Items are elements that can contain text, icons, avatars, images, inputs, and any other native or custom elements. Generally they are placed in a list with other items. Items can be swiped, deleted, reordered, edited, and more.

Detail Arrows

By default, clickable items will display a right arrow icon on ios mode. To hide the right arrow icon on clickable elements, set the detail property to false. To show the right arrow icon on an item that doesn't display it naturally, add the detail attribute to the item.

Item Placement

Item uses named slots in order to position content. This logic makes it possible to write a complex item with simple, understandable markup without having to worry about styling and positioning the elements.

The below chart details the item slots and where it will place the element inside of the item:

Slot	Description
`start`	Placed to the left of all other content in LTR, and to the `right` in RTL.
`end`	Placed to the right of all other content in LTR, and to the `left` in RTL.
none	Placed inside of the input wrapper.

Text Alignment

Items left align text and add an ellipsis when the text is wider than the item. See the Utility Attributes Documentation for attributes that can be added to <ion-item> to transform the text.

Input Highlight

Highlight Height

Items containing an input will highlight the input with a different color border when focused, valid, or invalid. By default, md items have a highlight with a height set to 2px and ios has no highlight (technically the height is set to 0). The height can be changed using the --highlight-height CSS property. To turn off the highlight, set this variable to 0. For more information on setting CSS properties, see the theming documentation.

Highlight Color

The highlight color changes based on the item state, but all of the states use Ionic colors by default. When focused, the input highlight will use the primary color. If the input is valid it will use the success color, and invalid inputs will use the danger color. See the CSS Custom Properties section below for the highlight color variables.
