Angular Material

The package includes a theme for angular material. In your own angular material theme:

@import '~@angular/material/theming';
@import '~angular-mgl-timeline/theme';
...

@include angular-material-theme($your-theme);
@include mgl-timeline-theme($your-theme);

If the theme is included, the components will be styled according to $your-theme including support for primary and accent colors for the dot.

Polyfills

Smoothscroll

When an entry is toggled, it will scroll into view. Smooth behavior is currently not supported in Chrome. A polyfill is available in iamdustan's smoothscroll

ClassList

ClassList.toggle was used at some points, including the second parameter. If you need to support browsers which do not support this, be sure to use a polyfill, e.g. this one.

Animations are implemented with Angular animations which are based on the web animations API which has not landed in Safari and Edge yet. A polyfill is available in Web Animations JS
