A set of UI components, in the purpose of introducing Material Design to apps built with React Native, quickly and painlessly.

Getting Started

First, cd to your RN project directory, and install RNMK through the command npm i -S react-native-material-kit.

iOS

1. Add node_modules/react-native-material-kit/iOS/RCTMaterialKit.xcodeproj to your xcode project, usually under the Libraries group
2. Add libRCTMaterialKit.a (from Products under RCTMaterialKit.xcodeproj) to build target's Linked Frameworks and Libraries list

Option: Using CocoaPods

Assuming you have CocoaPods installed, create a PodFile like this in your app's project directory. You can leave out the modules you don't need.

xcodeproj 'path/to/YourProject.xcodeproj/'

pod 'React', :subspecs => ['Core', 'RCTText', 'RCTWebSocket'], :path => 'node_modules/react-native'
pod 'react-native-material-kit', :path => 'node_modules/react-native-material-kit'

post_install do |installer|
  target = installer.pods_project.targets.select{|t| 'React' == t.name}.first
  phase = target.new_shell_script_build_phase('Run Script')
  phase.shell_script = "if nc -w 5 -z localhost 8081 ; then\n  if ! curl -s \"http://localhost:8081/status\" | grep -q \"packager-status:running\" ; then\n    echo \"Port 8081 already in use, packager is either not running or not running correctly\"\n    exit 2\n  fi\nelse\n  open $SRCROOT/../node_modules/react-native/packager/launchPackager.command || echo \"Can't start packager automatically\"\nfi"
end

Now run pod install. This will create an Xcode workspace containing all necessary native files, including react-native-material-kit. From now on open YourProject.xcworkspace instead of YourProject.xcodeproject in Xcode. Because React Native's iOS code is now pulled in via CocoaPods, you also need to remove the React, RCTImage, etc. subprojects from your app's Xcode project, in case they were added previously.

Android

1. JDK 7+ is required
2. Add the following snippet to your android/settings.gradle:

include ':RNMaterialKit'
project(':RNMaterialKit').projectDir = file('../node_modules/react-native-material-kit/android')

1. Add compile project(':RNMaterialKit') to your android/app/build.gradle
2. Import com.github.xinthink.rnmk.ReactMaterialKitPackage and register it to the ReactInstanceManager, in your MainActivity (or equivalent):

mReactInstanceManager = ReactInstanceManager.builder()
    .setApplication(getApplication())
    ...
    .addPackage(new MainReactPackage())
    .addPackage(new ReactMaterialKitPackage())
    ...
    .build();

Finally, you're good to go, feel free to require react-native-material-kit in your JS files.

Have fun! 🤘

Buttons

Apply Material Design Buttons with a few lines of code using predefined builders, which comply with the Material Design Lite default theme.

// colored button with default theme (configurable)
const ColoredRaisedButton = MKButton.coloredButton()
  .withText('BUTTON')
  .withOnPress(() => {
    console.log("Hi, it's a colored button!");
  })
  .build();

...
<ColoredRaisedButton/>

And you can definitely build customized buttons from scratch.

with builder:

const CustomButton = new MKButton.Builder()
  .withBackgroundColor(MKColor.Teal)
  .withShadowRadius(2)
  .withShadowOffset({width:0, height:2})
  .withShadowOpacity(.7)
  .withShadowColor('black')
  .withOnPress(() => {
    console.log('hi, raised button!');
  })
  .withTextStyle({
    color: 'white',
    fontWeight: 'bold',
  })
  .withText('RAISED BUTTON')
  .build();

...
<CustomButton/>

the jsx equivalent:

<MKButton
  backgroundColor={MKColor.Teal}
  shadowRadius={2}
  shadowOffset={{width:0, height:2}}
  shadowOpacity={.7}
  shadowColor="black"
  onPress={() => {
    console.log('hi, raised button!');
  }}
  >
  <Text pointerEvents="none"
        style={{color: 'white', fontWeight: 'bold',}}>
    RAISED BUTTON
  </Text>
</MKButton>

For this time, Shadows are unavailable on Android

Why builders? See the ‘Builder vs. configuration object’ discussion.

Cards

Apply Card Style with only few styles !.

const MK = require('react-native-material-kit');
const {
  MKCardStyles
} = MK;

<View style={MKCardStyles.card}>
  <Image source={{uri : base64Icon}} style={MKCardStyles.image}/>
  <Text style={MKCardStyles.title}>Welcome</Text>
  <Text style={MKCardStyles.content}>
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
    Mauris sagittis pellentesque lacus eleifend lacinia...
  </Text>
  <View style={MKCardStyles.menu}>{menu}</View>
  <Text style={MKCardStyles.action}>My Action</Text>
</View>

👉 example code

Loading

MDL Loading components.

Progress bar

<mdl.Progress
  style={styles.progress}
  progress={0.2}
  />

👉 props reference and example code

Spinner

<mdl.Spinner/>

👉 props reference and example code

Sliders

MDL Slider components.

<mdl.Slider style={styles.slider}/>
…
const SliderWithValue = mdl.Slider.slider()
  .withStyle(styles.slider)
  .withMin(10)
  .withMax(100)
  .build();
…
<SliderWithValue
  ref=“sliderWithValue”
  onChange={(curValue) => this.setState({curValue})}
  />

Text Fields

Built-in textfields, which comply with Material Design Lite.

// textfield with default theme (configurable)
const Textfield = MKTextField.textfield()
  .withPlaceholder('Text...')
  .withStyle(styles.textfield)
  .build();

...
<Textfield/>

Customizing textfields through builder:

const ColoredTextfield = mdl.Textfield.textfield()
  .withPlaceholder(‘Text…’)
  .withStyle(styles.textfield)
  .withTintColor(MKColor.Lime)
  .withTextInputStyle({color: MKColor.Orange})
  .build();
...
<CustomTexfield/>

the jsx equivalent:

<MKTextField
  tintColor={MKColor.Lime}
  textInputStyle={{color: MKColor.Orange}}
  placeholder=“Text…”
  style={styles.textfield}/>

👉 props reference and example code

Toggles

Icon toggle & Switch

Icon toggle

<MKIconToggle
  checked={true}
  onCheckedChange={this._onIconChecked}
  onPress={this._onIconClicked}
  >
  <Text pointerEvents="none"
        style={styles.toggleTextOff}>Off</Text>
  <Text state_checked={true}
        pointerEvents="none"
        style={[styles.toggleText, styles.toggleTextOn]}>On</Text>
</MKIconToggle>

The two Text tags here, similar to State List in Android development, which can give you the flexibility to decide what content and how it is shown for each state of the toggle. For example, you can use react-native-icons here, or any other sophisticated contents.

👉 props reference and example code

Switch

<mdl.Switch style={styles.appleSwitch}
          onColor="rgba(255,152,0,.3)"
          thumbOnColor={MKColor.Orange}
          rippleColor="rgba(255,152,0,.2)"
          onPress={() => console.log('orange switch pressed')}
          onCheckedChange={(e) => console.log('orange switch checked', e)}
/>

👉 props reference and example code

Radio button

  constructor() {
    super();
    this.radioGroup = new MKRadioButton.Group();
  }
  ...
  <MKRadioButton
    checked={true}
    group={this.radioGroup}
  />

About

This project began with porting MaterialKit, thanks @nghialv for the great work!👍🖖

But before long, I decided to rewrite all the components in JSX, with no or limited help of native code, and the rewriting is in progress.

And lastly, it’s the very beginning of the project, lots of work to be done, contributions are welcome!🎉🍻
