## Important - Deprecation Notice

The existing `MDCToolbar` component and styles will be removed in a future release. Some of its functionality
will be available in the [MDC Top App Bar](../mdc-top-app-bar) package instead. Bugs and feature requests
will no longer be accepted for the `mdc-toolbar` package. It is recommended that you migrate to the
`mdc-top-app-bar` package to continue to receive new features and updates.

# Toolbars

MDC Toolbar acts as a container for multiple rows containing items such as
application title, navigation menu, and tabs, among other things. Toolbars
scroll with content by default, but support fixed behavior as well.

When using the **fixed** pattern, a persistent elevation is added to toolbar.
When using the **waterfall** pattern, a toolbar will have no elevation when the
page is scrolled to the top, and gain elevation when a user begins to scroll
down the page. Toolbars also support anchored only last row at the top behavior.
For toolbars with this modifier, only the last row will be anchored at the top,
while the rest of toolbar scrolls off.

Flexible behavior can be added to mdc-toolbar, where the height of the toolbar
changes as the user scrolls. Flexible is defined as a modifier class of toolbar
but not a standalone component. Toolbars using this modifier will have additional
height added to their first rows.

## Installation

```
npm install @limetech/mdc-toolbar
```

## Usage

### HTML Structure

Wrap the items with `mdc-toolbar` class in the following way:

```html
<header class="mdc-toolbar">
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    <section class="mdc-toolbar__section mdc-toolbar__section--align-start">
      <a href="#" class="material-icons mdc-toolbar__menu-icon">menu</a>
      <span class="mdc-toolbar__title">Title</span>
    </section>
  </div>
</header>
```

MDC Toolbars can accommodate multiple rows using the wrapper `mdc-toolbar__row`:

```html
<header class="mdc-toolbar">
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    <section class="mdc-toolbar__section mdc-toolbar__section--align-start">
      <a href="#" class="material-icons mdc-toolbar__menu-icon">menu</a>
      <span class="mdc-toolbar__title">Title</span>
    </section>
  </div>
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    ...
  </div>
</header>
```

#### Sections

Toolbar sections are aligned to the toolbar's center. You can change this
behavior by applying `mdc-toolbar__section--align-start` or
`mdc-toolbar__section--align-end` to align the sections to the start or the end
of the toolbar (respectively).

```html
<header class="mdc-toolbar">
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    <section class="mdc-toolbar__section mdc-toolbar__section--align-start">
      Section aligns to start.
    </section>
    <section class="mdc-toolbar__section">
      Section aligns to center.
    </section>
    <section class="mdc-toolbar__section mdc-toolbar__section--align-end">
      Section aligns to end.
    </section>
  </div>
</header>
```

Toolbar sections are laid out using flexbox. Each section will take up an equal
amount of space within the toolbar by default. But you can accommodate very long section (very long title)
by adding `mdc-toolbar__section--shrink-to-fit` to other sections.

```html
<div class="mdc-toolbar">
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
      <section class="mdc-toolbar__section mdc-toolbar__section--align-start">
        <span class="mdc-toolbar__title">This is a super super super super long title</span>
      </section>
      <section class="mdc-toolbar__section mdc-toolbar__section--align-end mdc-toolbar__section--shrink-to-fit">
        <a class="material-icons search align-icons" aria-label="Search" alt="Search">search</a>
      </section>
  </div>
</div>
```

#### Toolbar title

You can use the `mdc-toolbar__title` element to style toolbar text representing
a page's title, or an application name.

```html
<header class="mdc-toolbar">
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    <section class="mdc-toolbar__section">
      <span class="mdc-toolbar__title">Title</span>
    </section>
  </div>
</header>
```

#### Toolbar Icons

Icons can be added as anchor tags, `span`s, or `button`s to `mdc-toolbar`. There are two types of icons,
`mdc-toolbar__menu-icon` represents the left most icon in `mdc-toolbar` usually to the left of `mdc-toolbar__title`.
`mdc-toolbar__icon` represents any icons placed on the right side of an `mdc-toolbar`.

We recommend using [Material Icons](https://material.io/tools/icons/) from Google Fonts:

```html
<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
</head>
```

However, you can also use SVG, [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/), or any other icon library you wish.

