Angular Material is a UI component library for Angular JS developers. Angular Material's
reusable UI components help in constructing attractive, consistent, and functional web pages
and web applications while adhering to modern web design principles like browser portability,
device independence, and graceful degradation.
Following are a few salient features of Angular Material:
 In-built responsive designing.
 Standard CSS with minimal footprint.
 Includes new versions of common user interface controls such as buttons, check boxes,
and text fields which are adapted to follow Material Design concepts.
 Includes enhanced and specialized features like cards, toolbar, speed dial, side nav,
swipe, and so on.
 Cross-browser, and can be used to create reusable web components.
Responsive Design
 Angular Material has in-built responsive designing so that the website created using
Angular Material will redesign itself as per the device size.
 Angular Material classes are created in such a way that the website can fit any screen
size.
 The websites created using Angular Material are fully compatible with PC, tablets, and
mobile devices.
Extensible
 Angular Material is by design very minimal and flat.
 It is designed considering the fact that it is much easier to add new CSS rules than to
overwrite existing CSS rules.
 It supports shadows and bold colors.
 The colors and shades remain uniform across various platforms and devices.
And most important of all, Angular Material is absolutely free to use.

HowtoUseAngularMaterial?
There are two ways to use Angular Material:
 Local Installation - You can download the Angular Material libraries using npm, jspm,
or bower on your local machine and include it in your HTML code.
 CDN Based Version - You can include the angular-material.min.css and angular-
material js files into your HTML code directly from the Content Delivery Network (CDN).
LocalInstallation
Befor we use the following npm command, we require the NodeJS installation on our system.
To get information about node JS, click here and open the NodeJS command line interface.
We will use the following command to install Angular Material libraries.
npm install angular-material
The above command will generate the following output −
angular-animate@1.5.2 node_modulesangular-animate
angular-aria@1.5.2 node_modulesangular-aria
angular-messages@1.5.2 node_modulesangular-messages
angular@1.5.2 node_modulesangular
angular-material@1.0.6 node_modulesangular-material
npm will download the files under node_modules > angular-material folder. Include the
files as explained in the following example −
Example
Now you can include the css and js file in your HTML file as follows −
<html lang="en" >

CDNBasedVersion
You can include the angular-material.css and angular-material.js files into your HTML
code directly from the Content Delivery Network (CDN). Google CDN provides content for the
latest version.
We are using the Google CDN version of the library throughout this tutorial.
Example
Now let us rewrite the above example using angular-material.min.css and angular-
material.min.js from Google CDN.
<html lang="en" >

The md-autocomplete, an Angular Directive, is used as a special input control with an inbuilt
dropdown to show all possible matches to a custom query. This control acts as a real-time
suggestion box as soon as the user types in the input area. <md-autocomplete> can be
used to provide search results from local or remote data sources. md-autocomplete caches
results when performing a query. After first call, it uses the cached results to eliminate
unnecessary server requests or lookup logic and it can be disabled.

autocomplete.
