Angular Material - Creating an icon button in angular material - Angular Material Tutorial
Creating an icon button in angular material
This example will be using the class md-icon-button, which must be applied to <md-button> in order to get an icon button.
It is also recommended to add an aria-label attribute to <md-button> for accessibility purpose or the ARIA provider will throw a warning that there is no aria-label.
Usually, there is an <md-icon> element in the <md-button> attribute.
Optionally, there also may be an <md-tooltip> element to provide tooltips for the button.
This example will be using Material Icons by Google.
