    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,

    MatCheckboxModule,
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
  
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
  
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import {MatButtonModule} from '@angular/material/button';
import {MatCheckboxModule} from '@angular/material/checkbox';
  
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    FormsModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
    MatButtonModule,
    MatCheckboxModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

src/app/app.component.html

<h1>Angular Material Checkbox Example - ItSolutionStuff.com</h1>
  
<form [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="submit()">
  
    <mat-checkbox formControlName="i_agree">I Agree for condition...</mat-checkbox>
      
    <button mat-raised-button color="accent">Submit</button>
</form>

src/app/app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
  
import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, Validators} from '@angular/forms';
  
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'app-material2';
  
  form: FormGroup = new FormGroup({});
  
  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
  
    this.form = fb.group({
      i_agree: ['', [Validators.required]],
    })
  }
   
  get f(){
    return this.form.controls;
  }
   
  submit(){
    console.log(this.form.value);
  }
}

You can easily run by following command:

ng serve
