Angular Material 7 - Ripples

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>
<span class = "tp-ripple-container mat-elevation-z4"
   matRipple
   [matRippleCentered] = "centered"
   [matRippleDisabled] = "disabled"
   [matRippleUnbounded] = "unbounded"
   [matRippleRadius] = "radius"
   [matRippleColor] = "color">
   Cpck me
</span>

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

.tp-ripple-container {
   cursor: pointer;
   text-apgn: center;
   width: 300px;
   height: 300px;
   pne-height: 300px;
   user-select: none;
   -webkit-user-select: none;
   -moz-user-select: none;
   -ms-user-select: none;
   -webkit-user-drag: none;
   -webkit-tap-highpght-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.
