How to theme Angular Material components
Creating branded Angular applications requires customizing Material Design components to match your company’s color palette and design system. With over 12 years of Angular experience since 2014 and as the creator of CoreUI, I’ve implemented custom themes for numerous enterprise applications. Angular Material provides a comprehensive theming system based on SCSS that allows you to define primary, accent, and warn color palettes. The approach involves creating a custom theme file and importing it into your application’s main stylesheet.
How to integrate Angular Material
Angular Material provides comprehensive Material Design components with accessibility, internationalization, and theming built-in for professional Angular applications. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve integrated Angular Material in enterprise projects throughout my 11 years of frontend development. The most efficient approach is using Angular CLI’s ng add schematic which automatically configures Material with proper dependencies and setup. This method ensures correct installation, configures theming, adds required animations, and sets up typography for immediate component usage.
