The <mat-grid-list>, an Angular Directive, is used to create a two dimensional view arranging cells into grid based layout.
In this chapter, we will showcase the configuration required to draw a grid list control using Angular Material.
Follow the following steps to update the Angular application we created in Angular 6 - Project Setup chapter −
Step | Description |
---|---|
1 | Create a project with a name materialApp as explained in the 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 {MatGridListModule} from '@angular/material' import {FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule} from '@angular/forms'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, MatGridListModule, FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule ], providers: [], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
Following is the content of the modified CSS file app.component.css.
mat-grid-tile { background: lightblue; }
Following is the content of the modified HTML host file app.component.html.
<mat-grid-list cols = "4" rowHeight = "100px"> <mat-grid-tile [colspan] = "3" [rowspan] = "1">1 </mat-grid-tile> <mat-grid-tile [colspan] = "1" [rowspan] = "2">2 </mat-grid-tile> <mat-grid-tile [colspan] = "1" [rowspan] = "1">3 </mat-grid-tile> <mat-grid-tile [colspan] = "2" [rowspan] = "1">4 </mat-grid-tile> </mat-grid-list>
Verify the result.
