Build login and registration page with Angular Material

Angular Material provides a set of reusable and accessible UI components based on Material Design. In this tutorial, we will use Angular Material to build a login and registration page using reactive forms and validation.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have Angular CLI installed. If not, you can install it by running the following command:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Setting up a new Angular project

Now, let’s create a new Angular project using the Angular CLI:

ng new login-registration

Install Angular Material

Next, we need to install Angular Material and Angular CDK:

ng add @angular/material

Creating the login and registration components

Now, let’s create two new components for the login and registration pages:

ng generate component login
ng generate component registration

Building the login and registration forms

Inside the login and registration components, we will create reactive forms using Angular’s FormBuilder and Validators. We will also use Angular Material components like MatFormField, MatInput, MatButtonModule, and MatIconModule to create the UI elements for the forms.

Adding form validation

We will add validation to the form fields using the Validators provided by Angular. For example, we can add required, email, and minLength validators to the email and password fields. We can also display error messages using Angular Material’s MatError component.

Handling form submission

Once the forms are created and validated, we can handle the form submission by subscribing to the form’s valueChanges and submit events. We can then send the form data to a backend API for authentication and registration.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to build a login and registration page with Angular Material, reactive forms, and validations. By using Angular Material’s UI components and Angular’s form functionality, we can create a seamless and user-friendly experience for our users.
