# Touch Target
Touch targets are the parts of the screen that respond to user input. They extend beyond the visual bounds of an element.
For example, a button may appear to be 48 x 36 px, but the padding surrounding it comprises the full 48 x 48 px touch target.
Material Design spec states that touch targets should be at least 48 x 48 px.
The MDC Web library provides mixins and guidance on adding an increased touch target for the following components:
* Button
* Chips
* Checkbox
* Radio
* Mini FAB
## Design & API Documentation
## Installation
```
npm install @material/touch-target
```
## Basic Usage
### HTML Structure
For a given button component:
```html
```
You would add an increased touch target as follows:
```html
```
Note that the outer `mdc-touch-target-wrapper` element is only necessary if you want to avoid potentially overlapping touch targets on adjacent elements (due to collapsing margins).
### Styles
```css
@use "@material/touch-target/mdc-touch-target";
```
