Angular Material - Slide Toggle

The <mat-slide-toggle>, an Angular Directive, is used as a on/off switch with material design styling and animation capabilities.

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

import { MatSlideToggleModule } from '@angular/material/slide-toggle';

@Component({

export class App {
   protected readonly title = signal('material-app');
   disabled = false;

Details

• As first, we've created two check boxes using mat-checkbox and bind them using ngModel with variables. These properties will be used to handle the slide toggle.

• Then, we've created the slide toggle and showcased its various attributes bound with variables in .ts file.
