The <mat-button>, an Angular Directive, is used to create a button with material styling and animations.
In this chapter, we will showcase the configuration required to draw a button control using Angular Material.
Follow the following steps to update the Angular application we created in Angular 6 - Project Setup chapter −
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Create a project with a name materialApp as explained in the Angular 6 - Project Setup chapter. |
| 2 | Modify app.module.ts, app.component.ts, app.component.css and app.component.html as explained below. Keep rest of the files unchanged. |
| 3 | Compile and run the application to verify the result of the implemented logic. |
Following is the content of the modified module descriptor app.module.ts.
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import {BrowserAnimationsModule} from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import {MatButtonModule,MatIconModule} from '@angular/material'
