Question

I'm getting following error when I'm trying to use Angular Material in the code.

Below is the code:
app.component.ts:

    import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
    import { MdButton } from '@angular2-material/button';
    @Component({
    selector: 'myApp',
    templateUrl: './app/app.html',
    styleUrls: ['./app/app.css'],
    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
    })
    export class AppComponent {
    }

app.module.ts:

    import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
    import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
    import { FormsModule }   from '@angular/forms';
    import { HttpModule }    from '@angular/http';
    import { MdButtonModule } from '@angular2-material/button';
    import { routing, appRoutingProviders } from './app.routing';
    import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
    import { LoginModule } from './login/login.module';
    import { HomeModule } from './home/home.module';
    import { ItemsModule } from './items/items.module';
    import { MoviesModule } from './movies/movies.module';
    @NgModule({
    imports: [ BrowserModule, FormsModule, HttpModule, MdButtonModule, routing, LoginModule, HomeModule, ItemsModule, MoviesModule ],
    declarations: [ AppComponent ],
    providers: [ appRoutingProviders ],
    bootstrap: [ AppComponent ],
    })
    export class AppModule {}

app.routing.ts:

    import { ModuleWithProviders } from '@angular/core';
    import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
    const appRoutes: Routes = [];
    export const appRoutingProviders: any[] = [];
    export const routing: ModuleWithProviders = RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes);

main.ts:

    import {platformBrowserDynamic} from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
    import { AppModule } from './app.module';
    const platform = platformBrowserDynamic();
    platform.bootstrapModule(AppModule);

system.config.js:

    /**
    * System configuration for Angular 2 samples
    * Adjust as necessary for your application needs.
    */
    (function (global) {
    System.config({
    paths: {
    // paths serve as alias
    'npm:': 'node_modules/'
    },
    // map tells the System loader where to look for things
    map: {
    // our app is within the app folder
    app: 'app',
    // angular bundles
    '@angular/core': 'npm:@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js',
    '@angular/common': 'npm:@angular/common/bundles/common.umd.js',
    '@angular/compiler': 'npm:@angular/compiler/bundles/compiler.umd.js',
    '@angular/platform-browser': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser/bundles/platform-browser.umd.js',
    '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/bundles/platform-browser-dynamic.umd.js',
    '@angular/http': 'npm:@angular/http/bundles/http.umd.js',
    '@angular/router': 'npm:@angular/router/bundles/router.umd.js',
    '@angular/forms': 'npm:@angular/forms/bundles/forms.umd.js',
    '@angular2-material': 'npm:@angular2-material',
    // other libraries
    'rxjs':                       'npm:rxjs',
    'angular2-in-memory-web-api': 'npm:angular2-in-memory-web-api',
    },
    // packages tells the System loader how to load when no filename and/or no extension
    packages: {
    app: {
    main: './main.js',
    defaultExtension: 'js'
    },
    rxjs: {
    main: 'main.js',
    defaultExtension: 'js'
    },
    'angular2-in-memory-web-api': {
    main: './index.js',
    defaultExtension: 'js'
    },
    '@angular2-material/core': {
    main: 'core.js',
    defaultExtension: 'js'
    },     
    '@angular2-material/button': {
    main: 'button.js',
    defaultExtension: 'js'
    },      
    '@angular2-material/card': {
    main: 'card.js',
    defaultExtension: 'js'
    }
    }
    });
    })(this);

As soon as I add MdButtonModule in imports list of "app.module.ts", I start getting the error.

Update 2.0.0-alpha.9 cobalt-kraken (2016-09-26)

Angular Material has changed from @angular2-material/... packages to a single package under @angular/material

So your config might look like:

(function (global) {
  System.config({
    paths: {
      // paths serve as alias
      'npm:': 'node_modules/'
    },
    // map tells the System loader where to look for things
    map: {
      // our app is within the app folder
      app: 'app',
      // angular bundles
      '@angular/core': 'npm:@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js',
      '@angular/common': 'npm:@angular/common/bundles/common.umd.js',
      '@angular/compiler': 'npm:@angular/compiler/bundles/compiler.umd.js',
      '@angular/platform-browser': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser/bundles/platform-browser.umd.js',
      '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/bundles/platform-browser-dynamic.umd.js',
      '@angular/http': 'npm:@angular/http/bundles/http.umd.js',
      '@angular/router': 'npm:@angular/router/bundles/router.umd.js',
      '@angular/forms': 'npm:@angular/forms/bundles/forms.umd.js',

      '@angular/material': 'npm:@angular/material/bundles/material.umd.js', <== this line

       ...
    },
    ...
  });
})(this);

And use it like

import { MaterialModule } from '@angular/material';
@NgModule({
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, MaterialModule ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Old version

Starting with angular2-material alpha 8 you need to use the following configuration:

materialPackages.forEach(name => {
  packages[`@angular2-material/${name}`] = {
    format: 'cjs',
    main: `${name}.umd.js`
  };
});

See also the changelog

• https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

all: we've updated our packaging to match angular/angular's packaging. If you're using SystemJS in your project, you will probably want to switch to using our UMD bundles

So you have to change your

system.config.js

packages: {
  ...
  '@angular2-material/core': {
    format: 'cjs',
    main: 'core.umd.js'
  },     
  '@angular2-material/button': {
    format: 'cjs',
    main: 'button.umd.js'
  },      
  '@angular2-material/card': {
    format: 'cjs',
    main: 'card.umd.js'
  },
  ...
