Working example of Angular 2.0 Material MdDialog with Angular 2.0

Update to angular v4 and @angular/material 2.0.0-beta.12

md prefix was changed to mat

Import MatDialogModule instead of MdDialogModule

@angular/material now depends on @angular/cdk as a peer dependency.

Recap: Plunkr

8 steps to Material Dialog + Appendix

Step 1:
Install package

npm i --save @angular/material @angular/cdk @angular/animations

Step 2:
Configure systemjs.config.js

map: {
  ...
  '@angular/animations': 'npm:@angular/animations/bundles/animations.umd.js',
  '@angular/animations/browser': 'npm:@angular/animations/bundles/animations-browser.umd.js',
  '@angular/platform-browser/animations': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser/bundles/platform-browser-animations.umd.js',
  '@angular/material': 'npm:@angular/material/bundles/material.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/a11y': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-a11y.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/bidi': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-bidi.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/coercion': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-coercion.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/collections': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-collections.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/keycodes': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-keycodes.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/observers': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-observers.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/overlay': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-overlay.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/platform': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-platform.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/portal': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-portal.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/rxjs': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-rxjs.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/scrolling': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-scrolling.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/table': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-table.umd.js',
  '@angular/cdk/stepper': 'https://unpkg.com/@angular/cdk/bundles/cdk-stepper.umd.js',
},

Step 3:
Import MatDialogModule to your module

import { MatDialogModule } from '@angular/material';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

@NgModule({
  imports: [ 
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule, <== required
    MatDialogModule <== here
  ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule {}

Step 4:
Create desired dialog component like:

@Component({
  selector: 'your-dialog-selector',
  template: `
  <h2>Hi! I am modal dialog!</h2>
  <button mat-raised-button (click)="dialogRef.close()">Close dialog</button>`
})
export class DialogComponent {
  constructor(public dialogRef: MdDialogRef<DialogComponent>) { }
}

Step 5:
Add the component from step 4 to declarations and entryComponents arrays of your NgModule decorator:

@NgModule({
  imports: [ BrowserModule, MatDialogModule ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent, DialogComponent ],
  entryComponents: [ DialogComponent ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule {}

Step 6:
Use it in your component:

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `<button mat-raised-button (click)="openDialog()">Open dialog</button>`,
})
export class App {

  constructor(public dialog: MatDialog) { }

  openDialog(key) {
    let dialogRef = this.dialog.open(DialogComponent);
  }
}

Step 7
Pick out the desired theme:

<link href="https://unpkg.com/@angular/material/prebuilt-themes/deeppurple-amber.css" 
  rel="stylesheet">

Other themes you can find here

Step 8

If you want to pass data to modal then use the following (Plunker):

dialogRef.componentInstance.param1 = "test value";
