ion-toolbar

Toolbars are positioned above or below content. When a toolbar is placed in an <ion-header> it will appear fixed at the top of the content, and when it is in an <ion-footer> it will appear fixed at the bottom. Fullscreen content will scroll behind a toolbar in a header or footer. When placed within an <ion-content>, toolbars will scroll with the content.

Buttons

Buttons placed in a toolbar should be placed inside of the <ion-buttons> element. The <ion-buttons> element can be positioned inside of the toolbar using a named slot. The below chart has a description of each slot.
