Attempting to design the appearance of the form fields within a Mat-Card

As someone new to UI development and lacking in-depth knowledge of css, I have been searching for examples to style a login page using Angular Material. My main struggle right now is getting the form fields to expand the width of the card (minus the padding), but so far I haven't been successful.

Could someone guide me on how my form fields should be styled? Additionally, I've noticed that many styles include "example-" in their name. Are these supposed to be defined in my css file?

Below is an excerpt from my stylesheet:

.example-icon {
  padding: 0 14px;
}    
.example-spacer {
  flex: 1 1 auto;
}    
.example-card {
  max-width: 400px;
  width: 75%;
  margin: 10px auto;
}    
.example-header-image {
  background-image: image("./assets/logo.png");
  background-size: cover;
}    
.main-div {
  height: 50vh;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

And here is a snippet of the html page:

<div class="main-div">
  <mat-card class="example-card">
    <mat-card-header>
      <img mat-card-avatar src="./assets/logo.png">
      <mat-card-title>Login</mat-card-title>
    </mat-card-header>
    <mat-card-content>
      <form class="example-form">
        <table class="example-full-width" cellspacing="0">
          <tr>
            <td>
              <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
                <input matInput placeholder="Username" [(ngModel)]="username" name="username" required>
              </mat-form-field>
            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>
              <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
                <input matInput placeholder="Password" [(ngModel)]="password" type="password" name="password" required>
              </mat-form-field>
            </td>
          </tr>
        </table>
      </form>
      <mat-spinner [style.display]="showSpinner ? 'block' : 'none'"></mat-spinner>
    </mat-card-content>
    <mat-card-actions>
      <button mat-raised-button (click)="login()" color="primary">Login</button>
    </mat-card-actions>
  </mat-card>
</div>

To implement custom styles, it is essential to define a new style class in your .css file and apply it within the template.

.custom-style {
  color: red;
}

While naming your style classes, there is no strict rule about using prefixes like "example-". However, make sure to update the names consistently across both the template (.html file) and .css file for clarity and consistency.
