Schematic "materialDashboard" not found in collection "@angular/material"

Question

I was trying to create a dashboard using the following command:

ng generate @angular/material:materialDashboard --name myDashboard

When I executed the command, it resulted in an error:

Schematic "materialDashboard" not found in collection
"@angular/material". Error: Schematic "materialDashboard" not found in
collection "@angular/material".

Even I tried for other commands for myTable and matNavbar

ng generate @angular/material:materialNavbar --name matNavbar
ng generate @angular/material:materialTable --name myTable

The same error happened with the above two commands. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Investigation turns out that the commands aliases for generation of materialShell, materialDashboard, materialNav and materialTable were removed from schematics/collection.json of @angular/material. Rather while using it you can only use kebab case form of them.

materialShell => material-shell
materialDashboard => material-dashboard
materialNav => material-nav
materialTable => material-table

So rather than using older command like this

ng generate @angular/material:materialNav --name my-navbar

use

ng generate @angular/material:material-nav --name my-navbar

Answer 2

In the official documentation

Install Schematics

ng add @angular/material

Generator Schematics

Navigation Schematic

ng generate @angular/material:material-nav --name <component-name>

Dashboard Schematic

ng generate @angular/material:material-dashboard --name <component-name>

Table Schematic

ng generate @angular/material:material-table --name <component-name>

Answer 3

You can install it using:
ng generate @angular/material:dashboard --name myDashboard

For other components it will be:
ng generate @angular/material:nav --name myNav
ng generate @angular/material:table --name myTable
