Angular Material - Quick Guide



Angular Material - Overview

Angular Material is a UI component library for Angular developers. Angular Material's reusable UI components help in constructing attractive, consistent, and functional web pages and web applications while adhering to modern web design principles like browser portability, device independence, and graceful degradation.

Following are a few salient features of Angular Material −

  • In-built responsive designing.

  • Standard CSS with minimal footprint.

  • Includes new versions of common user interface controls such as buttons, check boxes, and text fields which are adapted to follow Material Design concepts.

  • Includes enhanced and specialized features like cards, toolbar, speed dial, side nav, swipe, and so on.

  • Cross-browser, and can be used to create reusable web components.

Responsive Design

  • Angular Material has in-built responsive designing so that the website created using Angular Material will redesign itself as per the device size.

  • Angular Material classes are created in such a way that the website can fit any screen size.

  • The websites created using Angular Material are fully compatible with PC, tablets, and mobile devices.

Extensible

  • Angular Material is by design very minimal and flat.

  • It is designed considering the fact that it is much easier to add new CSS rules than to overwrite existing CSS rules.

  • It supports shadows and bold colors.

  • The colors and shades remain uniform across various platforms and devices.

And most important of all, Angular Material is absolutely free to use.

Angular Material - Environment Setup

This tutorial will guide you on how to prepare a development environment to start your work with Angular Framework and Angular Material. In this chapter, we will discuss the Environment Setup required for Angular Material. To install Angular, we require the following −

  • Nodejs

  • Npm

  • Angular CLI

  • IDE for writing your code

Nodejs has to be greater than 8.11 and npm has to be greater than 5.6.

Nodejs

To check if nodejs is installed on your system, type node -v in the terminal. This will help you see the version of nodejs currently installed on your system.

C:\>node -v
v24.11.0

If it does not print anything, install nodejs on your system. To install nodejs, go the homepage https://nodejs.org/en/download/ of nodejs and install the package based on your OS.

The homepage of nodejs will look like the following −

NodeJS Homepage

Based on your OS, install the required package. Once nodejs is installed, npm will also get installed along with it. To check if npm is installed or not, type npm -v in the terminal. It should display the version of the npm.

C:\>npm -v
11.6.1

Angular Material installations are very simple with the help of angular CLI. Visit the homepage https://cli.angular.io/ of angular to get the reference of the command.

Type npm install -g @angular/cli, to install angular cli on your system.

C:\>npm install -g @angular/cli

added 121 packages, removed 48 packages, and changed 226 packages in 22s

65 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

Once Angular CLI is installed. You can use any IDE of your choice, i.e., WebStorm, Atom, Visual Studio Code, etc.

Install Angular Material

Run the following command to install Angular Material module and its related components in the project created.

materialApp>npm install --save @angular/material

+ @angular/material@20.2.11
updated 1 package in 39.699s

Add the following entry in app.module.ts file

import {BrowserAnimationsModule} from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import {FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule} from '@angular/forms';

imports: [
    ...
   FormsModule,
   ReactiveFormsModule,
   BrowserAnimationsModule
],

Add the following entry in styles.css file to get a theme.

@import "~@angular/material/prebuilt-themes/indigo-pink.css";

Add the following entry in index.htm file to get a material icons support.

<link href = "https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel = "stylesheet">

Angular Material - First Application

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create and run our first Angular application on a local machine. We also analyze its project structure. Before we proceed, please ensure that you have set up an Angular development environment on your system. You can refer to our Angular Material - Environment Setup tutorial, where we explain the installation of all the necessary tools required for the Angular development process.

Steps to Create and Run First Angular Application

The following steps are necessary to create and run each Angular application successfully −

  • Install Angular CLI

  • Create Angular Application

  • Start Angular Application

Install Angular CLI

Angular CLI is a command line interface used to maintain Angular applications directly from a command shell. It uses Node and node package manager to install and run JavaScript tools outside the browser.

Use the following command to install Angular CLI −

npm install -g @angular/cli

Let us check whether the Angular is installed in our system and the version of the installed Angular using below command −

ng --version
20.3.8

Here,

ng is the prefix that stands for Angular. It is used to denote Angular-specific directives, components, and modules. It runs in NodeJS environment.

The result shows the details of the Angular version −

So, Angular is installed in our system and the version is 20.3.8.

Create Angular Application

To create a new Angular application ng new command is used.

 ng new application-name 

Let us create an Angular application to check Angular Material Components. Give it a name material-app. But, first navigate to the folder where you want to create an Angular application using the cd command. Then, use below command to create the new application −

cd d:\projects
ng new material-app

When you run the above command a new folder with the name material-app will be created in the current working directory. Inside this folder, the Angular CLI install all the necessary Angular npm packages and other dependencies.

You will be asked some basic question in order to create new application like type of style sheet, enable SSR and SSG. For style sheet, choose CSS and do not enable SSR and SSG for the time being.

Once the basic questions are answered, a new Angular application will be created under material-app folder. Let us move into the our newly created application folder −

cd material-app

Install Angular Material

ng add @angular/material

It will give the following output.

...
CREATE src/custom-theme.scss (1147 bytes)
UPDATE angular.json (2546 bytes)
UPDATE src/index.html (510 bytes)
UPDATE src/styles.css (182 bytes)

The important directories of the application are −

  • src: This directory contains all the source code for your Angular application, including components, services, modules, templates, styles, and assets.

  • app: It is a sub-folder of src directory. It contains component files.

  • angular.json: This is the workspace configuration file which means it defines the configuration options for the entire Angular workspace.

  • node_modules: This directory contains all the npm packages installed as dependencies for the project.

  • package.json: This file contains metadata about the project and lists the npm dependencies required for the project.

  • tsconfig.json: It is the TypeScript configuration file that specifies the compiler options for TypeScript files.

  • public: This file is used to store asset files.

Start Angular Application

To start an Angular application, we use the ng serve CLI command.

ng serve

Here, the above sub command compile and run the Angular application using a local development web server. It will start a development web server and serves the application under port, 4200.

Let us fire up a browser and open http://localhost:4200. The browser will show the application as shown below −

First Angular Application

We will change the application and learn how to code an Angular Material application in the upcoming chapters.

Angular Material - AutoComplete

The <mat-autocomplete>, an Angular Directive, is used as a special input control with an inbuilt dropdown to show all possible matches to a custom query. This control acts as a real-time suggestion box as soon as the user types in the input area. <mat-autocomplete> can be used to provide search results from local or remote data sources.

In this chapter, we will showcase the configuration required to draw a autocomplete control using Angular Material.
