The <mat-ripple>, an Angular Directive, is used to define an area depicting the user interaction.

In this chapter, we will showcase the configuration required to draw a ripple effect using Angular Material.

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 {MatRippleModule, MatCheckboxModule, MatInputModule} from ''@angular/material''
import {FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule} from ''@angular/forms'';
@NgModule({
   declarations: [
      AppComponent
   ],
   imports: [
      BrowserModule,
      BrowserAnimationsModule,
      MatRippleModule, MatCheckboxModule, MatInputModule,
      FormsModule,
      ReactiveFormsModule
   ],
   providers: [],
   bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Following is the content of the modified HTML host file app.component.html.

<mat-checkbox [(ngModel)] = "centered" class = "tp-ripple-checkbox">Centered</mat-checkbox>
<mat-checkbox [(ngModel)] = "disabled" class = "tp-ripple-checkbox">Disabled</mat-checkbox>
<mat-checkbox [(ngModel)] = "unbounded" class = "tp-ripple-checkbox">Unbounded</mat-checkbox>
<section>
   <mat-form-field class = "tp-ripple-form-field">
      <input matInput [(ngModel)] = "radius" type = "number" placeholder = "Radius">
   </mat-form-field>
   <mat-form-field class = "tp-ripple-form-field">
      <input matInput [(ngModel)] = "color" type = "text" placeholder = "Color">
   </mat-form-field>
</section>
<div class = "tp-ripple-container mat-elevation-z4"
   matRipple
   [matRippleCentered] = "centered"
   [matRippleDisabled] = "disabled"
   [matRippleUnbounded] = "unbounded"
   [matRippleRadius] = "radius"
   [matRippleColor] = "color">
   Click me
</div>

Following is the content of the modified CSS file app.component.css.

.tp-ripple-container {
   cursor: pointer;
   text-align: center;
   width: 300px;
   height: 300px;
   line-height: 300px;
   user-select: none;
   -webkit-user-select: none;
   -moz-user-select: none;
   -ms-user-select: none;
   -webkit-user-drag: none;
   -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
}
.tp-ripple-checkbox {
   margin: 6px 12px 6px 0;
}
.tp-ripple-form-field {
   margin: 0 12px 0 0;
}

Following is the content of the modified ts file app.component.ts.

import { Component } from ''@angular/core'';
@Component({
   selector: ''app-root'',
   templateUrl: ''./app.component.html'',
   styleUrls: [''./app.component.css'']
})
export class AppComponent {
   title = ''materialApp''; 
   centered = false;
   disabled = false;
   unbounded = false;
   radius: number;
   color: string;
}

Result

Verify the result.

Details

• As first, we”ve created check boxes using mat-checkbox and bind them using ngModel with variables. These properties will be used to customize the ripple.

• Then, we”ve created the ripple and showcased its various attributes bound with variables in .ts file.
