How do I integrate angular material components in ngx admin project

Question

I have a ngx admin project in angular and I want to include a material component in one of the pages.

I tried installing material using "ng add @angular/material" which gives an error.

So then I included @import "~@angular/material/prebuilt-themes/indigo-pink.css"; into styles.css

This is my html code that I want to integrate in one of the pages of angular material. The project shoes no errors, but whenever I run it, the page doesnt open. The html isnt displayed and everything goes into some kind of error.

  <button mat-button (click)="openDialog('Add',{})" mat-flat-button color="primary">Add Row</button>

  <table mat-table [dataSource]="dataSource" #mytable class="my-table mat-elevation-z8">

    <!--- Note that these columns can be defined in any order.
        The actual rendered columns are set as a property on the row definition" -->

    <!-- Id Column -->
    <ng-container matColumnDef="id">
      <th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> ID. </th>
      <td mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.id}} </td>
    </ng-container>

    <!-- Name Column -->
    <ng-container matColumnDef="name">
      <th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Name </th>
      <td mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.name}} </td>
    </ng-container>

    <!-- Action Column -->
    <ng-container matColumnDef="action">
      <th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Action </th>
      <td mat-cell *matCellDef="let element" class="action-link"> 
        <a (click)="openDialog('Update',element)">Edit</a> | 
        <a (click)="openDialog('Delete',element)">Delete</a>  
      </td>
    </ng-container>

    <tr mat-header-row *matHeaderRowDef="displayedColumns"></tr>
    <tr mat-row *matRowDef="let row; columns: displayedColumns;"></tr>
  </table>

</div>```
