Mate Rio - Material Design Admin Template

There are 3 main button types described in material design. The raised button is a standard button that signify actions and seek to give depth to a mostly flat page. The floating circular action button is meant for very important functions. Flat buttons are usually used within elements that already have depth like cards or modals

Floating

Fixed Action Button

If you want a fixed floating action button, you can add multiple actions that will appear on hover. Our demo is in the bottom righthand corner of the page.


  <div class="fixed-action-btn" style="bottom: 45px; right: 24px;">
    <a class="btn-floating btn-large red">
      <i class="large material-icons">mode_edit</i>
    </a>
    <ul>
      <li><a class="btn-floating red"><i class="material-icons">insert_chart</i></a></li>
      <li><a class="btn-floating yellow darken-1"><i class="material-icons">format_quote</i></a></li>
      <li><a class="btn-floating green"><i class="material-icons">publish</i></a></li>
      <li><a class="btn-floating blue"><i class="material-icons">attach_file</i></a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>

You can also open and close the Fixed Action Button Menu programatically.


  $('.fixed-action-btn').openFAB();
  $('.fixed-action-btn').closeFAB();
  $('.fixed-action-btn.toolbar').openToolbar();
  $('.fixed-action-btn.toolbar').closeToolbar();

Horizontal FAB

Creating a horizontal FAB is easy! Just add the class horizontal to the FAB.


  <div class="fixed-action-btn horizontal" style="bottom: 45px; right: 24px;">
    <a class="btn-floating btn-large red">
      <i class="large material-icons">mode_edit</i>
    </a>
    <ul>
      <li><a class="btn-floating red"><i class="material-icons">insert_chart</i></a></li>
      <li><a class="btn-floating yellow darken-1"><i class="material-icons">format_quote</i></a></li>
      <li><a class="btn-floating green"><i class="material-icons">publish</i></a></li>
      <li><a class="btn-floating blue"><i class="material-icons">attach_file</i></a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>

Click-only FAB

If you want to disable the hover behaviour, and instead toggle the FAB menu when the user clicks on the large button (works great on mobile!), just add the click-to-toggle class to the FAB.


  <div class="fixed-action-btn horizontal click-to-toggle" style="bottom: 45px; right: 24px;">
    <a class="btn-floating btn-large red">
      <i class="large material-icons">menu</i>
    </a>
    <ul>
      <li><a class="btn-floating red"><i class="material-icons">insert_chart</i></a></li>
      <li><a class="btn-floating yellow darken-1"><i class="material-icons">format_quote</i></a></li>
      <li><a class="btn-floating green"><i class="material-icons">publish</i></a></li>
      <li><a class="btn-floating blue"><i class="material-icons">attach_file</i></a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>

Pulse effect

Draw attention to floating buttons with this effect by adding the class pulse.


  <div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-around; padding:12px;">
    <a class="btn btn-floating pulse"><i class="material-icons">menu</i></a>
    <a class="btn btn-floating btn-large amber pulse"><i class="material-icons black-text">edit</i></a>
  </div>

FAB to Toolbar

Instead of displaying individual button options, you can transition your FAB into a toolbar on click. Just add the toolbar class to the FAB.


  <div style="position: relative; height: 90px; width:100%; overflow:hidden">
    <div class="fixed-action-btn toolbar" style="position: absolute; right: 24px;">
      <a class="btn-floating btn-large purple accent-4">
        <i class="large material-icons">menu</i>
      </a>
      <ul>
        <li class="waves-effect waves-light"><a href="#!"><i class="material-icons">insert_chart</i></a></li>
        <li class="waves-effect waves-light"><a href="#!"><i class="material-icons">format_quote</i></a></li>
        <li class="waves-effect waves-light"><a href="#!"><i class="material-icons">publish</i></a></li>
        <li class="waves-effect waves-light"><a href="#!"><i class="material-icons">attach_file</i></a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>

Flat

Flat buttons are used to reduce excessive layering. For example, flat buttons are usually used for actions within a card or modal so there aren't too many overlapping shadows.

Button


  <a class="waves-effect waves-teal btn-flat">Button</a>

Submit Button

When you use a button to submit a form, instead of using a input tag, use a button tag with a type submit


  <button class="btn waves-effect waves-light" type="submit" name="action">Submit
    <i class="material-icons right">send</i></i>
  </button>

This style can be applied to all button types

Button Button Button


<a class="btn-large disabled">Button</a>
<a class="btn disabled">Button</a>
<a class="btn-flat disabled">Button</a>
<a class="btn-floating disabled"><i class="material-icons">add</i></a>
