react-md
Create an accessible React application with the
material design specifications and Scss.
Installation
react-md has been updated to use
scoped packages starting with the
v2 release to help slowly transition to the new components and API. If you do
not need to slowly transition over this package can be used instead which is a
convenience package for exporting all the functionality from a single entry
point.
npm install --save react-md
or with yarn
:
yarn add react-md
For convenience, here is a list of all the included react-md scoped packages and
a link to their demo documentation page:
Highlights/Features
- Matches the accessibility guidelines from
www.w3.org
- Low level customizable components

Creating a new project
Check out the examples folder to see completed examples with
different build tools such as Next.js, Gatsby, and create-react-app.
First use create-react-app to create your project:
npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start
npx comes with npm 5.2+ and higher, if you have an older version you will need
to install create-react-app
globally instead
Or with yarn
:
yarn create react-app my-app
cd my-app
NOTE: You can also add the --typescript
flag to bootstrap a react-app with
typescript support
Next, install react-md
and sass
:
npm install --save react-md sass
Next, create a src/App.scss
file to include all the react-md
styles and
import the App.scss
file in the src/App.js
:
@use "react-md" as *;
@include react-md-utils;
+import './App.scss';
import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';
Finally, update the public/index.html
to include the Roboto
font and the
Material Icons font icons stylesheets from Google fonts:
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<meta name="theme-color" content="#000000" />
<!--
manifest.json provides metadata used when your web app is installed on a
user's mobile device or desktop. See https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/web-app-manifest/
-->
<link rel="manifest" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/manifest.json" />
+ <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700|Material+Icons">
<!--
Notice the use of %PUBLIC_URL% in the tags above.
It will be replaced with the URL of the `public` folder during the build.
Only files inside the `public` folder can be referenced from the HTML.
Unlike "/favicon.ico" or "favicon.ico", "%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" will
work correctly both with client-side routing and a non-root public URL.
Learn how to configure a non-root public URL by running `npm run build`.
-->
<title>React App</title>
</head>
- <body>
+ <body class="rmd-typography">
Once you have the styles, fonts, and font icons setup, you can start creating
components from react-md. It is generally recommended to update your base
src/App.js
to include some default configuration components:
import './App.scss';
-import logo from './logo.svg';
-import './App.css';
-
-function App() {
- return (
- <div className="App">
- <header className="App-header">
- <img src={logo} className="App-logo" alt="logo" />
- <p>
- Edit <code>src/App.js</code> and save to reload.
- </p>
- <a
- className="App-link"
- href="https://reactjs.org"
- target="_blank"
- rel="noopener noreferrer">
- Learn React
- </a>
- </header>
- </div>
- );
-}
+import {
+ Configuration,
+ Layout,
+ useLayoutNavigation,
+ Typography,
+ Button,
+} from 'react-md';
+
+// see @react-md/layout package for info on the main navigation
+const routes = {};
+function App() {
+ return (
+ <Configuration>
+ <Layout
+ title="My Title"
+ navHeaderTitle="My Nav Title"
+ treeProps={...useLayoutNavigation(routes, pathname)}
+ >
+ <Typography type="headline-4">Hello, world!</Typography>
+ <Button theme="primary">Example button</Button>
+ </Layout>
+ </Configuration>
+ );
+}
export default App;
