How to remove the padding around ion-item? - html

Question

I want to remove padding from my ion-item so that it can occupy the full width of the page.
Please look in the dev tools to see the padding around the ion-item.
<ion-content padding>
<ion-list>
<ion-item>
<ion-thumbnail>
<img class="imgmg" src="...">
</ion-thumbnail>
<h2>Text</h2>
</ion-item>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
The ion-item has a padding of 16px, when I inspect the ion-item and also on the class="scroll-content" there I found scss in the inspector with
ion-app.md [padding] .scroll-content {
padding: 16px;
}
If I remove this padding then ion-item can occupy the whole width by removing this padding, but When I use this in my scss file the padding is not removed.

Answer 1

For those who are using ionic 4, you should use Ionic CSS Utilties for padding
In short, you have to code this:
<ion-item class="ion-no-padding">
<ion-thumbnail>
<img class="imgmg" src="...">
</ion-thumbnail>
<h2>Text</h2>
</ion-item>
If you want to remove inner paddding, use ion-item custom CSS properties:
ion-item {
--padding-end: 0px;
--inner-padding-end: 0px;
// here other custom CSS from documentation
}

Answer 2

You can solve ion-item padding different way...
First: Using ion-no-padding class
<ion-item class="ion-no-padding">
<ion-thumbnail>
<img class="imgmg" src="...">
</ion-thumbnail>
<h2>Text</h2>
</ion-item>
Second: Using css or inline style
<ion-item style="padding:0px !important;">
<ion-thumbnail>
<img class="imgmg" src="...">
</ion-thumbnail>
<h2>Text</h2>
</ion-item>
Edit : As Ionic 5.X we must use CSS utilities by class instead of attributes ( ionic/BREAKING.md ).

Answer 3

I had to use custom CSS properties for ion-item
ion-item {
--inner-padding-bottom: 0;
--inner-padding-end: 0;
--inner-padding-start: 0;
--inner-padding-top: 0;
}

Answer 4

just give no-padding to ion-item it will remove the padding
<ion-item no-padding>
<ion-thumbnail>
<img class="imgmg" src="...">
</ion-thumbnail>
<h2>Text</h2>
</ion-item>
Refer the ionic docs

Answer 5

Also had the same maddening problem. It turns out that ion-item has a few --inner-padding rules that need to be overridden to stop padding appearing on it's children
As well as adding the
class="ion-no-padding"
I also needed to add the following css style rule
--inner-padding-end: 0 !important;
Making the final element
<ion-item *virtualItem="let section" lines="none" class="ion-no-padding" style="--inner-padding-end: 0 !important;">
...

Answer 6

If you prefer not to add no-padding to every ion-item, and remove it for the whole app.
For ionic v4, you can add this to global.scss:
ion-item {
--padding-start: 0;
}

Removing padding from the content of the page solves the problem
<ion-content>
<ion-list>
<ion-item>
<ion-thumbnail>
<img class="imgmg" src="...">
</ion-thumbnail>
<h2>Text</h2>
</ion-item>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
