Answer 1

dialog-component.css

This code works perfectly for me, other solutions don't work. Use the ::ng-deep shadow-piercing descendant combinator to force a style down through the child component tree into all the child component views. The ::ng-deep combinator works to any depth of nested components, and it applies to both the view children and content children of the component.

 ::ng-deep .mat-dialog-container {
    height: 400px !important;
    width: 400px !important;
}

There are two ways which we can use to change size of your MatDialog component in angular material

1) From Outside Component Which Call Dialog Component

import { MatDialog, MatDialogConfig, MatDialogRef } from '@angular/material';


dialogRef: MatDialogRef <any> ;

constructor(public dialog: MatDialog) { }

openDialog() {
        this.dialogRef = this.dialog.open(TestTemplateComponent, {
            height: '40%',
            width: '60%'
        });
        this.dialogRef.afterClosed().subscribe(result => {
            this.dialogRef = null;
        });
    }

2) From Inside Dialog Component. dynamically change its size

import { MatDialog, MatDialogConfig, MatDialogRef } from '@angular/material';

constructor(public dialogRef: MatDialogRef<any>) { }

 ngOnInit() {
        this.dialogRef.updateSize('80%', '80%');
    }

use updateSize() in any function in dialog component. it will change dialog size automatically.

I think you need to use /deep/, because your CSS may not see your modal class. For example, if you want to customize .modal-dialog

/deep/.modal-dialog {
  width: 75% !important;
}

But this code will modify all your modal-windows, better solution will be

:host {
  /deep/.modal-dialog {
  width: 75% !important;
  }
}

Answer 4

With current version of Angular Material (6.4.7) you can use a custom class:

let dialogRef = dialog.open(UserProfileComponent, {
  panelClass: 'my-class'
});

Now put your class somewhere global (haven't been able to make this work elsewhere), e.g. in styles.css:

.my-class .mat-dialog-container{
  height: 400px;
  width: 600px;
  border-radius: 10px;
  background: lightcyan;
  color: #039be5;
}

Done!

For the most recent version of Angular as of this post, it seems you must first create a MatDialogConfig object and pass it as a second parameter to dialog.open() because Typescript expects the second parameter to be of type MatDialogConfig.

const matDialogConfig = new MatDialogConfig();
matDialogConfig.width = "600px";
matDialogConfig.height = "480px";
this.dialog.open(MyDialogComponent, matDialogConfig);
