1 Introduction to Angular Material

1.1. What is Material Design

Material Design is a User Interface design language created by Google in 2014. It dictates a set of principles and guidelines for creating UIs including motion (animations) and interaction (gestures).

1.2. What is Angular Material

Angular Material is a UI component library for Angular developers (Material Design components for Angular)
Angular Material is the implementation of Material Design for Angular. It offers a set of components and patterns for navigation, forms, buttons, and layouts
Angular Material is a library of re-usable and high-quality UI components built with Angular and TypeScript
The angular Material library provides us with the component to build awesome user interface/look and feel in quick time
It an implementation of Google's Material Design specification and standards (Just like we have UI frameworks for following famous and popular frameworks):
- ReactJs -> MaterialUI
- VueJs -> Vuetify
- Angular -> Angular Material

Framework	UI Component Library
`ReactJs`	MaterialUI
`VueJs`	Vuetify
`Angular`	Angular Material

Current major version of Angular and Angular Material is version 7 / 8

1.3. Benefits of Angular Material

There are several benefits of using Angular Material components. Angular Material Components are:

Internationalized (Worldwide user with different languages can use)
Clean and simple API
Well testing with Unit and Integration test
Easily Customizable
Theme based (various themes available)
Very fast (minimal performance overhead)
Well-documented
Community support
Constructing attractive, consistent, and functional web pages and web applications
Follow/Adhere to modern web design principles like browser portability, device independence, and graceful degradation

1.4. Features of Angular Material

In-built responsive designing
Cross-browser compatibility
Can be used to create reusable web components
Includes new versions of common UI controls/components such as buttons, checkboxes, and text fields, etc.
Adapted to Material Design concepts/principles
Includes enhanced/specialized features like cards, toolbar, speed dial, side nav, swipe, and so on

1.5. Difference Between Angular Material and Bootstrap

1.5. Angular Material vs Bootstrap

In an application, one can use UI library/framework as Angular Material or Bootstrap or maybe both together as per needs and requirements

Angular Material	Bootstrap
New in the market(recently develop and introduced)	Old UI layout framework
Consists of fewer components as compared to Bootstrap	Consists of many useful components
Angular Material is specially built for Angular, so it is standard framework/UI library used in all Google applications	Bootstrap is not specially built for Angular so Bootstrap with Angular has lots of third party dependencies which may break any time
Angular Material components are built with Angular/TypeScript/JavaScript	Bootstrap is built/developed with plain JavaScript and jQuery. `Bootstrap UI` library is developed with Angular, and used especially for Angular Development
Common API, Ease to use and standard look and feel for various components	It have a different layout and different standards of look and feel
Good to use but not completely stable, as new component development is in progress	Stable

1.6. Various Angular Material Comonents

Visit Angular Material library home page: website: https://material.angular.io

Various Angular components available: website: https://material.angular.io/components/categories

  - Table

Have a look at some of the examples given for/with each component and try to follow it

2 Getting Started with Angular Material

2.1. Installing Angular Material

2.1. Angular Material Environment Setup

To install Angular and Angular Material, we require the following:

Nodejs
Npm
Angular CLI
Visual Code Editor, or an IDE for writing your code

Its advisable to follow and keep open updated Angular Material guide/help document while implementing any component in an application:

First Check Node/NPM, Angular CLI installed version by using the following command:

ng -v 

or 

ng --version

In this tutorial, we'll see how to add Material Design to Angular project/application in two different ways: ( There are a different set of Material installation processes for Angular/Angular CLI 4+ versions and Angular 6+)

The manual or the long way: Install and add all dependencies by following a bunch of steps manually. This works for Angular 4+ versions
The short or quick way: By using the ng add command to easily/quickly add Angular Material in one step using Angular Schematics. This method only works with Angular 6+ versions

Its good to have and use Angular CLI version 7 and above installed on your machine (so if Angular CLI version 6 or lower available, please upgrade to Angular CLI version 7)

2.1.1. Installation-The manual or the long way

Step 1: Install all dependencies
Step 2: Include an angular material theme in current application styles.css
Step 3: Provide animation support if any, by importing BrowserAnimationsModule or NoopAnimationsModule in app.module.ts
Step 4: Verify installation of Angular Material, by using some Material components in HTML page of an application
Step 5: Run/Serve the application to get the final output

Step 1: Install all dependencies

Create a new project with angular cli command-line utility
```
  ng new demo-material
```
Change directory to explore inside
```
cd demo-material
```
install the Component Dev Kit (CDK)
```
npm i --save @angular/cdk
```
- Component Dev Kit (CDK) is one of the most important dependencies for angular material
- Its library allows to create and build awesome components for web
install Angular Material
```
npm i --save @angular/material
```
install Angular Animation
```
npm i --save @angular/animations
```
install HammerJS which provides gesture recognition capabilities (website: hammerjs.github.io)
```
npm i --save hammerjs
```

Single command to install everything ie. above all dependencies at one go: npm i --save @angular/cdk @angular/material @angular/animations hammerjs

Step 2: Include/import an angular material theme in current application styles.css

styles.css

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

Step 3: Provide animation support if any, by importing BrowserAnimationsModule in app.module.ts

app.module.ts

import { BrowserAnimationsModule, NoopAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

imports: [
  BrowserAnimationsModule, NoopAnimationsModule
]

Step 4: Verify installation of Angular Material, by using some components in the application HTML page

app.component.html

Delete old markup
add Angular Material checkbox component markup as:

<!-- old markup
    <md-checkbox>I am Interested</md-checkbox> 
-->

<mat-checkbox>I am Interested</mat-checkbox>

app.module.ts

/* old statement
import { MdCheckboxModule } from '@angular/material' */

import { MatCheckboxModule } from '@angular/material/checkbox';

imports: [
  BrowserAnimationsModule, NoopAnimationsModule,
  
  /* old statement
  MdCheckboxModule */

  MatCheckboxModule
]

Step 5: Run/Serve the application to get final output and load in the browser:

Start the server or Run/Serve the application command:
```
ng serve
```
Open browser and type application server path running at: localhost:4200

2.1.2. Installation-The short or quick way

Create a new angular project/application with the command:
```
ng new material-demo
```
Navigate into the newly created project/application folder with the command:
```
cd material-demo
```
Install or setup Angular Material with the command:
```
ng add @angular/material
```
- Provide an appropriate option for theme - Indigo-pink
- Setup HammerJs for gesture recognition - Yes
- Browser animations - Yes
Once this simple basic environment setup is done for Angular Material we are ready to use Angular Material in our project/application

Note: ng add @angular/material command include required modules/dependencies, themes and make entries/changes in files like angular.json, package.json, index.html, main.ts, styles.css, app.module.ts etc.

2.2. Using Angular Material in project Application

To use Angular Material in project Application, there are 3 simples steps:

Import required Angular Material component
Add the imported Angular Material component under imports array
Add necessary HTML tag/markup related to Angular Material component in HTML markup file/page

Let's do it practically:

app.module.ts: import required Angular Material component module in app.module.ts

/* import { MatButtonModule } from '@angular/material' */
import { MatButtonModule } from '@angular/material/button'

Add the imported Angular Material component under imports array
```
imports: [ MatButtonModule ]
```
app.component.html: Add necessary html tag/markup related to Angular Material component in html markup file/page
```
<button mat-button>Check Me! </button>

<button mat-raised-button>Click Me! </button>
```
Run/Serve the angular application with command:
```
ng serve -o
```
Load application in browser, type url and check output
```
http://localhost:4200
```

2.3. Creating a separate material module

2.3. Isolate extract material module

It is advisable/better recommended and professional approach to create a separate Angular material module named angMaterials which will contain/deal with importing and exporting all required Angular material component modules.
Include the angMaterials module in app.module.ts so that Angular material components code will be isolated as well as it will neat-clean and readable.
```
`ng g m angMaterials` 

or 

`ng generate module angMaterials`
```

angMaterials.module.ts file will consist of only the import and exports related to Angular Material modules. So please remove all import and exports statements related to Angular Material modules from app.module.ts and add it into newly created angMaterials.module.ts:

/* import { MatButtonModule } from `@angular/material` */
import { MatButtonModule } from '@angular/material/button'

const AngMaterialsCompModule = [
    MatButtonModule
]

imports: [ AngMaterialsCompModule ], 
exports: [ AngMaterialsCompModule ]

Every Angular Material component/module used in the application/project should be enter under const AngMaterialsCompModule
Finally include/import and imports the AngMaterialsModule in app module
Restart the server and run the application than check in browser

Syntax & Example: app.module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { BrowserAnimationsModule, NoopAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations'

/* import { MatCheckboxModule } from '@angular/material/checkbox';
import { MatButtonModule } from '@angular/material/button' */
import { AngMaterialsModule } from './ang-materials/ang-materials.module';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    NoopAnimationsModule,
    /* MatCheckboxModule, MatButtonModule */
    AngMaterialsModule

  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})

export class AppModule { }

Syntax & Example: ang-materials.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { MatCheckboxModule } from '@angular/material/checkbox';
import { MatButtonModule } from '@angular/material/button'

const AngMaterialsCompModule = [
  MatButtonModule,
  MatCheckboxModule
]

@NgModule({
  declarations: [],
  imports: [
    AngMaterialsCompModule
  ],
  exports: [ AngMaterialsCompModule ]

})

export class AngMaterialsModule { }

2.4. Typography

Typography is nothing but managing/systematizing/representing the text in distinct/legible, readable, and appealing way when displayed/used on a page
Angular Material's typography is based on the guidelines from the Google Material Design spec and is designed/arranged and systematized into different typography levels
Typography basically deals with the styles and appearance of text on a page
Angular Material consists of set of classes concern with style, size look and appearance of font/text
Angular material provides Typography levels which keeps the font/text size standardised/definite with font-face/family, font-size, font-weight and line-height
Material Typography classes (.mat-typography) mostly starts/prefixed with mat keyword. example: .mat-display-1, mat-h1, .mat-headline, .mat-title
Angular material mat-display-1 to mat-display-4 classes helps to set Typography heading levels (total 4 display levels - mainly used only once on a page for large headings)
By default, Angular Material doesn't apply any global CSS, the heading tags like <h1> to <h6> does not get any material styling. To get proper material styles heading tags we must be wrapped inside .mat-typography class. .mat-typography the class helps to use various HTML tags normally as this class styles all descendant/child native elements

Create a new angular component with angular/cli command:

ng generate component typography

or

ng g c typography

Write required markup inside typography.component.html and include this component in app.component.html as tag/element selector <typography-component></typography-component>

Syntax & Example: typography.component.html

Note:

Applying typography related classes to an individual elements is pretty time consuming and tedious, so the best practice/the better and also advisable way is that to apply mat-typography class to main parent container/element or at global level (The .mat-typography class helps to use various HTML tags normally as this class styles all descendant/child native elements)

Syntax & Example: typography.component.html
