Inspiration and goals

1. Styled Components is a great way to couple components with styles.
2. Material Components is the best implementation of material design spec (it is google afterall)
3. We want a native react implementation of the above, and Styled Components gives us that power.
4. Sass Mixins can be mostly written as styled component mixins. See src/mixins/ for examples of this.

How to use

All components in this library are either:

1. Already styled components and will work when wrapping with styled()
2. Handle the className prop correctly so that wrapping with styled() will work.

Theme Provider

Similar to the Styled Components ThemeProvider (its a thin wrapper around it) except that it provides a default theme that matches material design's default theme. You can provide a custom theme here with any option from src/theme/defaultTheme.js overwritten. You can nest ThemeProviers just like with StyledComponents to overwrite portions of the theme for sections of your application

Global Style Helpers (^0.1.1-beta)

Prior to version 0.1.1-beta we injected global styles behind the scenes. In our use case this lead to us having to override these often. Styled-components v4 created a new createGlobalStyle builder that exports components. So now you can import these global styles manually and add them to your code where and if you want.

1. SMCGlobalStyles (includes the app wide styles that are typical in most material apps)
2. DrawerGlobalStyles (includes some global styles that push content around on the screen when the presence of a drawer is detected)

Component Example

Button

This component is for creating a material design button. It has props that match the documentation from Material Components

Example Implementation:

// Flat button with primary text color
<Button primary>I’m a Button</Button>
 
// Flat button with accent text color
<Button accent>I’m a Button</Button>
 
// Raised button with primary background color
<Button raised primary>I’m a Button</Button>

Decorator Example

withRipple

This is a decorator (higher order component) to add a javascript ripple effect to any element that can have a className attached to it.

const JSRippleButton = withRipple(Button);
<JSRippleButton raised primary>Test</JSRippleButton>
