Multiple npm packages on npmjs.com - material2 and @angular/material

[vlodko]

Proposal:

I'm seeing multiple different npm packages on npmjs.com: material2, @angular/material and angular2-material which is a list of component actually.

All of them are pointing to the same github repo: https://github.com/angular/material2.

Is there a possibility to have only one official page for material2 package because it's quite confusing? Thanks

angular2-material was the name the package had before, and anything published in npm stays there forever (unless you talk to the npm people).

The rebranding and supported packages are @angular/material, so just ignore the other ones.

@emoralesb05 Yeah that's true. Also the NPM package material2 is not an official one.

@emoralesb05 @DevVersion thanks for clarification. Can I use angular2-material separate packages? Do you have plan to update those?

[devversion]

@vlodko No those angular2-material packages are outdated and all newer versions of Angular Material will be released under @angular/material.

By using tree-shaking you will automatically only include the packages you use in your Angular application.

@DevVersion thanks for reply! Need to add tree-shaking to the project now :)
