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 −

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' import {FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule} from '@angular/forms'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, MatButtonModule,MatIconModule, FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule ], providers: [], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
Following is the content of the modified CSS file app.component.css.
.tp-button-row button, .tp-button-row a { margin-right: 8px; }
