how to use angular2-material with angular2

Question

NOTE: I don't use Angular Cli.

I added @angular2-material/core package. Then I installed other angular2-material components like @angular2-material/button, @angular2-material/card and so on.

systemjs.config.js

/**
 * System configuration for Angular 2 samples
 * Adjust as necessary for your application needs.
 */
(function(global) {
  // map tells the System loader where to look for things
  var map = {
    'app':                        'app', // 'dist',
    '@angular':                   'node_modules/@angular',
    'angular2-in-memory-web-api': 'node_modules/angular2-in-memory-web-api',
    'rxjs':                       'node_modules/rxjs',
    '@angular2-material':         'node_modules/@angular2-material', 
    // <--------------added this above line----------------------
  };
  // packages tells the System loader how to load when no filename and/or no extension
  var packages = {
    'app':                        { main: 'main.js',  defaultExtension: 'js' },
    'rxjs':                       { defaultExtension: 'js' },
    'angular2-in-memory-web-api': { main: 'index.js', defaultExtension: 'js' },
  };
  var ngPackageNames = [
    'common',
    'compiler',
    'core',
    'forms',
    'http',
    'platform-browser',
    'platform-browser-dynamic',
    'router',
    'router-deprecated',
    'upgrade',
  ];

  //<------------------added this below part--------------------------------
var materialPackages=[
    'core',
    //'button',
    //'card',
    'list',
  ];
  materialPackages.forEach(function(pkgName) {
    packages['@angular2-material/'+pkgName] = { format: 'cjs', defaultExtension: 'js'};
  });
 //<----------------------till here---------------------------------


  // Individual files (~300 requests):
  function packIndex(pkgName) {
    packages['@angular/'+pkgName] = { main: 'index.js', defaultExtension: 'js' };
  }
  // Bundled (~40 requests):
  function packUmd(pkgName) {
    packages['@angular/'+pkgName] = { main: '/bundles/' + pkgName + '.umd.js', defaultExtension: 'js' };
  }
  // Most environments should use UMD; some (Karma) need the individual index files
  var setPackageConfig = System.packageWithIndex ? packIndex : packUmd;
  // Add package entries for angular packages
  ngPackageNames.forEach(setPackageConfig);
  var config = {
    map: map,
    packages: packages
  };
  System.config(config);
})(this);

When I run my app I see below errors,

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:3000/node_modules/@angular2-material/sidenav/ Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:3000/node_modules/@angular2-material/toolbar/ Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) localhost/:16 Error: Error: XHR error (404 Not Found) loading http://localhost:3000/node_modules/@angular2-material/button(…)(anonymous function) @ localhost/:16 http://localhost:3000/node_modules/@angular2-material/card/ Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:3000/node_modules/@angular2-material/input/ Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:3000/node_modules/@angular2-material/checkbox/ Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:3000/node_modules/@angular2-material/radio/ Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:3000/node_modules/@angular2-material/icon/ Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:3000/node_modules/@angular2-material/list/ Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:3000/favicon.ico Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Answer 1

You should add material components separately as and when needed in system-config.ts:

1. angular-cli targeting dist/ directory

const map: any = {
  '@angular2-material/core': 'vendor/@angular2-material/core'
};

const packages: any = {
  '@angular2-material/core': {
    format: 'cjs',
    defaultExtension: 'js',
    main: 'core.js'
  }
};

And in angular-cli-build.js:

vendorNpmFiles: [
  'systemjs/dist/system-polyfills.js',
  'systemjs/dist/system.src.js',
  'zone.js/dist/*.js',
  'es6-shim/es6-shim.js',
  'reflect-metadata/*.js',
  'rxjs/**/*.js',
  '@angular/**/*.js',
  '@angular2-material/**/*.js'
]

2. lite-server or http-server targeting application root directory

const map: any = {
  '@angular2-material/core': 'node_modules/@angular2-material/core'
};

const packages: any = {
  '@angular2-material/core': {
    format: 'cjs',
    defaultExtension: 'js',
    main: 'core.js'
  }
};

Answer 2

Here is system.config.ts from the source of angular material2:

material2/GETTING_STARTED.md

npm

plunker

npm i @angular2-material/core --save

npm i @angular2-material/card --save

npm i @angular2-material/toolbar --save

npm i @angular2-material/button --save

npm i @angular2-material/slide-toggle --save

This works for :Angular 2 QuickStart Source

Component:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MD_SLIDE_TOGGLE_DIRECTIVES } from '@angular2-material/slide-toggle';
import { MD_TOOLBAR_DIRECTIVES } from '@angular2-material/toolbar';

import { MD_CARD_DIRECTIVES } from '@angular2-material/card';
import { MD_BUTTON_DIRECTIVES } from '@angular2-material/button';
@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    directives: [MD_TOOLBAR_DIRECTIVES,MD_CARD_DIRECTIVES,MD_SLIDE_TOGGLE_DIRECTIVES, MD_BUTTON_DIRECTIVES],

    template: `

            <h1>
        {{title}}
        </h1>
        <md-toolbar color="primary">
            Angular Material 2 App
        </md-toolbar>

        <div style="padding: 7px">
            <button md-button>Basic Button</button>
            <button md-raised-button>Raised Button</button>

Please update @angular2 RC4 to RC5 and add configuration file like below

/**
 * PLUNKER VERSION (based on systemjs.config.js in angular.io)
 * System configuration for Angular 2 samples
 * Adjust as necessary for your application needs.
 */
(function(global) {

  var ngVer = '@2.0.0-rc.5'; // lock in the angular package version; do not let it float to current!
  var routerVer = '@3.0.0-rc.1'; // lock router version
  var formsVer = '@0.3.0'; // lock forms version
  var routerDeprecatedVer = '@2.0.0-rc.2'; // temporarily until we update all the guides

  //map tells the System loader where to look for things
  var map = {
    'app':                        'app',
