Installation
npm install @material/mwc-button
NOTE: The Material Web Components are distributed as ES2017 JavaScript
Modules, and use the Custom Elements API. They are compatible with all modern
browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and IE11, but an additional
tooling step is required to resolve bare module specifiers, as well as
transpilation and polyfills for Edge and IE11. See
here
for detailed instructions.
