The <mat-menu>, an Angular Directive, is used to create a menu and attach it with a control with material design styling and animation capabilities.
In this chapter, we will showcase the configuration required to draw a menu control using Angular Material.
Create Angular Application
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. |
