- Writing tests for Material components
Rules
| Rule | Impact | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Import Material Modules Selectively | MEDIUM | Tree-shake unused components with standalone imports |
| Use Angular Material Theming System | MEDIUM | M3 theme API with CSS custom properties |
| Use CDK Utilities Over Custom Implementations | MEDIUM | Battle-tested overlays, virtual scroll, and a11y primitives |
