React Material-UI Cookbook

App Bars - The Top Level of Every Page

In this chapter, you'll learn about the following recipes:

  • Fixed position
  • Hide on scroll
  • Toolbar abstraction
  • With navigation

Introduction

App Bars are the anchor point of any Material-UI application. They provide context and are usually always visible as the user navigates around the application.

Fixed position

You probably want your AppBar component to stay visible at all times. By using fixed positioning, AppBar components remain visible even as the user scrolls down the page.

How to do it...

You can use the fixed value of the position property. Here's how you do it:

import React from 'react';

import { withStyles } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import AppBar from '@material-ui/core/AppBar';
import Toolbar from '@material-ui/core/Toolbar';
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography';
import Button from '@material-ui/core/Button';
import IconButton from '@material-ui/core/IconButton';
import MenuIcon from '@material-ui/icons/Menu...

Hide on scroll

If you have a lot of content on your screen that requires the user to scroll vertically, the App Bar could be a distraction. One solution is to hide the AppBar component while the user is scrolling down.

How to do it...

To hide the AppBar component while the user is scrolling down, you have to know when the user is scrolling. This requires listening to the scroll event on the window object. You can implement a component that listens to this event and hides the AppBar component while scrolling. Here's how it's done:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { withStyles } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import AppBar from '@material-ui/core/AppBar';
import Toolbar...

Toolbar abstraction

Toolbar code can get verbose if you have to render toolbars in several places. To address this, you can create your own Toolbar component that encapsulates the content patterns of toolbars, making it easier to render AppBar components in several places.

How to do it...

Let's assume that your app renders AppBar components on several screens. Each AppBar component also renders Menu and title to the left, as well as Button to the right. Here's how you can implement your own AppBar component so that it's easier to use on several screens:

import React, { Fragment, Component } from 'react';

import { withStyles } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import AppBar from '@material...

With navigation

Material-UI apps are typically made up of several pages that are linked together using a router, such as react-router. Each page renders an App Bar that has information specific to that page. This is one example of when the abstraction that you created in the Toolbar abstraction recipe comes in handy.

How to do it...

Let's say that you're building an app that has three pages. On each page, you want to render an App Bar with the title prop of the page. Furthermore, the menu in the App Bar should contain links to the three pages. Here's how to do it:

import React, { Fragment, Component } from 'react';
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Route,
Link
} from 'react-router-dom';

import...

Description

Material-UI is a component library for rendering UI elements, using modern best practices from React and Material Design. This book will show you how you can create impressive and captivating modern-day web apps by implementing Material Design considerations. The book is designed to help you use a variety of Material-UI components to enhance UI functionality, along with guiding you through React best practices, and using state, context, and other new React 16.8 features. You will start with layout and navigation, exploring the Grid component and understanding how it’s used to build layouts for your Material-UI apps. Using Material-UI components, you’ll then explore the technique of effectively presenting information. In later sections, you will also learn about the different components for user interactions such as the text input component and buttons. Finally, the book will get you up to speed with customizing the look and feel of your app, right from creating a Material-UI theme through to styling icons and text. By the end of this book, you will have developed the skills you need to improve the look and feel of your applications using Material-UI components.
