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. |
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 {MatInputModule} from ''@angular/material'' import {FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule} from ''@angular/forms''; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, MatInputModule, FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule ], providers: [], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
Following is the content of the modified CSS file app.component.css.
.tp-form { min-width: 150px; max-width: 500px; width: 100%; } .tp-full-width { width: 100%; }
Following is the content of the modified ts file app.component.ts.
import { Component } from ''@angular/core''; import { FormControl } from "@angular/forms"; import {Validators} from ''@angular/forms''; @Component({ selector: ''app-root'', templateUrl: ''./app.component.html'', styleUrls: [''./app.component.css''] }) export class AppComponent { title = ''materialApp''; emailFormControl = new FormControl('''', [ Validators.required, Validators.email, ]); }
