ng2-materialize

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 it dependencies: Materialize CSS, jQuery and Mdi (Mdi icons library is optional as your are free to use the icon library of your choice).

npm install --save ng2-materialize
npm install --save mdi    #optional

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

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

.angular-cli.json

"styles": [
  "styles.scss",
+ "../node_modules/materialize-css/dist/css/materialize.min.css",
+ "../node_modules/mdi/css/materialdesignicons.min.css"   #optional
],
"scripts": [
+ "../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
+ "../node_modules/materialize-css/dist/js/materialize.min.js"
],

tsconfig

{
  "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"
  ]
}

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

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.

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.

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 { }

MaterializeModule deprecated

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 { }
