Prerequisites

Before starting 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 terminal:

Terminal

        
            
          npm i mdb-ui-kit

Importing JS modules

You can import the entire library or just individual modules:

JavaScript

        
            
          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:

SCSS

        
            
          @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.

You can significantly speed up the process of creating a new project based on Webpack using our Starter.
