QuickStart

import { Button } from "rmcw";

function MyComponent() {
  return <Button>MyComponent</Button>;
}

What is the purpose of the project?

This library provide react wrapper for Material Design components. Both Material Design 2 and 3. And the original design is almost intact.

What's different between other libraries?

Under this library, the mdc's status only follow react status. This mean the mdc's status would not change until react status change. This library always sync the react status and the mdc status. (By default, mdc usually modify the element's status automatically that make the mdc element out of control in react framework)

For example:

const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);

<Dialog open={open}>{children}</Dialog>;

The dialog would be open when open is true and closed when open is false. And when user click the scrim, this library just only invoke onScrimClick callback and do nothing (dialog will keep open if open is true after click). No one can force you to close the dialog on fixed callback in the library (for example, in rmwc library if you don't close dialog in onClose callback, your react state will out of sync with mwc and component behavior will be unpredictable).

If programmer want to close dialog when user click the scrim, the only way is:

const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);

<Dialog open={open} onScrimClick={() => setOpen(false)}>
  {children}
</Dialog>;

This library will block most of mdc default behavior that keep the dom state sync with react state. Including some input element, the state will keep sync without call Event.preventDefault() conditionally (Checkbox, Radio and etc).

But Material Design 2 TextArea and TextField still keep normal react input control style. Use Event.preventDefault() to prevent state change conditionally in React 16 or before. Material Design 3 TextField will keep value sync without call Event.preventDefault(). Just like React 18.

Compatible with React 18

You can enable StrictMode without error or warning message whatever you want. No legacy api use.

Font may not load properly. The way to work around is to import font file manually. Put import "@fontsource/roboto"; in your own source file. This problem is caused by import side effect not working properly.

Material Design 3 is not default components for import. Material Design 2 would still be default for long time. You need to import Material Design 3 components from sub directory. For example import { Button } from "rmcw/dist/components3". Material Design 3 is built on Lit and there are great stability risks with React. Material Design 2 is directly built on React and it would be fully compatible with React!

Known bug: TextField not working in React 19. Button inside Menu not working in Safari.

System Requirement:

Edge	120 +
Firefox	119 +
Safari*	16.4 +

Additional Components

• Theme (Unified theme settings and better dark theme support)

import { Theme } from "rmcw"; // for Material Design 2

// import { Theme } from "rmcw/dist/components3"; // for Material Design 3

function ThemeSwitch() {
  const [enableDarkTheme, setEnableDarkTheme] = React.useState(undefined as (boolean | undefined));

  /* false: force light theme */
  /* true: force dark theme */
  /* undefined: automatically (state from 'window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)')') */
  return <Theme enableDarkTheme={enableDarkTheme}>{myComponent}</Theme>;
}

• Material Design use CSS custom properties to custom color or font. You can just set CSS stylesheet of your project to custom your theme (Remember remove Theme from your project).

• Or check out type ThemeData from this library. Set the properties of <Theme /> and the <Theme /> will help you to set the CSS properties.

// Material Design 2
import { Theme, ThemeData } from "rmcw/dist/components";

const myCustomTheme: ThemeData = {
 ...
};
const myCustomDarkTheme: ThemeData = {
 ...
};

<Theme {...myCustomTheme} darkTheme={myCustomDarkTheme}></Theme>

// Material Design 3
import { Theme, ThemeData } from "rmcw/dist/components3";

const myCustomTheme: ThemeData = {
 ...
};
const myCustomDarkTheme: ThemeData = {
 ...
};

<Theme lightTheme={myCustomTheme} darkTheme={myCustomDarkTheme}></Theme>

Note

Material Design 2 Icon use material-icons and Material Design 3 Icon use material-symbols

material-icons source files (over 100KB each font file) and material-symbols source files (over 3MB each font file) is too large . So rmcw no longer import material-icons and material-symbols. You should import the font source files manually in your own source file.

import "material-icons/iconfont/material-icons.css"; // import material-icons

import "material-symbols/outlined.css"; // import material-symbols outlined style, for OutlinedIcon (default style for material icon)
import "material-symbols/rounded.css"; // import material-symbols round style, for RoundedIcon
import "material-symbols/sharp.css"; // import material-symbols sharp style, for SharpIcon

Check out https://fonts.google.com/icons for available icons.

Sass bundle issue *

Recently you may receive warning message from sass. Just set your project sass version to 1.77.6 (in dependencies or devDependencies). The Material Design 2 sass file will not be supported by sass 2.0. It has no effect on Material Design 3.

Caution

Before version 0.4.0, the build target is es5.

Version 0.4.0, the build target is esnext. You should use some bundle tool to help your bundle this project code into your own project (like esbuild). Set your tsconfig file "module": "ESNext" and build system (like vite config file build.target) to convert your code to target platform compatible code.

Why esnext? Using esnext to compile this project and preform minimal transpiling. This can product less redundant code and reduce the package size for download.

Development requirement

If you use webpack, it require sass loader to bundle [.scss] file into project (the project that come from "create-react-app" script already have sass loader).

If you use vite, nothing is required to do.
