Installation

To install the React-MD library and start using it in your project, follow these steps:

npm install react-md sass

or with Yarn:

yarn add react-md sass

3. Create a src/App.scss file to include all the React-MD styles, and import the App.scss file in src/App.js:

@import 'react-md/dist/react-md';

4. Update the public/index.html file to include the Roboto font and the Material Icons font icons stylesheets from Google Fonts:

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700"
/>
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons"
/>

5. Start creating components from React-MD by updating your base src/App.js file to include some default configuration components.
