Mat Icon Next To Text

I m using zurb foundation 5 5.

Mat icon next to text.

I class material icons vertical align middle chevron left i div class inline block padding bottom 3 previous div. Mat icon is part of angular material module called maticonmodule we can use font ligature as an icon by putting the ligature text in mat icon component. Surprisingly it added padding to both the icon and the div. What is the current behavior.

This doesn t mean icons need to be 16px if your content font size is also 16px. We have to import maticonmodule from angular material modules. A telephone icon next to a phone number. What is the expected behavior.

I have tried various ways but the text and icon are never horizontally aligned. Bug feature request or proposal. Mat icons used as a matprefix or matsuffix should vertically align with the input text placeholder. Codepen and steps to reproduce the issue.

Whats the correct way of placing an icon next to text. Icons ought to be treated a lot like typography. To add the icon to mat button text we need to add mat icon before the text of button as shown below h3 mat button with icon and text h3 button mat raised button color primary mat icon shopping cart mat icon add to cart button. For example mat icon home mat icon displays home icon.

That seems broken to me as the icon is outside of the div. Icons material icons are delightful beautifully crafted symbols for common actions and items. They re either used in conjunction with text or in place of it so setting the size of the icon to the size of the text next to it is important for the same reason we like consistently sized letters.
