Material Design for AngularJS Apps
Material Design is a specification for a
unified system of visual, motion, and interaction design that adapts across different devices. Our
goal is to deliver a lean, lightweight set of AngularJS-native UI elements that implement the
material design specification for use in AngularJS single-page applications (SPAs).
AngularJS Material is an implementation of Google's
Material Design Specification (2014-2017)
for AngularJS (v1.x) developers.
For an implementation of the Material Design Specification (2018+),
please see the Angular Material project which is built for
Angular (v2+) developers.

Building
Developers can build AngularJS Material using NPM and gulp.
First install or update your local project's npm dependencies:
npm install
Install Gulp v3 globally:
npm install -g gulp@3
Then run the gulp tasks:
# To build `angular-material.js/.css` and `Theme` files in the `/dist` directory
gulp build
# To build the AngularJS Material Docs and Demos in `/dist/docs` directory
gulp docs
For development, use the docs:watch NPM script to run in dev mode:
# To build the AngularJS Material Source, Docs, and Demos in watch mode
npm run docs:watch
For more details on how the build process works and additional commands (available for testing and
debugging) developers should read the Build Guide.
Installing Build (Distribution Files)
NPM
For developers not interested in building the AngularJS Material library... use NPM to install
and use the AngularJS Material distribution files.
Change to your project's root directory.
# To get the latest stable version, use NPM from the command line.
npm install angular-material --save
# To get the most recent, latest committed-to-master version use:
npm install http://github.com/angular/bower-material#master --save
Other Dependency Managers
Visit our distribution repository
for more details on how to install and use the AngularJS Material distribution files within your local
project.
CDN
CDN versions of AngularJS Material are available.
With the Google CDN, you will not need to download local copies of the distribution files. Instead,
simply reference the CDN urls to easily use those remote library files. This is especially useful
when using online tools such as CodePen or Plunker.
