Installation

Manual installation (zip package)

To take advantage of our Bootstrap images component and use them in your project, 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 it. 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>

Customization

Basic example

A basic example of the input field consists of the input element with a specified ID and label element connected via this ID with the input. Both elements are wrapped in .form-outline class which provides a material design look.

HTML

<div class="form-outline">
  <input type="text" id="form1" class="form-control" />
  <label class="form-label" for="form1">Example label</label>
</div>

Sizing

Set heights using classes like .form-control-lg and .form-control-sm.

HTML

<div class="form-outline">
  <input type="text" id="formControlLg" class="form-control form-control-lg" />
  <label class="form-label" for="formControlLg">Form control lg</label>
</div>

<div class="form-outline">
  <input type="text" id="formControlDefault" class="form-control" />
  <label class="form-label" for="formControlDefault">Form control default</label>
</div>

<div class="form-outline">
  <input type="text" id="formControlSm" class="form-control form-control-sm" />
  <label class="form-label" for="formControlSm">Form control sm</label>
</div>
