How to import Angular Material in project?

If you want to import all Material modules, create your own module i.e. material.module.ts and do something like the following:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import * as MATERIAL_MODULES from '@angular/material';

export function mapMaterialModules() {
  return Object.keys(MATERIAL_MODULES).filter((k) => {
    let asset = MATERIAL_MODULES[k];
    return typeof asset == 'function'
      && asset.name.startsWith('Mat')
      && asset.name.includes('Module');
  }).map((k) => MATERIAL_MODULES[k]);
}
const modules = mapMaterialModules();

@NgModule({
    imports: modules,
    exports: modules
})
export class MaterialModule { }

Then import the module into your app.module.ts


Import all Angular Material modules in Angular 9.

Create material.module.ts file in your_project/src/app/ directory and paste this code.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';


import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { MatCheckboxModule } from '@angular/material/checkbox';
import { MatButtonModule } from '@angular/material/button';
import { MatInputModule } from '@angular/material/input';

import { MatListModule } from '@angular/material/list';
import { MatGridListModule } from '@angular/material/grid-list';
import { MatCardModule } from '@angular/material/card';
import { MatStepperModule } from '@angular/material/stepper';
import { MatTabsModule } from '@angular/material/tabs';
import { MatExpansionModule } from '@angular/material/expansion';
import { MatButtonToggleModule } from '@angular/material/button-toggle';
import { MatChipsModule } from '@angular/material/chips';
import { MatIconModule } from '@angular/material/icon';
import { MatProgressSpinnerModule } from '@angular/material/progress-spinner';

import { MatPaginatorModule } from '@angular/material/paginator';


@NgModule( {
    imports: [
        CommonModule,
        BrowserAnimationsModule,
        MatCheckboxModule,
        MatCheckboxModule,
        MatButtonModule,
        MatInputModule,
        MatAutocompleteModule,
        MatDatepickerModule,
        MatFormFieldModule,
        MatRadioModule,
        MatSelectModule,
        MatSliderModule,
        MatSlideToggleModule,
        MatMenuModule,
        MatSidenavModule,
        MatBadgeModule,
        MatToolbarModule,
        MatListModule,
        MatGridListModule,
        MatCardModule,
        MatStepperModule,
        MatTabsModule,
        MatExpansionModule,
        MatButtonToggleModule,
        MatChipsModule,
        MatIconModule,
        MatProgressSpinnerModule,
        MatProgressBarModule,
        MatDialogModule,
        MatTooltipModule,
        MatSnackBarModule,
        MatTableModule,
        MatSortModule,
        MatPaginatorModule

    ],
    exports: [
        MatButtonModule,
        MatToolbarModule,
        MatIconModule,
        MatSidenavModule,
        MatBadgeModule,
        MatListModule,
        MatGridListModule,
        MatInputModule,
        MatFormFieldModule,
        MatSelectModule,
        MatRadioModule,
        MatDatepickerModule,
        MatChipsModule,
        MatTooltipModule,
        MatTableModule,
        MatPaginatorModule
    ],
    providers: [
        MatDatepickerModule,
    ]
} )

export class AngularMaterialModule { }

UPDATE for Angular 9.0.1

Since this version there is no barrel file for massive exports in the root index.d.ts. The assets imports should be:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { MatCardModule } from '@angular/material/card';
import { MatButtonModule} from '@angular/material/button';
import { MatMenuModule } from '@angular/material/menu';
import { MatToolbarModule } from '@angular/material/toolbar';
import { MatIconModule } from '@angular/material/icon';

import {
  MatButtonModule,
  MatMenuModule,
  MatToolbarModule,
  MatIconModule,
  MatCardModule
} from '@angular/material';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    MatButtonModule,
    MatMenuModule,
    MatToolbarModule,
    MatIconModule,
    MatCardModule
  ],
  exports: [
    MatButtonModule,
    MatMenuModule,
    MatToolbarModule,
    MatIconModule,
    MatCardModule
  ]
})
export class MaterialModule {}

source: @angular/material/index.d.ts' is not a module


MaterialModule was depreciated in version 2.0.0-beta.3 and it has been removed completely in version 2.0.0-beta.11. See this CHANGELOG for more details. Please go through the breaking changes.

Breaking changes

  • Angular Material now requires Angular 4.4.3 or greater
  • MaterialModule has been removed.
  • For beta.11, we've made the decision to deprecate the "md" prefix completely and use "mat" moving forward.

Please go through CHANGELOG we will get more answer!

Example shown below cmd

npm install --save @angular/material @angular/animations @angular/cdk
npm install --save angular/material2-builds angular/cdk-builds

Create file (material.module.ts) inside the 'app' folder

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import {
  MatButtonModule,
  MatMenuModule,
  MatToolbarModule,
  MatIconModule,
  MatCardModule
} from '@angular/material';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    MatButtonModule,
    MatMenuModule,
    MatToolbarModule,
    MatIconModule,
    MatCardModule
  ],
  exports: [
    MatButtonModule,
    MatMenuModule,
    MatToolbarModule,
    MatIconModule,
    MatCardModule
  ]
})
export class MaterialModule {}

import on app.module.ts

import { MaterialModule } from './material.module';

Your component html file

<div>
  <mat-toolbar color="primary">
    <span><mat-icon>mood</mat-icon></span>

    <span>Yay, Material in Angular 2!</span>

    <button mat-icon-button [mat-menu-trigger-for]="menu">
      <mat-icon>more_vert</mat-icon>
    </button>
  </mat-toolbar>
  <mat-menu x-position="before" #menu="matMenu">
    <button mat-menu-item>Option 1</button>
    <button mat-menu-item>Option 2</button>
  </mat-menu>

  <mat-card>
    <button mat-button>All</button>
    <button mat-raised-button>Of</button>
    <button mat-raised-button color="primary">The</button>
    <button mat-raised-button color="accent">Buttons</button>
  </mat-card>

  <span class="done">
    <button mat-fab>
      <mat-icon>check circle</mat-icon>
    </button>
  </span>
</div>

Add global css 'style.css'

@import 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons';
@import '~@angular/material/prebuilt-themes/indigo-pink.css'; 

Your component css

body {
  margin: 0;
  font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;
}

mat-card {
  max-width: 80%;
  margin: 2em auto;
  text-align: center;
}

mat-toolbar-row {
  justify-content: space-between;
}

.done {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 20px;
  right: 20px;
  color: white;
}

If any one didn't get output use below instruction

instead of above interface (material.module.ts) u can directly use below code also in the app.module.ts.

import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { MdButtonModule, MdCardModule, MdMenuModule, MdToolbarModule, MdIconModule, MatAutocompleteModule, MatInputModule,MatFormFieldModule } from '@angular/material';

So this case u don't want to import

import { MaterialModule } from './material.module';

in the app.module.ts
