Angular Material - Overview

Understand AngularJS Material directives, services, themes, and layout tools.

How it works

AngularJS Material provided reusable UI components and layout utilities for AngularJS 1.x apps. Its directives use the md- prefix and integrate with AngularJS scopes and forms. The modern Angular Material library is separate, uses Angular components and the mat- prefix, and should not be assumed to share APIs or setup instructions.

Practical checklist

• Confirm whether the application uses AngularJS Material 1.x or modern Angular Material for Angular v2+.
• Use meaningful labels, keyboard-accessible interactions, and visible focus states.
• Test responsive behavior, validation, and assistive-technology output.
• Review dependency support and security before maintaining a legacy deployment.
