The example library is angular-mdc-web.
In order to use the custom mixins from the library add this to angular.json file in the project.architect.build.options section:
...
"stylePreprocessorOptions": {
     "includePaths": [
           "node_modules"
      ]
}
...
Then in your component scss, find the path to the mixins file in the node_modules and import it as follow:
// path from node_modules for mdc-text-field
@import "@angular-mdc/theme/scss/textfield/mdc-text-field";
// use like this:
mdc-text-field {
  @include mdc-text-field-textarea-fill-color(red);
}
