Properties​

action​

An optional action that the user can take based on the snack bar.

For example, the snack bar might let the user undo the operation that prompted the snackbar. Snack bars can have at most one action.

The action should not be "dismiss" or "cancel".

action_color​

The foreground color of action button.

action_overflow_threshold​

The percentage (between 0.0 and 1.0) threshold for action's width before it overflows to a new line.

If the width of the snackbar's content is greater than this percentage of the width of the snackbar minus the width of its action, then the action will appear below the content.

At a value of 0.0, the action will not overflow to a new line.

Defaults to 0.25.
