Rendering
Starting with version R1 2022, the component has a new rendering. For additional information on the decision behind these changes, visit the Components Rendering Overview article.
To review the latest rendering of the component, refer to the HTML specifications in the Kendo UI Themes Monorepo. The tests folder of the repository contains the rendering for all flavors of the components, providing a clear reference for how their elements are structured. The rendering information can help you customize a component's appearance and behavior by applying custom CSS or JavaScript to suit specific design or functional requirements.
Best Practices
The Material Design guidelines dictate that:
When you configure the FloatingActionButton to display additional related actions (speed dial actions), you must configure only an icon for the button without a label. Use labels to display additional information for the related actions.
If the application requires an icon and a label for the FloatingActionButton, consider omitting the additional actions.
@(Html.Kendo().FloatingActionButton()
.Name("fab")
.Icon("plus")
.Text("Add To Cart")
)
Icons
The Icon() configuration option accepts a name of an icon. The specified icon must be available in the used Kendo UI theme. For more details on the available icons, refer to the Web Components Icons font.
@(Html.Kendo().FloatingActionButton()
.Name("fab")
.Icon("plus")
.Items(items=>{
items.Add().Icon("star").Label("Add Rating");
items.Add().Icon("pencil").Label("Add comment");
})
)
