Adding core UI controls

Angular Material consists of many components of different types. Some of the most basic ones are as follows:

Buttons: These are what they sound like: buttons that you can push. But there are several different types that you can use, such as icon buttons, raised buttons, and more.
Form controls: These are any type of control that we use to collect data from a form, such as autocomplete, checkbox, input, radio button, and drop-down list.
Navigation: Controls that are used to perform navigation, such as a menu, a sidenav, or a toolbar.
Layout: Controls that define how data is arranged on a page, such as a list, a card, or tabs.
Popups/modals: Overlay windows that block any user interaction until they are dismissed in any way.
Tables: Controls that are used to display data in a tabular way. What kind of table you need depends on whether your data is massive and needs pagination or needs to be sorted, or both.
