Angular Material Menu
Angular Material Menu : Menus are an important component of any framework and it provides interface for navigation. Here in this tutorial we are going to explain how you can create Angular Material Menu. You can also use our online editor to edit and run the code online.
Angular Material Menu Example
Menu elements are opened when clicked and provides additional options. Directive <md-menu> is used to create menu in Angular Material. <md-menu> contains two child elements : 1. First element used to open the menu options. 2. Second element is <md-menu-content> which contains the content of the menu element which is opened when clicked on menu button. Basically <md-menu-content> contains the <md-menu-item> but you can also add custom elements. Let us first create a basic example to understand how it works.
