Angular Material and Bootstrap 4

For a rather large Angular project (7.2.10), I use the Angular Material components as well. As you may probably know this library does not provide out of the box a good layout system, CSS reset and utilities...

So why not include these elements from the Bootstrap 4 framework ?

I'll show you how you can add parts of the Bootstrap to your Angular project.

Add Bootstrap to package.json

You first need to include the Bootstrap to your dependencies : npm install bootstrap --save

Add Bootstrap parts to the global stylesheet (src/style.scss)



When adding the Reboot, we have to fix some issues by including :
  • src/_variables.scss
  • src/_reset.scss


Thanks...

Chip input using Reactive Form

The Chips component documentation from the angular material website, describes how to use the MatChipInput directive with a chip-list for adding or removing chips.

We define our requirements as a  FormArray within our FormGroup. The requirements will be accessed in our template with this expression inside the *ngFor of <mat-chip></mat-chip> : *ngFor="let requirement of form.get('requirements').controls; let i = index;" In the ChipComponent class, the requirements array is accessed by using this expression: this.form.get('requirements') as FormArray; Thanks
