Just as we ran the ng add @angular/fire command the Angular CLI will take you through the material setup by running the following command:
ng add @angular/material
Use the default suggestions by the CLI, so the result should look something like this:
ng add @angular/material
Generate the Layout Module
Once we have @angular/material installed, we can start building our layout components. Run the following command:
ng g m layout
Now let’s import the material’s components that we want to use, and edit the layout.module.ts file as follows:
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { MatButtonModule } from '@angular/material/button';
import { MatIconModule } from '@angular/material/icon';
import { MatListModule } from '@angular/material/list';
import { MatMenuModule } from '@angular/material/menu';
import { MatSidenavModule } from '@angular/material/sidenav';
import { MatSnackBarModule } from '@angular/material/snack-bar';
import { MatToolbarModule } from '@angular/material/toolbar';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
@NgModule({
declarations: [],
imports: [
CommonModule,
MatSnackBarModule,
MatMenuModule,
MatListModule,
MatSidenavModule,
MatToolbarModule,
MatButtonModule,
MatIconModule,
],
})
export class LayoutModule {}
Create Angular Material Navbar Component
Use the Angular CLI to generate a new component named `navbar`.
ng g c --skip-tests=true layout/navbar
Before we start editing our navbar component, on the layout/layout.module.ts file, right after the imports array, add the exports array with navbar components:
The rest of the Protests Map application code can be found on the GitHub repository. Most of the things are just other components similar to what we have already seen through this tutorial, there is one exception which is the icon registry, a class that enables the usage of custom SVG icons inside the <mat-icon> tag.
It is true that Angular, compare to other frontend libraries/frameworks, has a greater learning curve. But it comes also with the fact that Angular is more than a library. You can build a whole MVP application using the Angular framework and its official APIs.
