API

Inputs

Input	Type	Default	Description
color	'primary' | 'accent' | 'warn'	'primary'	Toolbar color (Angular Material theme)
disabled	boolean	false	Disables the component (hides it completely)
animationDisabled	boolean	false	Disables the expansion animation (set at initialization only)

Position Behavior

The toolbar automatically detects its position within the cell and animates accordingly:

• First child in cell → Toolbar appears from the left
• Last child in cell → Toolbar appears from the right

You can place <row-actions> in any cell of your table, not just a dedicated "actions" column. This allows you to add contextual actions to specific data columns.
