@include mat.all-component-themes($theme);| Anti-Pattern | Why It's Bad | Correct Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Importing entire Material module | Large bundle | Import individual modules |
Not using | Inconsistent UI | Standardize form field appearance |
| Synchronous animations | Blocks rendering | Use |
| Custom CSS for Material components | Breaks updates | Use theming API |
