Materialize Sass version for Rails Asset Pipeline

materialize-sass is a Sass powered version of Materialize, a modern responsive front-end framework based on Material Design.

Installation

In your Gemfile you need to add the materialize-sass gem:

gem 'materialize-sass'

NOTE: Ensure that the sass-rails gem is presented in your Gemfile.

And then run the bundler and restart your server to make the files available through the pipeline:

$ bundle install

Or install it separately:

$ gem install materialize-sass

Usage

a. Sass

Import Materialize styles in app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss:

@import "materialize";

NOTE: If you have just generated a new Rails application, it may come with a .css file instead. If this file exists, it will be served instead of Sass, so remove it.

$ rm app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

HINT: Override materialize color variable.

Since materialize color scheme are declared in _color.scss you should import the color.scss first. then you can override color variable just like this:

@import "materialize/components/color";
$primary-color: color("blue", "lighten-2") !default;
@import 'materialize';

You can import each component just like in this file below: https://github.com/mkhairi/materialize-sass/blob/master/app/assets/stylesheets/materialize.scss

b. JavaScript

Require Materialize javascripts in app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

//= require jquery
//= require materialize-sprockets
