Toolbar

A toolbar is a responsive container that displays controls that allow users to manage and manipulate a data set.

Toolbar relies on groups (.pf-v6-c-toolbar__group) and items (.pf-v6-c-toolbar__item), with default col/row gap values. Groups and items can be siblings and/or items can be nested within groups. Modifier selectors adjust spacing based on the type of group. The default column-gap value for items and groups is set to --pf-v6-c--ColumnGap, whose value is --pf-t--global--spacer--md or 16px. The default row-gap value for items and groups is set to --pf-v6-c--RowGap, whose value is --pf-t--global--spacer--sm or 8px.

Default spacing for items and groups:
