How can you integrate Angular Material in an Angular 2 Project?

Question

I have an angular 2 project that I've created through Angular CLI. I have followed the instruction on the get started guide on the Angular Material website: https://material.angular.io/guide/getting-started. When I try to use the md-side nav tags, I still do not see the website themed with Angular Material.

My component code:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'app works!';


}

Here is my component html code:

<md-sidenav-container>
  <md-sidenav>
    <!-- sidenav content -->
  </md-sidenav>

  <!-- primary content -->
</md-sidenav-container>

My app.module.ts:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import {RouterModule} from '@angular/router';
import {BrowserAnimationsModule} from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import {MdButtonModule, MdCheckboxModule} from '@angular/material';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { QuillEditorComponent } from './quill-editor/quill-editor.component';
import { LoginScreenComponent } from './login-screen/login-screen.component';
import { WelcomeScreenComponent } from './welcome-screen/welcome-screen.component';
import { PageNotFoundComponent } from './page-not-found/page-not-found.component';
import 'hammerjs';


@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    QuillEditorComponent,
    LoginScreenComponent,
    WelcomeScreenComponent,
    PageNotFoundComponent,



  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    MdButtonModule, 
    MdCheckboxModule,
    RouterModule.forRoot([
      {path: 'welcome', component: WelcomeScreenComponent},
      {path: 'login', component: LoginScreenComponent},
      {path: '', redirectTo: 'welcome', pathMatch: 'full'},
      {path: '**', component: PageNotFoundComponent},

    ]),

  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Are you getting any compiler/console error? Also, your sidenav had no content and most probably not open either. To see something add some content + add a button to open the sidenav — Nehal, Jul 18 '17 at 23:24
@Jota.Toledo In other words, `import {MdSidenavModule} from '@angular/material` and placing it in `imports` array. — Edric, Jul 19 '17 at 07:54
you also need to import a material theme into your app css, eg. @import "~@angular/material/prebuilt-themes/indigo-pink.css"; — glendaviesnz, Jul 19 '17 at 07:54
Just tried the Material example, it works now. thanks for your help — Farhan Islam, Jul 19 '17 at 18:59

Update your environment

ng update @angular/cli @angular/core

Then add material to your project

ng add @angular/material

This will install angular/material and will also do basic configuration needed to make it work.
