What's the difference between AngularJS Material and Polymer?

Question

I see many material elements both in Polymer and AngularJS Material. As I know, both of them are google's products about Material design, Are there any relationships between them? Are there any plans for Material for Angular v2?

To my knowledge there are three implementation of Material design for web by google: Polymer, Polymer.dart and AngularJS teams. I'm sure that somebody will develop set for AngularJS 2.0, because why not :) – Contemporaneous

And I found the post in the google forum. <groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/polymer-dev/fAvqDo40tMk/…>. – Uniflorous

Answer 1

Material design is a new design language spec that many frameworks, widget libraries, and 3rd authors can adopt and implement.

• Polymer is the reference implementation of material design for the web. As an added bonus, turns out web components lend themselves extremely well to the design/patterns of material design (css scoping, compartmentalization, declarative, etc.)
• Polymer.dart is simply a Dart port of Polymer. Since it's a port, the paper-* (material design) elements should be very similar to their JS counterparts. Ideally, there would be no port of the elements themselves, but true dart/js interop is lacking right now.
• Angular has their own interpretation of the material design spec. Not sure how closely it adheres to the spec.
