How to lock mat-toolbar and mat-tabs to the top with Angular Material 2?

To lock a mat-toolbar and mat-tab component to the top of the page using Angular Material 2, you can use CSS positioning or Angular’s sticky directive.

We can try the following:

Using CSS Positioning

HTML:

<mat-toolbar color="primary" class="sticky-toolbar">
    <!-- Toolbar content -->
</mat-toolbar>

<mat-tab-group class="sticky-tabs">
    <mat-tab label="Tab 1">
        <!-- Tab content -->
    </mat-tab>
    <mat-tab label="Tab 2">
        <!-- Tab content -->
    </mat-tab>
</mat-tab-group>

CSS:

.sticky-toolbar {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 1000; /* Ensure toolbar is above other content */
}

.sticky-tabs {
    margin-top: 64px; /* Adjust according to toolbar height */
}

Using Angular’s Sticky Directive

HTML:

<mat-toolbar color="primary" sticky>
    <!-- Toolbar content -->
</mat-toolbar>

<mat-tab-group sticky>
    <mat-tab label="Tab 1">
        <!-- Tab content -->
    </mat-tab>
    <mat-tab label="Tab 2">
        <!-- Tab content -->
    </mat-tab>
</mat-tab-group>

Angular Component:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent { }

CSS:

/* Add any additional styling as needed */

In this approach, the mat-toolbar and mat-tab-group components are given the sticky attribute, which enables sticky behavior.

CSS adjustments may be required for positioning the tabs below the toolbar to ensure they don’t overlap.

Both methods should effectively lock the toolbar and tabs to the top of the page.
