    </div>
</div>

login.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { MdCardModule,MdInputModule } from '@angular/material';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-login',
  templateUrl: './login.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./login.component.css']

Answer 1

Add a class to the md-card something like this:

.center{
  width: 75%;
  margin: 10px auto;
}

.main-div{
  height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

html:

<div class="main-div">
  <md-card class="z-depth center" flex="50" >Simple card</md-card>
</div>
