Highlight activated list item

[JakobVogelsang]

Hi all,

I want to use the components md-list and md-list-item to create a custom purpose list. One of the requirements is that the activated list item shall be highlighted somehow. E.g. the way mwc-list did with the activated property.

I have looked into the code and see that with type!="text" a md-focus-ring is part of the DOM, but in my case it is always disabled.

Is such a highlighting possible with the two components out of the box?

Not yet, pre-built selection lists on our on todo list (ha).

You'd need to hook up the logic yourself right now. You should be able to use background to give it a highlight color. <md-menu-item> does something similar you could reference.

Thank you very much for the hint!
