Imat

Imat is a simple helper to remove the redundant pain from adding @angular/material to an angular project.

Usage

Simply cd into an angular project and type commands:

Node >= 8.x
npx imat

Node < 8.x
npm i -g imat
imat

Available options
Type npx imat --help

install
  Automatically edit files and install packages for a fully fledged install of @angular/material
Options:
  --no-mat-icons Remove material icons import from installation
    aliases: -nmi
  --theme <theme-name> Select prebuilt material theme
    aliases: -t
  --use-noop-module Uses NoopAnimationsModule instead of BrowserAnimationsModule
    aliases: -unm
  --yarn Uses yarn instead of NPM to install dependencies
    aliases: -y

Motivations

This package was simply born out of the frustration from adding for the fortieth time @angular/material to an angular project.
I was creating once another project and I refused to manually edit those same four files and writing the same long install command once again.
