@lpi/angular-material

This repository is used for publishing the AngularJS Material v1.x library and localized installs using npm. The component source-code for this library is in the AngularJS Material repository.

Please file issues and pull requests against that angular/material repository only. Do not file issues here on the deployment repository.

Layouts and SCSS

Included in this repository are the:

SCSS files which are used to build the *.css files
Layout files which are used with the AngularJS Material (Flexbox) Layout API.

Note these are already included in the angular-material.css files. These copies are for direct developer access and contain IE flexbox fixes; as needed.

Installing AngularJS Material

You can install this package locally either with npm, jspm, or bower (deprecated).

Please note: AngularJS Material requires AngularJS 1.4.x to AngularJS 1.7.x.

Please note: AngularJS Material does not support AngularJS 1.7.1.

npm

# To install latest formal release 
npm install angular-material

# To install latest release and update package.json
npm install angular-material --save

# To install from HEAD of master
npm install http://github.com/angular/bower-material/tarball/master

# or use alternate syntax to install HEAD from master
npm install http://github.com/angular/bower-material#master --save
# note: ^^ creates the following package.json dependency
#      "angular-material": "git+ssh://git@github.com/angular/bower-material.git#master"


# To install a v1.1.9 version 
npm install http://github.com/angular/bower-material/tarball/v1.1.9 --save

# To view all installed package 
npm list;

jspm

# To install latest formal release
jspm install angular-material

# To install from HEAD of master
jspm install angular-material=github:angular/bower-material@master

# To view all installed package versions
jspm inspect

Now you can use require('angular-material') when installing with npm or jspm, or when using Browserify or Webpack.

bower

# To get the latest stable version, use bower from the command line.
bower install angular-material

# To get the most recent, last committed-to-master version use:
bower install 'angular-material#master'

# To save the bower settings for future use:
bower install angular-material --save

# Later, you can use easily update with:
bower update

Using the AngularJS Material Library

Now that you have installed the AngularJS libraries, simply include the scripts and stylesheet in your main HTML file, in the order shown in the example below. Note that NPM will install the files under /node_modules/angular-material/ and Bower will install them under /bower_components/angular-material/.

npm

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/node_modules/angular-material/angular-material.css">
</head>
  <body ng-app="YourApp">
  <div ng-controller="YourController">

  </div>

  <script src="/node_modules/angular/angular.js"></script>
  <script src="/node_modules/angular-aria/angular-aria.js"></script>
  <script src="/node_modules/angular-animate/angular-animate.js"></script>
  <script src="/node_modules/angular-messages/angular-messages.js"></script>
  <script src="/node_modules/angular-material/angular-material.js"></script>
  <script>
    // Include app dependency on ngMaterial
    angular.module('YourApp', ['ngMaterial', 'ngMessages'])
      .controller("YourController", YourController);
  </script>
</body>
</html>

bower

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/bower_components/angular-material/angular-material.css">
</head>
  <body ng-app="YourApp">
  <div ng-controller="YourController">

  </div>

  <script src="/bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
  <script src="/bower_components/angular-aria/angular-aria.js"></script>
  <script src="/bower_components/angular-animate/angular-animate.js"></script>
  <script src="/bower_components/angular-messages/angular-messages.js"></script>
  <script src="/bower_components/angular-material/angular-material.js"></script>
  <script>
    // Include app dependency on ngMaterial
    angular.module('YourApp', ['ngMaterial', 'ngMessages'])
      .controller("YourController", YourController);
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Using the CDN

With the Google CDN, you will not need to download local copies of the distribution files. Instead simply reference the CDN urls to easily use those remote library files. This is especially useful when using online tools such as CodePen, Plunker, or jsFiddle.

<head>
    <!-- Angular Material CSS now available via Google CDN; version 1.1.9 used here -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angular_material/1.1.9/angular-material.min.css">
</head>
<body>

    <!-- Angular Material Dependencies -->
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.7.2/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.7.2/angular-animate.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.7.2/angular-aria.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.7.2/angular-messages.min.js"></script>
    
    <!-- Angular Material Javascript now available via Google CDN; version 1.1.9 used here -->
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angular_material/1.1.9/angular-material.min.js"></script>
</body>

Note that the above sample references the 1.1.9 CDN release. Your version will change based on the latest stable release version.

Unit Testing with Angular Material

If you are using Angular Material and will be using Jasmine to test your own custom application code, you will need to also load two (2) Angular mock files:

Angular Mocks
- angular-mocks.js from /node_modules/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js
Angular Material Mocks
- angular-material-mocks.js from /node_modules/angular-material/angular-material-mocks.js

Shown below is a karma-configuration file (karma.conf.js) sample that may be a useful template for your own testing purposes:

module.exports = function(config) {

  var SRC = [
    'src/myApp/**/*.js',
    'test/myApp/**/*.spec.js'
  ];

  var LIBS = [
    'node_modules/angular/angular.js',
    'node_modules/angular-animate/angular-animate.js',
    'node_modules/angular-aria/angular-aria.js',
    'node_modules/angular-messages/angular-messages.js',
    'node_modules/angular-material/angular-material.js',
    
    'node_modules/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js',
    'node_modules/angular-material/angular-material-mocks.js'
  ];

  config.set({
    basePath: __dirname + '/..',
    frameworks: ['jasmine'],
    
    files: LIBS.concat(SRC),

    port: 9876,
    reporters: ['progress'],
    colors: true,

    autoWatch: false,
    singleRun: true,
    browsers: ['Chrome']
  });
};
