How to remove the padding around ion-item?

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.

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
}

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;
}
