Example 1: Basic Material Input Box

Here, we will create very simple example. first we need to import MatInputModule for mat-form-field material design. so let's update app.module.ts, app.component.ts and app.component.html.

Let's follow step:

src/app/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 {MatInputModule} from '@angular/material/input';
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    MatInputModule,
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

src/app/app.component.html

<h4>Angular Input Box Example</h4>
<mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
    <mat-label>Name</mat-label>
    <input matInput placeholder="Ex. Hardik" value="Hardik">
</mat-form-field>
  
<mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
    <mat-label>Email</mat-label>
    <input matInput placeholder="Ex. ex@example.com">
</mat-form-field>

Example 2: Material Input Box with Reactive Form

Here, we will create very simple example using reactive form. first we need to import MatInputModule, MatButtonModule, FormsModule and ReactiveFormsModule for mat-form-field material design. so let's update app.module.ts, app.component.ts and app.component.html.

Let's follow step:

src/app/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 { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import {MatInputModule} from '@angular/material/input';
import {MatButtonModule} from '@angular/material/button';
  
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    FormsModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
    MatInputModule,
    MatButtonModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

src/app/app.component.html

<h1>Angular Material Input Box Example - ItSolutionStuff.com</h1>
  
<form [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="submit()">
  
  <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
      <mat-label>Name</mat-label>
      <input matInput placeholder="Ex. Hardik" formControlName="name">
      <mat-error *ngIf="form.get('name').hasError('required')">
        Name Field is required
      </mat-error>
  </mat-form-field>
   
  <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
      <mat-label>Email</mat-label>
      <input matInput placeholder="Ex. ex@example.com" formControlName="email">
      <mat-error *ngIf="form.get('email').hasError('required')">
        Email Field is required
      </mat-error>
      <mat-error *ngIf="form.get('email').hasError('email')">
        Must be enter valid email
      </mat-error>
  </mat-form-field>
   
  <button mat-raised-button color="accent">Submit</button>
</form>

src/app/app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
  
import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, Validators} from '@angular/forms';
  
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'app-material2';
  
  form: FormGroup = new FormGroup({});
   
  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
  
    this.form = fb.group({
      name: ['', [Validators.required]],
      email: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.email]],
    })
  }
    
  get f(){
    return this.form.controls;
  }
   
  submit(){
    console.log(this.form.value);
  }
}

You can easily run by following command:

ng serve

I hope it can help you...
