Why ng2-materialize?

The main purpose of this library is to simplify the usage of Materialize within the Angular framework which make it more dynamic. To illustrate this, we have Playground sections in several component demo pages.

In other words, we ...

- Simplify components usage
- Initialize components automatically
- Handle Angular "quirks" with Materialize library
- Offer component injection when possible
- Provide a MediaService that allow customization according to view port size
- Add support for ReactiveForm with validation

Installation

The following commands will add Ng2-Materialize library to your package.json file along with its dependencies: Materialize CSS and jQuery.

``
npm install --save ng2-materialize
`

Don't forget to include Materialize and jQuery in your application.

If you are using Angular-CLI you can follow the example below :

#### .angular-cli.json

`diff
"styles": [
"styles.scss",
+ "../node_modules/materialize-css/dist/css/materialize.min.css"
],
"scripts": [
+ "../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
+ "../node_modules/materialize-css/dist/js/materialize.min.js"
],
`

#### tsconfig

`diff
{
"compilerOptions": {
"sourceMap": true,
"declaration": false,
"moduleResolution": "node",
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"lib": [
"es2016",
"dom"
],
"outDir": "../out-tsc/app",
"target": "es5",
"module": "es2015",
"baseUrl": "",
"types": [
+ "jquery",
+ "materialize-css"
]
},
"exclude": [
"test.ts",
"*/.spec.ts"
]
}
`

Icons

Ng2-materialize offers two "out-of-the-box" options for icons although you are free to use the library of your choice.

$3

To use Material Design Icons (community project based on Google Material Icons with lots of added icons), which is used with mz-icon-mdi directive, you will need to add the library with the following command:

`
npm install --save mdi
`

Don't forget to include Mdi library to your application.

If you are using Angular-CLI you can follow the example below :

#### .angular-cli.json

`diff
"styles": [
"styles.scss",
"../node_modules/materialize-css/dist/css/materialize.min.css",
+ "../node_modules/mdi/css/materialdesignicons.min.css"
],
`

$3

To use Material Icons (official Google Material Icons library), which is used with mz-icon directive, you will need to add the following into the tag of your index.html file:

`html

`

Animation

Some components are using advance animation transition. You need to install @angular/animations and include BrowserAnimationsModule if you want those animation to work.

`
npm install --save @angular/animations
`
`diff
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
+ import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

import { AppModule } from './app.module';

@NgModule({
imports: [
+ BrowserAnimationsModule,
],
})
export class AppModule { }
`

If you don't want to install a new dependency in your application, you can include NoopAnimationsModule.
`diff
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
+ import { NoopAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

import { AppModule } from './app.module';

@NgModule({
imports: [
+ NoopAnimationsModule,
],
})
export class AppModule { }
`

Usage

You must import component module you want to use inside your module to be able to use Materialize components.

`diff
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
+ import { MzButtonModule, MzInputModule } from 'ng2-materialize';

import { HomeComponent } from './home.component';

@NgModule({
imports: [
CommonModule,
+ MzButtonModule,
+ MzInputModule,
],
declarations: [ HomeComponent ],
})
export class HomeModule { }
`

$3

We will continue to maintain this module for a period of time to allow you to migrate your existing components to the new way.
We recommend to use the new component modules when you are building new component/application.

If you still want to import only one module, you can create a separate NgModule in your application that imports all the ng2-materialize components. You will be able to include this module anywhere you like to use the components.

`
import { MzInputModule, MzValidationModule } from 'ng2-materialize';

@NgModule({
imports: [
MzInputModule,
MzValidationModule,
],
exports: [
MzInputModule,
MzValidationModule,
],
})
export class CustomMaterializeModule { }
`

Demo application

A demo application is available at https://sherweb.github.io/ng2-materialize/, or refer to the ./demo-app` folder and its README.

Road map

We (at SherWeb) are currently wrapping the components as we need them, and unfortunately, we cannot provide a specific road map.

If some components are missing, feel free to contribute.

Contribute

Contributions are always welcome.

Make sure that :
- Your code style matches with the rest of the project
- Unit tests pass
- Linter passes

And you are ready to go!