When using SVG icons, ensure you wrap the `svg` element in an `a` and include the `mdc-toolbar__icon` class:

```html
<a href="#" class="mdc-toolbar__icon">
  <svg></svg>
</a>
```

### Fixed toolbars

By default, toolbars scroll with the page content. To keep the toolbar fixed to
the top of the screen, add an `mdc-toolbar--fixed` class to the toolbar element.

**Adjusting sibling elements of fixed toolbars**

When using `mdc-toolbar--fixed`, you need to set the margin of the content to
prevent toolbar overlaying your content. You can add the `mdc-toolbar-fixed-adjust`
helper class to the toolbar's adjacent sibling element, which will add default
`margin-top`.

When you are using `mdc-toolbar` with JavaScript, you should assign your content
wrapper element to `mdc-toolbar`'s instance property `fixedAdjustElement`. This
will make `mdc-toolbar` aware of the wrapper class and adjust the `margin-top`
correspondingly.

```html
<header class="mdc-toolbar mdc-toolbar--fixed">
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    <section class="mdc-toolbar__section mdc-toolbar__section--align-start">
      <span class="mdc-toolbar__title">Title</span>
    </section>
  </div>
</header>
<main class="mdc-toolbar-fixed-adjust">
  <p class="demo-paragraph">
    A demo paragraph here.
  </p>
</main>

// When you are using toolbar with JavaScript
<script>
  var toolbar = mdc.toolbar.MDCToolbar.attachTo(document.querySelector('.mdc-toolbar'));
  toolbar.fixedAdjustElement = document.querySelector('.mdc-toolbar-fixed-adjust');
</script>
```

#### Waterfall toolbars (Requires JavaScript)

By adding `mdc-toolbar--waterfall` to `mdc-toolbar--fixed`, fixed toolbars become
waterfall toolbars. Waterfall toolbar is _initially_ static and has no elevation,
and then when the user starts scrolling _becomes_ fixed and _gains_ elevation.

```html
<header class="mdc-toolbar mdc-toolbar--fixed mdc-toolbar--waterfall">
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    <section class="mdc-toolbar__section mdc-toolbar__section--align-start">
      <span class="mdc-toolbar__title">Title</span>
    </section>
  </div>
</header>
<main class="mdc-toolbar-fixed-adjust">
  <p class="demo-paragraph">
    A demo paragraph here.
  </p>
</main>

<script>
  var toolbar = mdc.toolbar.MDCToolbar.attachTo(document.querySelector('.mdc-toolbar'));
  toolbar.fixedAdjustElement = document.querySelector('.mdc-toolbar-fixed-adjust');
</script>
```

#### Fixed Last Row Toolbar (Requires JavaScript)

By adding `mdc-toolbar--fixed-lastrow-only` to `mdc-toolbar--fixed`, fixed toolbars
will anchor only the last row to the top.

```html
<header class="mdc-toolbar mdc-toolbar--fixed mdc-toolbar--fixed-lastrow-only">
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    <!-- This row will scroll off screen -->
  </div>
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    <!-- This row will anchor on top of screen -->
  </div>
</header>
```

### Flexible Toolbar (Requires JavaScript)

Flexible behavior can be added to mdc-toolbar, whose height changes as the user
scrolls. Flexible behavior is highly customizable - we only define the change of
flexible space size without making further assumptions. But we do recommend the
height of flexible space should be an integral number of `mdc-toolbar__row`
height and provide a easier way for user to customize height. Users can adjust the
height of flexible space through sass variable `$mdc-toolbar-ratio-to-extend-flexible`
or css variable `--mdc-toolbar-ratio-to-extend-flexible`.

```html
<header class="mdc-toolbar mdc-toolbar--flexible">
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    ...
  </div>
</header>
```

Custom height of flexible space:

```html
<style>
  #my-flexible-header {
    --mdc-toolbar-ratio-to-extend-flexible: 3;
  }
</style>
<header class="mdc-toolbar mdc-toolbar--flexible">
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    ...
  </div>
</header>
```

