Answer 1

Thanks guys, works like a charm, to wrap this up a complete solution, that works well for me (tested with beta6). Without too much boilerplate code. The only thing I did not get to work are really dynamically added elements via *ngFor depending on a component variable. See dynamic elements in the template. Maybe one of you guys knows how to get around that.

See a working plunkr (the preview must be at least 1024px wide to see the header)

Install MDL

npm i material-design-lite --save

Reference it in your index.html

Create MaterialDesignLiteUpgradeElement.ts

import {Directive, AfterViewInit} from 'angular2/core';
declare var componentHandler: any;

@Directive({
    selector: '[mdl]'
})    
export class MDL implements AfterViewInit {
    ngAfterViewInit() {
        componentHandler.upgradeAllRegistered();
    }
}

Then in your component import and register it

import { Component } from '@angular/core';    
import { MDL } from '../../../directives/MaterialDesignLiteUpgradeElement';

@Component ({
  selector: 'my-component',
  directives: [ MDL ],
  templateUrl: 'app/components/Header/Header.html'
})
export class Header {
  public dynamicArray:number[] = [];

  add() {
    this.dynamicArray.push(Math.round(Math.random() * 10));
  }
}

And in your template add mdl to the root component
