Material 3 Expressive

[smil-thakur]

Feature Description

As google is developing the all new material 3 expressive https://m3.material.io/blog/building-with-m3-expressive, is there any plans for angular material to use material 3 expressive, will it be a option to toggle expressive on or off, or it will be default and only option available, knowing this can help us for future migration of our projects

We don't have plans to support expressive at the moment, given that a lot of the styles will likely require different markup which makes it difficult to control with tokens. Leaving this issue open for discussions.

Are there any plans to support the newly added Material 3 components like Button groups, FAB menu, Loading indicator, and Split button, even if full expressive theming isn’t planned?

Thanks!

@crisbeto could you go a little more into the details of what does that mean? Can't M3 styling flags be slowly sprinkled though the components? I was thinking something along the lines of adding a "lower padding" flag for a event a new variant for like buttons to start with and move on one by one? Or that would make the components too big? Too many variants?

As Material Web is in maintenance mode, this would be great!

What end-goal should the discussion have? Evaluate how good of a case can be made for needing it? Or whether there are good ideas through which it could be cheap to implement?

Isn't material web an entirely separate issue? Or would the hope have been that Material web would implement support for M3-Expressive ?

Yeah, because material web went to maintenance mode, I switched to angular/angular material.
