What is Bootstrap Typography?
Bootstrap Typography is a content element that helps you with text on your website including global settings, headings, body text, lists, and more.
Installation
Manual installation (zip package)
To use the component, you first need to install the MDB 5 Free package
MDB CLI
Watch our Quick Start Tutorial to discover and use the full potential of MDB 5 and MDB CLI
NPM
Prerequisites
Before starting the project make sure to install Node LTS (12.x.x recommended).
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.
Webpack integration
You can significantly speed up the process of creating a new project based on Webpack using our Starter.
CDN
Installation via CDN is one of the easiest methods of integrating MDB UI KIT with your project. Just copy the latest compiled JS script tag and CSS link tag from cdnjs to the application.
Don't forget to add also Font Awesome and Roboto font if you need. Here's an example code:
CSS
<!-- Font Awesome -->
<link
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700&display=swap"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- MDB -->
<link
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
JS
<!-- MDB -->
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.js"
></script>
Getting started
Global settings:
MDB sets basic global display, typography, and link styles. When more control is needed, check out the textual utility classes.
For a more inclusive and accessible type scale, we assume the browser default root
font-size(typically 16px) so visitors can customize their browser defaults as needed.Use the
$font-family-base, $font-size-base, and$line-height-baseattributes as our typographic base applied to the<body>.Set the global link color via
$link-color.Use
$body-bgto set a background-color on the<body>(#fffby default).
These styles can be found within _reboot.scss, and the global variables are defined in _variables.scss. Make sure to set $font-size-base in rem.
Customization
Lead
Make a paragraph stand out by adding .lead.
<p class="lead">
Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. Duis mollis, est
non commodo luctus.
</p>
Styled headings
.h1 through .h6 classes are also available, for when you want to match the font styling of a heading but cannot use the associated HTML element.
<p class="h1">h1. MDB heading</p>
<p class="h2">h2. MDB heading</p>
<p class="h3">h3. MDB heading</p>
<p class="h4">h4. MDB heading</p>
<p class="h5">h5. MDB heading</p>
<p class="h6">h6. MDB heading</p>
