feature request: bottom navigation

[mikehaas763]

• Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Request a feature + implement the feature: bottom navigation.

• What is the current behavior?

Doesn't exist.

• What is the expected behavior?

Hopefully, it will exist? 😄

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

I need to build a bottom based navigation for something I'm working on, so I figured I might as well build it and contribute it to material2

The component I'm referring to is https://www.google.com/design/spec/components/bottom-navigation.html#bottom-navigation-usage

Is there any appetite for this component in the library?

Can you do this with just the toolbar and some flex layouts? Here's a quick example:

@kara I've started work on this, basically just boilerplate at this point for the component itself and the demo app. Is it beneficial to create a PR before it's ready (so others can see that it's being worked on, etc) or does that complicate the process?

The first step is to create a design doc (you can find example design docs linked in the README). Once we've agreed on an approach, generally the next step is a WIP pull request.

Going to track this via #408. If anyone plans on working on this, the first step is to comment on that PR stating your intent to implement, along with how you plan to approach it. The next step is to write a design document for the team to review (following our template). You can see the directory of existing design docs on our wiki.
