Angular Material 7 - Toggle Button
The <mat-button-toggle>, an Angular Directive, is used to create a toggle or on/off button with material stypng and animations. mat-button-toggle buttons can be configured to behave as radio buttons or checkboxes. Typically they are part of <mat-button-toggle-group>.
In this chapter, we will showcase the configuration required to draw a button toggle control using Angular Material.
Create Angular Apppcation
Follow the following steps to update the Angular apppcation 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 apppcation 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 {MatButtonToggleModule, MatIconModule} from @angular/material import {FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule} from @angular/forms ; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, MatButtonToggleModule, MatIconModule, FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule ], providers: [], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
Following is the content of the modified CSS file app.component.css.
.tp-selected-value { margin: 15px 0; }
Following is the content of the modified HTML host file app.component.html.
<mat-button-toggle-group #group = "matButtonToggleGroup"> <mat-button-toggle value = "left"> <mat-icon>format_apgn_left</mat-icon> </mat-button-toggle> <mat-button-toggle value = "center"> <mat-icon>format_apgn_center</mat-icon> </mat-button-toggle> <mat-button-toggle value = "right"> <mat-icon>format_apgn_right</mat-icon> </mat-button-toggle> <mat-button-toggle value = "justify" disabled> <mat-icon>format_apgn_justify</mat-icon> </mat-button-toggle> </mat-button-toggle-group> <span class = "tp-selected-value">Selected value: {{group.value}}</span>
