To get started with Angular Material and Tailwind CSS, you'll need to install them separately. You can install Angular Material using npm by running the command `npm install @angular/material @angular/material-icons`.
First, make sure you have Angular installed in your project. Then, install the necessary packages for Angular Material, including the icons.
Tailwind CSS, on the other hand, can be installed using npm with the command `npm install tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer`. This will also install the necessary dependencies for Tailwind CSS.

Implementation
To implement Angular Material with TailwindCSS, you'll need to follow these steps. First, create an Angular project using the Angular CLI.
You'll then install Angular Material, which provides a range of UI components to enhance your application's look and feel.
Here are the specific steps to install Angular Material:
- Create an Angular project.
- Install Angular Material.
- Generate standalone components.
- Create a product view component.
- Edit the App Component.
- Add Angular Material themes.
In the product view component, you'll import necessary modules from Angular Material, such as MatCardModule, MatButtonModule, MatIconModule, and MatToolbarModule.
These modules will be used throughout the component to create a visually appealing product view.
To integrate these components into your App Component, you'll need to import the ProductViewComponent and MatToolbarModule.
Installation Options
To install Tailwind CSS in Angular, you'll need to meet the minimum version requirement. Angular version 11.2 or higher is necessary for native support.
You can update to the latest version using `ng update` or follow the Angular update guide.
To install Tailwind CSS, run `npm install -D tailwindcss` in your terminal.
A configuration file `tailwind.config.js` is required, which can be generated with `npx tailwindcss init`.
To remove unused styles, you'll need to configure Tailwind CSS in your `tailwind.config.js` file. This involves setting `purge.enabled` to `true` and specifying the content to be scanned, such as `./src/**/*.{html,ts}`.
Here are the installation steps:
- Update to Angular 11.2 or higher.
- Install Tailwind CSS with `npm install -D tailwindcss`.
- Generate the `tailwind.config.js` file with `npx tailwindcss init`.
- Configure Tailwind CSS to remove unused styles.
- Import the base styles into your `styles.scss` file.
