Angular Material
Angular Material is a UI component library for Angular applications that implements Google's Material Design specification. It provides a set of reusable, accessible, and customizable UI components such as buttons, forms, navigation, and data tables. The library is tightly integrated with Angular, offering seamless compatibility with Angular's features like dependency injection and reactive forms.
Developers should use Angular Material when building Angular applications that require a consistent, modern UI with minimal custom styling effort, as it accelerates development with pre-built, production-ready components. It is particularly valuable for enterprise applications, dashboards, and admin panels where accessibility and design consistency are critical, and it reduces the need for third-party CSS frameworks by providing a comprehensive component set.
