I know I am probably missing something here. I am trying to align md-icon and some text vertically, right now the word "sample text" displays below the icon.
<div>
<md-icon>home</md-icon> Sample Text
</div>
Output:
I did try playing around with vertical align on the Sample Text using a span but couldn't get anything working and felt kind of hacky anyway.
Anyone know how to get this effect?
This is a common issue when using <md-icon>
. To align the icon and text, you can put your text inside a span and apply style to that:
<div>
<md-icon>home</md-icon><span class="aligned-with-icon">Sample Text</span>
</div>
In your component.css:
.aligned-with-icon{
position: absolute;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-left: 5px; /* optional */
}
You can also use relative
position if you'll be putting multiple icons in the same div. Here is the css for that:
.aligned-with-icon-relative{
position: relative;
top: -5px;
margin-left: 5px; /* optional */
}
Another option is to use flex
display on the outer div and align-items
to center
:
In your html:
<div class="with-icon">
<md-icon>home</md-icon>Sample Text
</div>
In your css:
.with-icon {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
