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 rnpm . If you don't have rnpm, you can install RNMK from npm with the command npm i -S react-native-material-kit
and link it manually (see below).
NOTICE:
react-native-material-kit >= 0.4.0 only supports react-native >= 0.40.0
react-native-material-kit < 0.4.0 only supports react-native < 0.40.0
iOS
-
React Native < 0.29 (Using rnpm)
rnpm install react-native-material-kit
-
React Native >= 0.29
npm install -S react-native-material-kit
react-native link react-native-material-kit
Manually
- Add
node_modules/react-native-material-kit/iOS/RCTMaterialKit.xcodeproj
to your xcode project, usually under theLibraries
group - Add
libRCTMaterialKit.a
(fromProducts
underRCTMaterialKit.xcodeproj
) to build target'sLinked Frameworks and Libraries
list
CocoaPods
Option: UsingAssuming 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
-
React Native < 0.29 (Using rnpm)
rnpm install react-native-material-kit
-
React Native >= 0.29
npm install -S react-native-material-kit
react-native link react-native-material-kit
Manually
- JDK 7+ is required
- Add the following snippet to your
android/settings.gradle
:
include ':RNMaterialKit'
project(':RNMaterialKit').projectDir = file('../node_modules/react-native-material-kit/android')
- Declare the dependency in your
android/app/build.gradle
dependencies {
...
compile project(':RNMaterialKit')
}
- Import
com.github.xinthink.rnmk.ReactMaterialKitPackage
and register it in yourMainActivity
(or equivalent, RN >= 0.32 MainApplication.java):
@Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
return Arrays.asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
new ReactMaterialKitPackage()
);
}
Manual Installation Issues
If you experience any trouble manually installing react-native-material-kit
on Android,
you should be able to safely skip it.
Finally, you're good to go, feel free to require react-native-material-kit
in your JS files.
Have fun! π€

Components
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>

Why builders? See the βBuilder vs. configuration objectβ discussion.
Cards
Apply Card Style
with only few styles !.
import {
getTheme,
...
} from 'react-native-material-kit';
const theme = getTheme();
<View style={theme.cardStyle}>
<Image source={{uri : base64Icon}} style={theme.cardImageStyle} />
<Text style={theme.cardTitleStyle}>Welcome</Text>
<Text style={theme.cardContentStyle}>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
Mauris sagittis pellentesque lacus eleifend lacinia...
</Text>
<View style={theme.cardMenuStyle}>{menu}</View>
<Text style={theme.cardActionStyle}>My Action</Text>
</View>

<Textfield />
Customizing textfields through builder:
const CustomTextfield = mdl.Textfield.textfield()
.withPlaceholder("Text...")
.withStyle(styles.textfield)
.withTintColor(MKColor.Lime)
.withTextInputStyle({color: MKColor.Orange})
.build();

Toggles
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.

Switch
<mdl.Switch

rippleColor: `rgba(${MKColor.RGBTeal},.15)`,
}});

group={this.radioGroup}
/>
You can customize the styles by changing the global theme, which affects all radio buttons across the whole app.
setTheme({radioStyle: {
fillColor: `rgba(${MKColor.RGBTeal},.8)`,
