How to change prefixes ?

You can automatically update your projects with the angular-material-prefix-updater tool.

However their tool does not work in beta.12 it only works in beta.11. So here is the trick you can use:

• npm install @angular/[email protected]` i.e. go back to version 11 however don;t save this to package.json.
• Run their prefixer tool.
• Revert back to @angular/[email protected] or best is nuke node_modules and reinstall

Additional Notes

• If you were using mat-select/md-select you now need to encapsulate it inside mat-form-field. This is a major enhancement which allows adding mat-hint and other desirable benefits of mat-form-fields
• If you used md-icon change from fontawesome to fa - this registry is provided for you under CBPRootModule

<md-icon  fontSet="fontawesome" fontIcon="fa-print"></md-icon>

to

<md-icon  fontSet="fa" fontIcon="fa-print"></md-icon>
