How to Use Angular Material?

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).

         href = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angular_material/1.0.0/angular-material.min.css">
      <script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
      <script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular-animate.min.js"></script>
      <script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular-aria.min.js"></script>
      <script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular-messages.min.js"></script>
      <script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angular_material/1.0.0/angular-material.min.js"></script>
      
      <script type = "text/javascript">    
         angular.module(''firstApplication'', [''ngMaterial'']);
      </script>
   </head>
   
   <body ng-app = "firstApplication" ng-cloak>
      <md-toolbar class = "md-warn">
         <div class = "md-toolbar-tools">
            <h2 class = "md-flex">HTML 5</h2>
         </div>
      </md-toolbar>
      
      <md-content flex layout-padding>
         <p>HTML5 is the next major revision of the HTML standard superseding HTML
         4.01, XHTML 1.0, and XHTML 1.1. HTML5 is a standard for structuring and
         presenting content on the World Wide Web.</p>
         
         <p>HTML5 is a cooperation between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and
         the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG).</p>
         
         <p>The new standard incorporates features like video playback and drag-and-drop
         that have been previously dependent on third-party browser plug-ins such as
         Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, and Google Gears.</p>
