Lists

<mat-list>

Lists are made up of a continuous column of rows. Each row contains a tile. Primary actions fill the tile, and supplemental actions are represented by icons and text.

Lists are best suited to presenting a homogeneous data type or sets of data types, such as images and text. They are optimized for reading comprehension while differentiating either between similar data types, or qualities within a single data type.

List alternatives:
If more than three lines of text need to be shown in list tiles, use cards instead
If the primary distinguishing content consists of images, use a grid list

Density
When the mouse and keyboard are the primary input methods, measurements may be condensed to accommodate denser layouts.
