## Basic Usage

```html
<adf-toolbar title="Toolbar">
    <button mat-icon-button>
        <mat-icon>create_new_folder</mat-icon>
    </button>
    <button mat-icon-button>
        <mat-icon>delete</mat-icon>
    </button>
</adf-toolbar>
```

### [Transclusions](../../user-guide/transclusion.md)

You can set the title content using an `<adf-toolbar-title>` element (although
you can also set a simple textual title with the `title` attribute).
All other content in the toolbar is free-form but you can use one or more
`<adf-toolbar-divider>` elements between your own elements to add a visual
separator. Also, any content following a `<div>` element with the CSS class
`adf-toolbar--spacer` will be pushed across to the right-hand side of the
toolbar:

```html
<adf-toolbar>
    <adf-toolbar-title>
        <adf-breadcrumb ...></adf-breadcrumb>
    </adf-toolbar-title>

    <adf-toolbar-divider></adf-toolbar-divider>

    <button></button>
    <button></button>

    <div class="adf-toolbar--spacer"></div>

    <button></button>
</adf-toolbar>
```

For example, the image below shows a toolbar with a
[Breadcrumb component](../../content-services/components/breadcrumb.component.md) title, and then some buttons
pushed to the right by a spacer:

### Dropdown menu

The following example shows how to create a dropdown menu. The code is based
on the `<mat-menu>` component from the `@angular/material` library
but you could also use your own custom menu components:

```html
<adf-toolbar title="Toolbar">
    ...

    <button mat-icon-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="menu">
        <mat-icon>more_vert</mat-icon>
    </button>
    <mat-menu #menu="matMenu">
        <button mat-menu-item>
            <mat-icon>dialpad</mat-icon>
            <span>Redial</span>
        </button>
        <button mat-menu-item disabled>
            <mat-icon>voicemail</mat-icon>
            <span>Check voicemail</span>
        </button>
        <button mat-menu-item>
            <mat-icon>notifications_off</mat-icon>
            <span>Disable alerts</span>
        </button>
    </mat-menu>
</adf-toolbar>
```

With the menu set up like this, you would see the following menu items as defined earlier
when you click the menu button:
