Is Angular 4 material responsive like bootstrap?

Question

I am starting on a new project with Angular 4 and need to create responsive and pleasant user interface.

• bootstrap gives you responsiveness, but no material feel

Answer 1

To add responsiveness in modern angular app you can use Flex-layout it is completely separate from material2 so you can use that even without using material2 in your app.

Bare in mind that as flex-layout is based on Flexbox CSS so it is not supported in old browsers.

Here are some examples

UPDATE:

Starting from 6.0.0-beta.16 flex-layout now has an API to support CSS Grid. You can find more details by checking pr#712

Answer 2

A bit late but I have created a starter template that shows an example of a responsive layout with Material 5 and Angular 5 as well as some simple routing. https://github.com/kenji-1996/material-sidenav-responsive-starter

Uses Material and Flex, no outside libs
