How to remove the padding around ion-item?

Issue

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.

Solution

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 ).
