I was recently looking into libraries to use Material Design with React.js.

I found the material-ui project to be implemented less well than this one: http://sanderspies.github.io/react-material/ (though I have my reservations about the approach taken here, too -- and it's less complete).



sort by: page size:

It's far less abstract, but I really appreciate the Material Design documentation[1] that Google published. And while there may be some dissenting opinions, it's generally a good idea and read.

Personally, I'm mostly using the `material-ui`[2] package for React use, but you'll find other material based libraries for any number of frameworks and platforms. In general, I've been sticking to the overall guidelines with a few tweaks, and the responses in general for the application I'm currently working on have been incredibly positive.

I prefer material-ui [1], a material design component implementation for react. It uses react-jss with some plugins under the covers. It's been very intuitive to use the global theming combined with some options.

I wish I knew about http://www.material-ui.com/ before I started finished this project.

They are React material design components – the integration would've been much simpler (I assume – haven't tried).


Take a look at https://react-md.mlaursen.com it's the most complete and best looking Material implementation I've seen so far!

I also had my fair share of experience with all the material-ui, react-mdl, materialize and what not. None of them is production ready. Even if you used plain mdl (which is by Google) there's so much missing like select, calendar, etc


https://github.com/callemall/material-ui is a great collection of components -- there's perhaps some insight into how to make (and document!) reusable components, since the project is built to be a component library for others' use

This looks similar to http://material-ui.com, which also uses reactjs.

hmmm... looks interesting. I've struggled with quirks of frameworks implementing Material UI in React - I'm guessing mainly because the frameworks don't have a large company supported team. Will try this out.

For a material design look, I've used material-ui, mdl, and react-md. react-md is the best in my opinion. Incredibly complete and polished for being done by essentially one person. https://github.com/mlaursen/react-md

While it's not Material, Semantic UI React (http://react.semantic-ui.com/introduction) has been pretty fun to work with.

Is this kit any better than https://material-ui.com/ when using React?

I might have to try this out, too bad I didn't see this yesterday.

Settled out with trying http://ant.design/ which has actually been pretty nice as well.

Seems most React components libs are material design and I can't stand the look.


`material-ui` react component library. obscene amounts of boilerplate + every update would require refactoring the mess they made me make.

Beside the other links, I found a few react libs very useful. react-router [1] and material-ui [2].

The second one also has an example application that is a great boilerplate (if you like material ui and their work). I've been successfully using it in a couple of small apps [3, 4].

There’s also Joy UI, by one of the major react material UI vendors:

https://mui.com/joy-ui/getting-started/


I've started to create a version of it in React: http://sanderspies.github.io/react-material/

For now I wouldn't use it in production (broken build, not complete, etc.) - but it might be a start for what you want.


I saw this[1] recently by one of the guys from material-ui[2].

They're going to move to JSS.

Hi guys,

We spent the last weeks building the Material Dashboard React over the popular Material-UI framework(http://www.material-ui.com/#/).

Please check the live preview here: https://creativetimofficial.github.io/material-dashboard-rea... and if you have any issues or want to contribute on Github here: https://github.com/creativetimofficial/material-dashboard-re...

It is under MIT License, so feel free to use it in any personal/commercial projects.


I prefer https://github.com/alex3165/react-mapbox-gl over this library. It seems better maintained and documented.

@Flavius, our Material Kit React is built on top of Material-UI so it's basically the same thing at the core base, we just give more examples and people spend less time creating a page or a dashboard like this https://www.creative-tim.com/product/material-dashboard-reac....
