Every bugfix or feature is welcome! At least there are some requirements that must be fulfilled:

- this package must work with the css from the CDN (https://code.getmdl.io/1.2.1/material.indigo-pink.min.css)
- this package must work with the included scss files. these files are copied from the material-design-lite package and all mask images are included to make the usage as easy as possible. the scss files are regenerated if there is a new release of mdl. this would override any changes made so far.
- this package must work with the included scss files. these files are copied from the material-design-lite package and all mask images are included to make the usage as easy as possible. All extensions must exist outside of the scss/mdl directory or they will be overwritten the next time we pull from mdl.
- this package should only provide what is provided by material design lite so far (to keep it clean, maintainable and predictable what is included)
If these requirements can't be guaranteed there is an extension package (https://github.com/mseemann/angular2-mdl-ext). this package is open for nearly every new feature.

This package no longer supports the deprecated forms APIs. You have to use the FormsModule in you app module. For example:

```JavaScript
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
FormsModule,
MdlModule
],
declarations: [
Angular2MdlAppComponent
],
entryComponents: [Angular2MdlAppComponent],
bootstrap: [],
})
export class Angular2MdlAppModule {
constructor(private appRef: ApplicationRef) { }

public ngDoBootstrap() {
this.appRef.bootstrap(Angular2MdlAppComponent);
}
}
```

There are still a lot of bugs in angular2 rc5. For example: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/10618.
This means that prod builds are broken. You need to disable some minification options. See the comments in the mentioned ticket.

### Installation

```bash
npm install angular2-mdl --save
```

Please make sure you have installed typings before installation.
```bash
npm install typings -g
```

You need to extend the `angular-cli-build.js` file to include `angular2-mdl` as a vendor package:

But there is also another way. This package includes the scss files from material-design-lite.
With these files you are able to change the colors and other variables in your own scss files:

First of all you need to install node-sass for your project:
```bash
npm install node-sass --save-dev
```
After that you need to configure the sass compiler to use the sass files from the angular2-mdl package.
For that the file `angular-cli-build.js` needs to be extended:
```JavaScript
return new Angular2App(defaults, {

sassCompiler: {
includePaths: [
`${__dirname}/node_modules/angular2-mdl/src/scss`
]
},
vendorNpmFiles: [

```scss
@import "color-definitions";

To make this working you need to find out the way how you cold tell your build system where the scss is located.
For example with webpack this can be done in this way:

[comment]: <> (in angular-cli/lib/broccoli/angular-broccoli-bundle.js set { minify: true, mangle: false })
```JavaScript
sassLoader: {
includePaths: [util.root('node_modules', 'angular2-mdl', 'scss')]
}
```

# Contributing

*The contributing section is a work in progress, please be aware that changes are still being suggested and your PR may need to go through a couple revisions prior to acceptance*
* This package should only provide what is provided by material design lite so far (to keep it clean, maintainable and predictable what is included)
* Any extensions need to be things that the packaging of mdl into @angular makes it very hard to extend (to be reviewed and accepted/rejected based on merit by the owners of this repository).
## SCSS
* This package must work with the CSS from [the CDN](https://code.getmdl.io/1.2.1/material.indigo-pink.min.css)
* We pull the source directly with a script into app/scss/mdl
* All extensions must exist outside of the mdl directory or they will be overwritten the next time we pull from mdl
