# Toolbars
TODO
The Toolbar system is used to define **toolbars** on the user interface. Modules (or your application) can add **items** to a toolbar, then the [theme](Theming.md) renders the toolbar on the **layout**.
There is only one **standard toolbar** named "Main" (defined as a constant: `StandardToolbars.Main`). The [Basic Theme](Basic-Theme) renders the main toolbar as shown below:
![bookstore-toolbar-highlighted](../../images/bookstore-toolbar-highlighted.png)
In the screenshot above, there are two items added to the main toolbar: Language switch component & user menu. You can add your own items here.
## Example: Add a Notification Icon
In this example, we will add a **notification (bell) icon** to the left of the language switch item. A item in the toolbar should be a **view component**. So, first, create a new view component in your project:
![bookstore-notification-view-component](../../images/bookstore-notification-view-component.png)
**NotificationViewComponent.cs**
````csharp
public class NotificationViewComponent : AbpViewComponent
{
public async Task<IViewComponentResult> InvokeAsync()
{
return View("/Pages/Shared/Components/Notification/Default.cshtml");
}
}
````
**Default.cshtml**
````xml
<div id="MainNotificationIcon" style="color: white; margin: 8px;">
<i class="far fa-bell"></i>
</div>
````
Now, we can create a class implementing the `IToolbarContributor` interface:
````csharp
public class MyToolbarContributor : IToolbarContributor
{
public Task ConfigureToolbarAsync(IToolbarConfigurationContext context)
{
if (context.Toolbar.Name == StandardToolbars.Main)
{
context.Toolbar.Items
.Insert(0, new ToolbarItem(typeof(NotificationViewComponent)));
}
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
}
````
This class adds the `NotificationViewComponent` as the first item in the `Main` toolbar.
Finally, you need to add this contributor to the `AbpToolbarOptions`, in the `ConfigureServices` of your [module](../../Module-Development-Basics.md):
````csharp
Configure<AbpToolbarOptions>(options =>
{
options.Contributors.Add(new MyToolbarContributor());
});
````
That's all, you will see the notification icon on the toolbar when you run the application:
![bookstore-notification-icon-on-toolbar](../../images/bookstore-notification-icon-on-toolbar.png)
`NotificationViewComponent` in this sample simply returns a view without any data. In real life, you probably want to **query database** (or call an HTTP API) to get notifications and pass to the view. If you need, you can add a `JavaScript` or `CSS` file to the global [bundle](Bundling-Minification.md) for your toolbar item.
## IToolbarManager
`IToolbarManager` is used to render the toolbar. It returns the toolbar items by a toolbar name. This is generally used by the [themes](Theming.md) to render the toolbar on the layout.
