API reference for Angular Material form-field incorrect (mat-form-field)

[mattiLeBlanc]

Hi,

I was implementing my form and I was looking at the docs (https://material.angular.io/components/form-field/api) and here the mention mat-form-field instead of md-form-field.
I think this might have been old version since I believe a the prefixes are md at the moment.

[mattiLeBlanc]

oops, It's actually the other way around...the prefix seems to have been updated to mat. I just updated to Material ^2.0.0-beta.12.
However, the rest of the documentation is still referring to md prefixes.
This is kind off a breaking change, isn't it???

The deprecation of the md- prefix was in the release notes for beta.11. There's also a tool to help you migrate to the mat- prefix. There shouldn't be any documentation left that refers to the md- prefix either.

Mate, I see md prefixes everywhere in the docs.

[crisbeto]

I see what you mean. The docs were definitely updated (see https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/src/lib/input/input.md), but it seems like they're being cached pretty aggressively. I get the md- docs in my usual browser session and mat- in private mode.

[mattiLeBlanc]

pretty aggressive yep. I am having dev toolbar open with disable cache and still get the md-prefix. Only on the MatFormFieldModule I see the mat prefix.
It will probably resolve itself soon.

@crisbeto I am still seeing references to md- prefix in for example this example https://material.angular.io/components/toolbar/examples. Check the HTML tab, and you will find md's.
