• Follow the Material You design
• Complete implementation of Material You components
• Keyboard accessibility
• Support both controlled and uncontrolled

[!WARNING]
Working in progress, API is unstable and can be changed in any time.
For production, you may want use the official material web component library or the MDUI library.

This is an experimental project, (best) browser support:
Chrome>=105, Safari>=15.4, Firefox>=121

The recommended browser is Chrome>=119

Installation

npm install soda-material

import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client'
import 'soda-material/dist/style.css' // Note that you MUST import the style
import { Button } from 'soda-material'

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(
    <React.StrictMode>
        <Button variant="outlined">Button</Button>
    </React.StrictMode>,
)

If bundle size is your concern, it's also possible to import only the specific component.

import 'soda-material/dist/style.css' // Still need to import the style in some where
import { Button } from 'soda-material/dist/components/button'
import { Select } from 'soda-material/dist/composition/Select'

export default function App() {
    return (
        <>
            <Button variant="text">Button</Button>
            <Select options={['one', 'two', 'three']}></Select>
        </>
    )
}

Next.js is also supported out of the box.

[!TIP] This library is designed to maintain a small footprint, making it easy to integrate with other libraries in the ecosystem. For instance, it pairs well with Tailwind CSS, although this does not depend on it.

Documentation

See: https://soda.js.org

[!IMPORTANT]
Only components defined in the Material Design Docs will be put into src/components directory, these components do NOT include heavy logic.
Other necessary components or helpers can be found at src/composition directory.

[!NOTE]
Most components in src/components forward ref attribute for library interactivity.
If has, it will be the root DOM node of the entire component.
If not, it will be documented and will be checked if you use typescript.

TODO

• [ ] More ARIA support

• [ ] More customizable CSS vars

Development

npm install
npm run storybook

Naming convention:

• A .tsx file with a capitalized beginning is a react component (exports the same name, no default export)
• A .scss file will use hyphen to separate component name in the file name
• In any css code, use underscore to separate component name, use hyphen to separate name segments
