Using with Angular Material #1067

Description

@erviem99

We are using Angular Material (Angular 17) and need dynamic forms generation. Form.io looks exactely like what we need. We are a little worried about the look and feel of the generated forms though.

We noticed there is a deprecated project for using form.io with Angular Material here: https://github.com/formio/angular-material. This looks like what we really want, but...

It the Material design supported out of the box with this project, or do we have to build all the custom templates ourselves to get the right look and feel?

If all components are rendered using Angular Material, is there a requirement to use a custom CSS framework with Form.io, because we do not really have any need for that right now using Angular Material and Flexbox.

    Hey @erviem99
    We kept the library open to give everyone a sense of how to do it, but we will not fix bugs.
    In a workaround solution, https://bootswatch.com/materia/ This template is compatible with Formio Forms that looks like Angular Material as Formio uses Bootstrap. Formio Forms will get the styles you implement from your application, plus you can modify the templates entirely.
