I am currently working on developing a text dialog for my app that will be reused frequently. The text dialog consists of a header, a message displayed above the text input, the text input area, and "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons.
Upon my observation, I have found that the easiest way to adjust the width of the dialog is by passing it through the MatDialogConfig object when calling it to open the dialog. Here is an example:
openDialog() {
var params = {
data: {
// data being passed into the dialog
},
width: "600px"
}
const dialogRef = this.dialog.open(TextDialog, params);
dialogRef.afterClosed().subscribe(() => { //do something after close });
}
Although this method successfully increases the size of the window to the desired width, the elements inside the dialog template do not automatically adjust in size. Even if I inspect the window elements without adjusting the width, I notice that the width is 228.27 and the text input's width is 180.
When I attempt to manually increase the element width to 600, the input remains the same width. I have explored inspecting the dialog, where everything seems to be within the mat-dialog-container, including the div.mat-dialog-container element, both of which have the correct width. However, elements starting from mat-form-field and below still retain the original 180-pixel width. I have tried adjusting the width with the following CSS:
mat-form-field {
width: 600px;
}
But using "inherit" or "auto" does not seem to have the desired effect. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this issue!
