</bottom-nav-wrapper>

In addition to the html you have to include the ng-bottom-navigation.scss file in your index.scss file!

Configuration and theming

Configuration

The parameters of the bottom-nav-wrapper component are optional. You can leave them empty to use the default value (default values are the values in the example)-

You can add an optional topNav (see example) if you want to. The library will automatically switch between the two nav bars depending on the bottomNavBreakpoint parameters.

Theming

If you are using a custom theme you can take advantage of the theming mixin fo the bottom navigation bar.
Import the ng-bottom-navigation.scss file and use the bottom-nav-theme mixin.

// Earlier created custom theme 
$light-theme: mat-light-theme($primary, $accent, $warm);
 
// Include the mixin and pass your custom theme 
@include bottom-nav-theme($light-theme);
 
// You can also pass the colorful option ot the mixin. This will change the background color of the nav bar to your primary color 
@include bottom-nav-theme($light-theme, colorful) 
 
// You also have to include the mixin in your dark theme and padd the dark theme to it 
.dark-theme {
  $dark-theme: mat-light-theme($primary, $accent, $warm);
  @include bottom-nav-theme($dark-theme) 
}
