Ionic - Footer

Ionic footer is placed at the bottom of the app screen. Working with footers is almost the same as working with headers.

Adding Footer

The main class for Ionic footers is bar (the same as header). When you want to add footer to your screens, you need to add bar-footer class to your element after the main bar class. Since we want to use our footer on every screen in the app, we will add it to the body of the index.html file. We will also add title for our footer.

<div class = "bar bar-footer">
   <h1 class = "title">Footer</h1>
</div>

The above code will produce the following screen −

Footer Colors

If you want to style your footer, you just need to add the appropriate color class to it. When you style your elements, you need to add your main element class as a prefix to your color class. Since we are styling a footer bar, the prefix class will be a bar and the color class that we want to use in this example is assertive (red).

<div class = "bar bar-footer bar-assertive">
   <h1 class = "title">Footer</h1>
</div>

The above code will produce the following screen −

You can use any of the following nine classes to give a color of your choice to your app footer −

Color Class	Description	Result
bar-light	To be used for white color
bar-stable	To be used for light grey color
bar-positive	To be used for blue color
bar-calm	To be used for light blue color
bar-balanced	To be used for green color
bar-energized	To be used for yellow color
bar-assertive	To be used for red color
bar-royal	To be used for violet color
bar-dark	To be used for black color

Footer Elements

Footers can contain elements inside it. Most of the time you will need to add buttons with icons inside a footer.

The first button added will always be in the left corner. The last one will be placed on the right. The buttons in between will be grouped next to the first one on the left side of your footer. In following example, you can also notice that we use the icon class to add icons on top of the buttons.

<div class = "bar bar-footer bar-assertive">
   <button class = "button icon ion-navicon"></button>
   <button class = "button icon ion-home"></button>
   <button class = "button icon ion-star"></button>
   <button class = "button icon ion-checkmark-round"></button>
</div>

The above code will produce the following screen −

If you want to move your button to the right you can add pull-right class.

<div class = "bar bar-footer bar-assertive">
   <button class = "button icon ion-navicon pull-right"></button>
</div>

The above code will produce the following screen −
