This repository is used only for Angular Material v1.x library deployments and localized installs using `npm` and `bower`. The actual component source-code for this library is in the
[main Angular Material repository](https://github.com/angular/material).
> Please file issues and pull requests against that `angular/material` repository only. Do not file issues here on the deployment repository.
## Layouts and SCSS
Included in this repository are the:
* **[SCSS files](https://github.com/angular/bower-material/tree/master/modules/scss)** which are used to build the *.css files
* **[Layout files](https://github.com/angular/bower-material/tree/master/modules/layouts)** which are used with the Angular Material (Flexbox) Layout API.
> Note these are already included in the `angular-material.css` files. These copies are for direct developer access and contain IE flexbox fixes; as needed.
## Installing Angular Material
You can install this package locally either with `npm`, `jspm`, or `bower` (deprecated).
> Please note that Angular Material requires **Angular 1.3.x** or higher.
### npm
```shell
# To install latest formal release
npm install angular-material
# To install latest release and update package.json
npm install angular-material --save
# To install from HEAD of master
npm install http://github.com/angular/bower-material/tarball/master
# or use alternate syntax to install HEAD from master
npm install http://github.com/angular/bower-material#master --save
# note: ^^ creates the following package.json dependency
# "angular-material": "git+ssh://git@github.com/angular/bower-material.git#master"
# To install a v1.1.0-rc2 version
npm install http://github.com/angular/bower-material/tarball/v1.1.0-rc2 --save
# To view all installed package
npm list;
```
### jspm
```shell
# To install latest formal release
jspm install angular-material
# To install from HEAD of master
jspm install angular-material=github:angular/bower-material@master
# To view all installed package versions
jspm inspect
```
Now you can use `require('angular-material')` when installing with **npm** or **jspm**, or when using Browserify or Webpack.
### bower
```shell
# To get the latest stable version, use bower from the command line.
bower install angular-material
# To get the most recent, last committed-to-master version use:
bower install 'angular-material#master'
# To save the bower settings for future use:
bower install angular-material --save
# Later, you can use easily update with:
bower update
```
## Using the Angular Material Library
Now that you have installed the Angular libraries, simply include the scripts and
stylesheet in your main HTML file, in the order shown in the example below. Note that npm
will install the files under `/node_modules/angular-material/` and bower will install them
under `/bower_components/angular-material/`.
### npm
```html
```
### bower
```html
```
## Using the CDN
CDN versions of Angular Material are now available at
[Google Hosted Libraries](https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/devguide#angularmaterial).
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, Plunkr, or jsFiddle.
```html
```
> Note that the above sample references the 0.9.4 CDN release. Your version will change
based on the latest stable release version.
## Unit Testing with Angular Material
If you are using Angular Material and will be using Jasmine to test your own custom application code, you will need to also load two (2) Angular mock files:
* Angular Mocks - **angular-mocks.js** from `/node_modules/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js`
* Angular Material Mocks - **angular-material-mocks.js** from `/node_modules/angular-material/angular-material-mocks.js`
Shown below is a karma-configuration file (`karma.conf.js`) sample that may be a useful template for your own testing purposes:
