Variants
Top App Bar With Action Items
Top app bars can contain action items which are placed on the side opposite the navigation icon. You must also attach the mdc-icon-button
class to both the mdc-top-app-bar__navigation-icon
and the mdc-top-app-bar__action-item
elements in order to get the correct styles applied. For further documentation on icons, please see the mdc-icon-button docs.

Short top app bars should be used with no more than 1 action item.
Short - Always Closed
Short top app bars can be configured to always appear collapsed by applying the mdc-top-app-bar--short-collapsed
before instantiating the component :

...
</header>
Fixed
Fixed top app bars stay at the top of the page and elevate above the content when scrolled.
<header class="mdc-top-app-bar mdc-top-app-bar--fixed">
...
</header>
Prominent
The prominent top app bar is taller.
<header class="mdc-top-app-bar mdc-top-app-bar--prominent">
...
</header>
Dense
The dense top app bar is shorter.
<header class="mdc-top-app-bar mdc-top-app-bar--dense">
