Installation
To install MDB UI KIT in your project easily type the following command in the terminal:
npm i mdb-ui-kit
Importing JS modules
You can import the entire library or just individual modules:
import * as mdb from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // lib
import { Input } from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // module
Importing CSS file
To import MDB stylesheet please use the following syntax:
@import '~mdb-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css';
Importing SCSS modules
You can also import individual SCSS modules. To do it properly, we recommend to copy them from the node_modules/mdb-ui-kit/src/scss location directly to your project and import in the same way as CSS files.

Don't forget to add also Font Awesome and Roboto font if you need. Here's an example code:

/>

<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.js"
></script>
Getting started
The easiest way to implement the animation is to use data-mdb-attributes. In the example below, we use the icon <i class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x"></i> and add the attributes data-mdb-toggle="animation" data-mdb-animation-reset="true" data-mdb-animation="slide-out-right" to give it animation on click.
data-mdb-toggle="animation" is an obligatory attribute for each animation.
data-mdb-animation-reset="true" lets you decide if the animation can be repeated
data-mdb-animation="slide-right" lets you specify which animation apply to the element. In the demo section you can find available animations.
<i
data-mdb-toggle="animation"
data-mdb-animation-reset="true"
data-mdb-animation="slide-right"
class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x"
></i>
Api
Usage
Via CSS class
<i class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x animation slide-out-right"></i>
Via data attributes
<i
data-mdb-toggle="animation"
data-mdb-animation="tada"
data-mdb-animation-start="onLoad"
class="fas fa-star fa-3x"
></i>
You can see more usage examples on the 📄 Animations API page
Customization
On hover
Use data-mdb-animation-start="onHover" to launch the animation on mouse hover.
<i
data-mdb-toggle="animation"
data-mdb-animation-start="onHover"
data-mdb-animation-reset="true"
data-mdb-animation="slide-right"
class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x"
></i>
Repeat animation on scroll
If you want to launch the animation every time it's reached when scrolling use data-mdb-animation-on-scroll="repeat".
<i
data-mdb-toggle="animation"
data-mdb-animation-start="onScroll"
data-mdb-animation-on-scroll="repeat"
data-mdb-animation="slide-in-left"
class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x"
></i>
Show on load
If you use animation onScroll, by default all elements are visible when the page is loaded. They disappear and begin to animate after the first scroll. You can change this by setting data-mdb-animation-show-on-load="false". However, remember that this may have a negative impact on SEO.
<i
data-mdb-toggle="animation"
data-mdb-animation-start="onScroll"
data-mdb-animation-on-scroll="repeat"
data-mdb-animation="slide-in-left"
class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x"
></i>
You can see more customization examples on the 📄 Animations documentation page
