Material Components for the web (MDC Web) helps developers execute [Material Design](https://www.material.io).
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.
-Material Components for the web is the successor to [Material Design Lite](https://getmdl.io/), and has 3 high-level goals:
-
-- Production-ready components consumable in an a-la-carte fashion
-- Best-in-class performance and adherence to the [Material Design guidelines](https://material.io/guidelines)
-- Seamless integration with other JS frameworks and libraries

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.
-**[Demos](https://material-components.github.io/material-components-web-catalog)** (updated with every release)
+Material Components for the web is the successor to [Material Design Lite](https://getmdl.io/). In addition to implementing the [Material Design guidelines](https://material.io/design), it provides more flexible theming customization, not only in terms of color, but also typography, shape, states, and more. It is also specifically [architected](docs/code/architecture.md) for adaptability to various [major web frameworks](docs/framework-wrappers.md).

-> Note: This guide assumes you have webpack configured to compile Sass into CSS. See the [getting started guide](docs/getting-started.md) for pointers on how to configure webpack.
+## Quick start
-To include the Sass files for the Material Design button, install the Node dependency:
+### Using via CDN
+```html
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
```
-npm install @material/button
-```
-
-Then import the Sass files for `@material/button` into your application. You can also use Sass mixins to customize the button:
-```scss
-@import "@material/button/mdc-button";
+> Please see [quick start demo](https://codepen.io/abhiomkar/pen/gQWarJ) on codepen for full example.
-.foo-button {
- @include mdc-button-ink-color(teal);
- @include mdc-states(teal);
-}
-```
+### Using NPM
-You also need to configure sass-loader to understand the `@material` imports used by MDC Web. Update your `webpack.config.js` by changing `{ loader: 'sass-loader' }` to:
+Install textfield node module to your project.
-```js
-{
- loader: 'sass-loader',
- options: {
- includePaths: ['./node_modules']
- }
-}
```
-
-`@material/button` has [documentation](packages/mdc-button/README.md) about the required HTML for a button. Update your application's HTML to include the MDC Button markup, and add the `foo-button` class to the element:
-
-```html
-
+npm install @material/textfield
```
-This will produce a customized Material Design button!
+#### HTML
-
+Sample usage of text field component. Please see [MDC Textfield](packages/mdc-textfield) component page for more options.
-### Include JavaScript for a component
+```html
+
+
+
+
+
+```
-> Note: This guide assumes you have webpack configured to compile ES2015 into JavaScript. See the [getting started guide](docs/getting-started.md) for pointers on how to configure webpack.
+#### CSS
-To include the ES2015 files for the Material Design ripple, install the dependency:
+Load styles required for text field component.
-```
-npm install @material/ripple
+```scss
+@import "@material/textfield/mdc-text-field";
```
-Then import the ES2015 file for @material/ripple into your application, and initialize an MDCRipple with a DOM element:
+#### JavaScript
+
+Import `MDCTextField` module to instantiate text field component.
```js
-import {MDCRipple} from '@material/ripple/index';
-const ripple = new MDCRipple(document.querySelector('.foo-button'));
+import {MDCTextField} from '@material/textfield/index';
+const textField = new MDCTextField(document.querySelector('.mdc-text-field'));
```
-> Note: Import `@material/ripple/index` if you wish to transpile MDC Web's ES2015 sources as part of your build process.
-> If your build toolchain is configured to only transpile your own sources, import `@material/ripple` instead, which will
-> reference the distributed UMD module instead.
-
-This will produce a Material Design ripple on the button!
+This'll initialize text field component on a single `.mdc-text-field` element.
-
+> Please see [quick start demo](https://stackblitz.com/edit/mdc-web-quick-start-demo) on stackblitz for full example.