Flexible toolbars emit a `change` custom event with a `detail` object containing
`flexibleExpansionRatio` property. The `flexibleExpansionRatio` property is a
number from 0-1 representing the _ratio of flexible space that has already been
collapsed divided by the total amount of flexible space_.

```javascript
toolbar.listen('MDCToolbar:change', function(evt) {
  var flexibleExpansionRatio = evt.detail.flexibleExpansionRatio;
  console.log(flexibleExpansionRatio.toFixed(2));
});

```

For the most common use case of flexible headers, we've defined a **default** behavior:
- Flexible has a fixed initial height 4 times the default size of `mdc-toolbar__row`.
- When it has `mdc-toolbar--flexible-default-behavior`, it further defines the
background and title movement behavior.

```html
<style>
  .mdc-toolbar__row:first-child::after {
    background-image: url("../images/4-3-2.jpg");
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
  }
</style>
<header class="mdc-toolbar mdc-toolbar--flexible mdc-toolbar--flexible-default-behavior">
  <div class="mdc-toolbar__row">
    ...
  </div>
</header>
```

##### Caveat: Complex animation performance

Due to the nature of having to listen for scroll events and mutate height, this
may degrade performance in some mobile browsers. For example, combining high
resolution images with parallax scrolling could lead to severe performance
issues in certain mobile browsers. When implementing patterns like these for a
mobile device, ensure that the image is as optimized as possible and carefully
test the performance to make sure that it is adequate.

```css
.mdc-toolbar__row:first-child::after {
  background-image: url("../images/4-3.jpg");
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
}
@media (max-width: 37.4375rem) {
  background-image: url("../images/4-3-compressed.jpg");
  background-position: 0 0;
}
```

### RTL Support

`mdc-toolbar` is automatically RTL-aware, and will re-position elements whenever
it, or its ancestors, has a `dir="rtl"` attribute.

## Classes

### Block

The block class is `mdc-toolbar`. This defines the top-level toolbar element.

### Element

The component accommodates multiple rows using the wrapper `mdc-toolbar__row`.
For each row, it has `mdc-toolbar__section` and `mdc-toolbar__title` elements. You
can add multiple sections to toolbar. Refer to Sections and Toolbar title for
further details.

### Modifier

The provided modifiers are:

Class | Description
--- | ---
`mdc-toolbar--fixed` | Makes toolbar fixed on top and have persistent elevation
`mdc-toolbar--waterfall` | Removes fixed toolbar persistent elevation and makes it gain elevation when a user begins to scroll down the page
`mdc-toolbar--fixed-lastrow-only` | Makes only last row of fixed toolbar anchored on top
`mdc-toolbar--flexible` | Makes first row of toolbar have flexible space
`mdc-toolbar__section--align-start` | Makes section align to the start
`mdc-toolbar__section--align-end` | Makes section align to the end
`mdc-toolbar__section--shrink-to-fit`| Makes section take the width of its content

## Sass Mixins

Mixin | Description

## JS Usage

### Including in code

#### ES Module syntax

```javascript
import {MDCToolbar, MDCToolbarFoundation} from '@limetech/mdc-toolbar';
```

#### CommonJS

```javascript
const mdcToolbar = require('@limetech/mdc-toolbar');
const MDCToolbar = mdcToolbar.MDCToolbar;
const MDCToolbarFoundation = mdcToolbar.MDCToolbarFoundation;
```

#### AMD

```javascript
require(['/path/to/@limetech/mdc-toolbar'], mdcToolbar => {
  const MDCToolbar = mdcToolbar.MDCToolbar;
  const MDCToolbarFoundation = mdcToolbar.MDCToolbarFoundation;
});
```

#### Global

```javascript
const MDCToolbar = mdc.toolbar.MDCToolbar;
const MDCToolbarFoundation = mdc.toolbar.MDCToolbarFoundation;

### Automatic Instantiation

If you do not care about retaining the component instance for the toolbar, simply call `attachTo()`
and pass it a DOM element.

```javascript
mdc.toolbar.MDCToolbar.attachTo(document.querySelector('.mdc-toolbar'));
```

### Manual Instantiation

```javascript
import {MDCToolbar} from '@limetech/mdc-toolbar';

const toolbar = new MDCToolbar(document.querySelector('.mdc-toolbar'));
```
