Material Components for the web

Material Components for the web (MDC Web) helps developers execute Material Design. Developed by a core team of engineers and UX designers at Google, these components enable a reliable development workflow to build beautiful and functional web projects.

MDC Web strives to seamlessly incorporate into a wider range of usage contexts, from simple static websites to complex, JavaScript-heavy applications to hybrid client/server rendering systems. In short, whether you're already heavily invested in another framework or not, it should be easy to incorporate Material Components into your site in a lightweight, idiomatic fashion.

Material Components for the web is the successor to Material Design Lite. In addition to implementing the Material Design guidelines, it provides more flexible theming customization, not only in terms of color, but also typography, shape, states, and more. It is also specifically architected for adaptability to various major web frameworks.

NOTE: Material Components Web follows semver and is still in version 0.x, which means it is regularly subject to breaking changes. We typically follow a 2-week release schedule which includes one minor release per month with breaking changes, and intermediate patch releases with bug fixes.

Quick start

Using via CDN

<!-- Required styles for MDC Web -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/material-components-web@latest/dist/material-components-web.min.css">

<!-- Render textfield component -->
<div class="mdc-text-field">
  <input type="text" id="my-text-field" class="mdc-text-field__input">
  <label class="mdc-floating-label" for="my-text-field">Hint text</label>
  <div class="mdc-line-ripple"></div>
</div>

<!-- Required MDC Web JavaScript library -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/material-components-web@latest/dist/material-components-web.min.js"></script>
<!-- Instantiate single textfield component rendered in the document -->
<script>
  mdc.textField.MDCTextField.attachTo(document.querySelector('.mdc-text-field'));
</script>

Please see quick start demo on codepen for full example.

Using NPM

Install textfield node module to your project.

npm install @material/textfield

HTML

Sample usage of text field component. Please see MDC Textfield component page for more options.

<div class="mdc-text-field">
  <input type="text" id="my-text-field" class="mdc-text-field__input">
  <label class="mdc-floating-label" for="my-text-field">Hint text</label>
  <div class="mdc-line-ripple"></div>
</div>

CSS

Load styles required for text field component.

@import "@material/textfield/mdc-text-field";

JavaScript

Import MDCTextField module to instantiate text field component.

import {MDCTextField} from '@material/textfield/index';
const textField = new MDCTextField(document.querySelector('.mdc-text-field'));

This'll initialize text field component on a single .mdc-text-field element.

Please see quick start demo on stackblitz for full example.
