@m3e/core

The @m3e/core package delivers the essential primitives, utilities, and behavioral mixins for building Material 3 web components. It serves as the foundation for accessibility, layout, platform detection, design tokens, keycodes, and more—enabling consistent, scalable, and maintainable development across the monorepo.

This package is part of M3E monorepo, a unified suite of Material 3 web components. Explore the docs to see them in action.
