Animating UI Elements in Angular #2
An animated toggler for your menus
This article is the second of a series about animating UI elements in Angular extending the component set provided by Angular Material.
Animating the menu toggler has been among the very first topic I learned while challenging myself in web development believing it was part of web development 101.

This was when I decided to build an animated toggler for Angular myself.
Blending in with Angular Material
Angular Material uses global styles for theming. Every component has its own global styling classes while there is a mixin to include in your global style.scss file to define them for all the components according to the selected theming colors.
This alone is a topic worth to be covered in depth, so, I’ll publish something about it very soon.
