Floating Action Button labels?

Topic: Floating Action Button labels?

GollyJer pro asked 7 years ago

Am I missing a simple way to add labels to the FAB? Labels are a staple of the design. We're adding and styling themselves right now but I thought I'd ask just in case it's already implemented and I missed it. Thanks!

You can do it this way:

scss file:

<div>
<div>
<pre>.fixed-action-btn {
&.width-auto{
.fixed_collapse{
left: auto;
text-align: right;
padding: 0px;
.span-floating{
width: 100%;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
vertical-align: middle;
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
transition: all 0.2 sease-in-out;
padding: 0 0 5px 0;
cursor: pointer;
.badge{
display: inline;
font-size: 100%;
}
}
}
}
}</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div>and in the html</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<pre><div class="fixed-action-btn width-auto" style="bottom: 45px; right: 24px;">
<a class="btn-floating btn-large red waves-light"mdbWavesEffect (click)="fixed.toggle($event)">
<i class="fa fa-pencil"></i>
</a>
<div class="fixed_collapse" [mdbCollapse]="isCollapsed" #fixed="bs-collapse">
<span class="span-floating">
<span class="badge grey">New</span>
<a class="btn-floating red waves-light"mdbWavesEffect><iclass="fa fa-star"></i></a>

Right now we don't have such a solution, but I've bookmarked your ideas and we'll probably implement it in the future version of MDB. Thanks for contributing.

<a href="http://codepen.io/T-P/pen/zqbrBO" rel="nofollow">This codepen</a> has the exact desired behavior.  i.e. - Buttons with labels and a backdrop that, when clicked closes the button menu.

There is also <a href="https://github.com/futuresimple/android-floating-action-button" rel="nofollow">a library on github </a>that has the basic functionality.

Here's what it looks like in Inbox by Gmail.
