Tab Indicator may be represented in one of two ways:
- Underline, indicated by the
mdc-tab-indicator__content--underline
class - Icon, indicated by the
mdc-tab-indicator__content--icon
class
NOTE: One of these classes must be applied to the Tab Indicator's content element.
The Tab Indicator may transition in one of two ways:
- Slide, the default behavior
- Fade, indicated by the
mdc-tab-indicator--fade
class
Sliding Underline Indicator
<span class="mdc-tab-indicator">
<span class="mdc-tab-indicator__content mdc-tab-indicator__content--underline"></span>
</span>
Icon Indicators
We recommend using Material Icons from Google Fonts:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
</head>
However, you can also use SVG, Font Awesome, or any other icon library you wish.
Remember to include aria-hidden="true"
, since the active indicator is already signified via the
aria-selected
attribute on the tab.
Fading Icon Indicator
<span class="mdc-tab-indicator mdc-tab-indicator--fade">
<span class="mdc-tab-indicator__content mdc-tab-indicator__content--icon material-icons" aria-hidden="true">star</span>
</span>
Sliding Icon Indicator
<span class="mdc-tab-indicator">
<span class="mdc-tab-indicator__content mdc-tab-indicator__content--icon material-icons" aria-hidden="true">star</span>
</span>
