Angular Material Integration with Analog

This tutorial will guide you through the process of integrating the Angular Material library within your Analog application.

Step 1: Installing the Angular Material library​

To begin, you need to install the @angular/cdk and @angular/material packages. Depending on your preferred package manager, run one of the following commands:

npm install @angular/cdk @angular/material

Step 2: Configuring the Angular Material library​

  1. Rename the file styles.css to styles.scss.
  2. Set the inlineStylesExtension property to 'scss' in the vite.config.ts file:
export default defineConfig(({ mode }) => {
  return {
    plugins: [
      analog({
        vite: {
          inlineStylesExtension: 'scss',
        },
      }),
    ],
  };
});
  1. Update the index.html file to reference the SCSS file:
<head>
  <!-- other headers -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/src/styles.scss" />
  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" />
  <link
    href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@300;400;500&display=swap"
    rel="stylesheet"
  />
  <link
    href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons"
    rel="stylesheet"
  />
</head>
<body class="mat-typography">
  <!-- content -->
</body>
  1. Update the styles.scss file to import the Angular Material styles and define your custom theme:
@use '@angular/material' as mat;

$theme: mat.define-theme(
  (
    color: (
      theme-type: light,
      primary: mat.$azure-palette,
      tertiary: mat.$blue-palette,
    ),
  )
);

body {
  @include mat.all-component-themes($theme);
  font-family: Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 30px;
  height: 100%;
}

html {
  height: 100%;
}

@include mat.core();
@include mat.color-variants-backwards-compatibility($theme);

Optional Step: Configuring Animations​

If you want to activate or deactivate animations where needed, follow the correspondent steps:

  1. Open the app.config.ts file and add provideAnimations() as a provider
providers: [
  // other providers
  provideAnimations(),
],
  1. Open the app.config.server.ts file and add provideNoopAnimations() as a provider
providers: [
  // other providers
  provideNoopAnimations(),
],

With these steps, you have configured animations to be enabled on the client and disabled on the server in your Analog application.

That's it! You have successfully installed and configured the Angular Material library for your Analog application. You can now start utilizing the Angular Material components and styles in your project.
