Configurator demo

The following example demonstrates configuring different aspects of a FloatingActionButton appearance through a configurator.

Size

The size of the FloatingActionButton is controlled through its size property. The values we can pass to the property are as follows:

• small—Applies half of the default padding, e.g. 8px.
• medium (Default)—Applies the default padding, e.g. 16px.
• large—Applies one and one half of the default padding, e.g. 24px.
• null — The null option removes the built-in sizing. Allows for custom padding.

The following example demonstrates the usage of each size option:

Shape

The shape of the FloatingActionButton is controlled through its shape property. The values we can pass to the property are as follows:

• rectangle(Default)—Applies no border radius on the FloatingActionButton.
• square—Applies square shape on the FloatingActionButton.
• null—Passing null to the size property gives us the option to define a custom CSS class that sets the size of the FloatingActionButton.

The following example demonstrates the usage of each shape option:

The roundness of the FloatingActionButton is controlled through its rounded property. The values we can pass to the property are as follows:
