Angular Material - Toolbar

The <mat-toolbar>, an Angular Directive, is used to create a toolbar to show title, header or any action button.

• <mat-toolbar> - Represents the main container.

• <mat-toolbar-row> - Add a new row.

In this chapter, we will showcase the configuration required to draw a toolbar control using Angular Material.
