How to Easily Remove Animation from mat-select Dropdown Input in Angular

Angular Material is a powerful framework that allows developers to create beautiful and functional web applications. However, some components come with default animations that may not fit every use case. One such example is the mat-select dropdown input, which has an animation that pops up the options when clicked. If you're looking to achieve a more native-like experience without animations, you're in the right place. In this guide, we'll explore how to remove animations from the mat-select dropdown input and provide you with an alternative approach to make it happen.

Understanding the Problem

When using mat-select, users may notice that the dropdown options appear with an appealing animation effect. While this can enhance visual interaction, it might not be desired in all scenarios, particularly if you prefer a more straightforward dropdown experience akin to a native HTML select element.

Why Remove Animations?

User Preference: Some users may prefer a minimalistic UI without distracting animations.

Performance: In performance-sensitive applications, reducing animations may lead to faster interactions.

Consistency: Consistency with the native select behavior can provide a familiar experience.

The Solution: Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Disable Animation for mat-select

To begin with, the simplest way to eliminate the animations in the mat-select dropdown is to hide the animation using CSS. You can achieve this by adding the following CSS rule:

Explanation: This CSS rule specifically targets the animation class used by Angular Material and sets its visibility to hidden, effectively removing the animated entrance of the dropdown.

Step 2: Consider Using a Native Control

Angular Material does provide an option to use native HTML elements within a mat-form-field. Although you may want to stick with mat-select, it's a good idea to know that you can use the native <select> control as well, which looks something like this:

Note: In this specific case, a native control might not be acceptable, but it's a viable option for those looking for a quick solution.

Step 3: Directly Simulate Native Dropdown Animation

For those who still wish to use mat-select without animations but want to customize the visual experience further, you can create a directive that mimics the native dropdown animation. Below is a simplified version of a custom directive to achieve this:

Tip: The key part of the directive is the event handling to customize UI behavior without the default animations.

Final Thoughts

By following these steps, you can easily remove animations from the mat-select component and achieve a more native-like dropdown experience. Whether it's by using CSS, switching to a native element, or creating a custom directive, you have multiple options at your disposal to enhance user experience.

Now you can take your Angular Material components one step closer to the feel you desire—simple and efficient without unnecessary visual distractions.
