I am trying to have a full page Angular Material tab which has tabs which are full height and have a centered message. I have created this stakblitz as I can't get it to work. The fxFill's don't seem to Fill and I am not sure if this is an issue with the Flexbox layout or Angular Material. I don't want to force a height as within each tab as that seems to defeat the point of flexible layouts.
Am sure its simple but help a poor confused developer who is used to Bootstrap grid :)
UPDATE Adding height: calc(100vh - 100px); to the parent div and then also to the tall.component div makes things work but surely this is a bad solution
In order to fill the page, the page needs to fill the window:
styles.css
body, html{
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
The app component needs to fill the body:
app.component.css
:host{
box-sizing: border-box;
display: block;
height: 100%;
}
By default the wrappers of the content within the tabs are not filling the tab's height so we will fix this:
styles.css
.mat-tab-body-wrapper, // angular < 16
.mat-mdc-tab-body-wrapper // angular >= 16
{
flex-grow: 1;
}
We also need to have the mat-tab-group
fill the height, its parent needs to fill the height too, so we will give an id to both the wrapper and the tab-group.
app.component.html
<div id="wrapper"> <!-- give it an id -->
<div fxLayout="row" fxLayoutGap="16px" fxFill>
<div fxFlex="20">
<p>Fun Sidebar</p>
</div>
<div fxFlex="80" fxFill>
<mat-tab-group id="tab-group"> <!-- give it an id -->
<mat-tab label="Summary">
<div fxFlex style="padding: 16px;">
<div class="mat-display-2">Hello</div>
<p>Lorem ipsulem</p>
</div>
</mat-tab>
<mat-tab label="Tall content">
<app-tall-component></app-tall-component>
</mat-tab>
</mat-tab-group>
</div>
</div>
</div>
app.component.css
#wrapper{
padding: 16px;
min-height: 100%;
height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;/*new*/
}
#tab-group{
height: 100%;
}
#tab-group mat-tab-body {
flex-grow: 1;
}
