aurelia-mdl-components

Aurelia components for Material Design Lite.

Depends on genadis/aurelia-mdl.

Lots of components are already implemented, but there is still work to be done. Contributions would be very appreciated! Help needed with development of new components and with implementing tests (as mentioned below).

##Usage

The components are custom elements/attributes that use aurelia-mdl to upgrade the static [MDL]((http://www.getmdl.io).

The components are organized in directories under src/components similar to MDL. All the components are registered as globalResources and can be used in the views without <require>.

For example:

<template>

  <p mdl-text="title" mdl-typography="align:center; color-class:grey-600;">
      Below is a raised MDL button with ripple effect and primary color
  </p>
  <mdl-button ripple.bind="true" type="raised" color-class="primary" text="My Button"></mdl-button>
    
</template>

Install

Aurelia CLI

Install the package:

npm install aurelia-mdl-components --save

Add package configuration to aurelia.json:

 "dependencies": [
          {
            "name": "encapsulated-mdl",
            "path": "../node_modules/encapsulated-mdl/dist",
            "main": "material.min",
            "resources": [
              "material.blue_grey-red.min.css"
            ]
          },
          {
            "name": "aurelia-mdl",
            "path": "../node_modules/aurelia-mdl/dist/amd",
            "main": "index",
            "deps": ["encapsulated-mdl"]
          },
          "extend",
          {
            "name": "aurelia-mdl-components",
            "path": "../node_modules/aurelia-mdl-components/dist/amd",
            "main": "index",
            "deps": ["aurelia-mdl", "extend"],
            "resources": [
              "components/css/*.css",
              "components/**/*.html"
            ]
          }
        ]

Notice the resources in encapsulated-mdl, add your favorite style.

In your app.hml (or wherever):

<require from="encapsulated-mdl/material.blue_grey-red.min.css"></require>

And in manual bootstrapping:

aurelia.use.plugin('aurelia-mdl-components');

No need to include aurelia.use.plugin('aurelia-mdl'); as it's already included by aurelia-mdl-components.

JSPM

In your project install the plugin via jspm with following command

  $ jspm install npm:aurelia-mdl-components

Make sure you use manual bootstrapping.

Update your bootstrapping:

export function configure(aurelia) {
  aurelia.use
    .standardConfiguration();

  aurelia.use.plugin('aurelia-mdl-components');

  aurelia.start().then(a => a.setRoot());
}

No need to include aurelia.use.plugin('aurelia-mdl'); as it's already included by aurelia-mdl-components.

Include material design css:

      <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://storage.googleapis.com/code.getmdl.io/1.0.0/material.indigo-pink.min.css">

or

      <link rel="stylesheet" href="../jspm_packages/github/genadis/encapsulated-mdl@2.0.0/material.amber-pink.min.css">

or

  <require from="encapsulated-mdl/material.amber-pink.min.css"></require>

Notice: you should have the dependency defined in package.json, something like "encapsulated-mdl": "^1.2.0".

Use the MDL components.

Building The Code

To build the code, follow these steps.

1. Ensure that NodeJS is installed. This provides the platform on which the build tooling runs.
2. From the project folder, execute the following command:

npm install

3. Ensure that Gulp is installed. If you need to install it, use the following command:

npm install -g gulp
npm install gulp

4. To build the code, you can now run:

gulp build

5. You will find the compiled code in the dist folder, available in three module formats: AMD, CommonJS and ES6.

Running The Tests

Aurelia Testing is integrated as part of the plugin.

The tests are located under test/unit/....

At the moment no tests are implemented. Contributions would be very appreciated!

Please refer to Aurelia documentation, for examples please refer to aurelia-mdl

To run the unit tests, first ensure that you have followed the steps above in order to install all dependencies and successfully build the library. Once you have done that, proceed with these additional steps:

1. Ensure that the Karma CLI is installed. If you need to install it, use the following command:

npm install -g karma-cli

2. Ensure that jspm is installed. If you need to install it, use the following commnand:

npm install -g jspm

3. Install the client-side dependencies with jspm:

jspm install

4. You can now run the tests with this command:

karma start
