  The latest release includes
  
  http://demos.wijmo.com/5/Angular2/MaterialDesignLite/MaterialDesignLite/

  But MDL has more or less been shut down (https://github.com/google/material-design-lite#limited-support) due to some fatal flaws and has been replaced by the Material Components for the Web (https://github.com/material-components/material-components-web).

  Are there any plans to create examples for using Wijmo with the Material Components for the Web or Angular Material (which will be 1.0 in the coming months)?

  Hi,

  Just got an update:

  The sample is in the Pipeline and Dev Team already has a prototype, but it’s not finished yet. I will share with the sample once it passes through QA.

  Thanks,

  Excellent, thank you! I’m looking forward to having an example to point clients and prospective clients to.

  I also just saw that the MDL example was just a port from the AngularJS example, so it doesn’t seem like a lot of resources would have been used on it.
