material_ui_integration

Material UI Integration bridges Drupal with Google’s Material Design principles using Material-UI, a popular React component library. This module integrates responsive UI components as a Webforms element.

Introduction

Material UI Integration is a Drupal module that connects Google's Material Design with Drupal using Material-UI, a modern React component library. It empowers site builders to create visually engaging, responsive, and interactive interfaces with ease. The module includes seamless integration with Drupal Webforms, allowing Material-UI components to be added to forms and pages without custom code.

Key Features:

• Dynamic integration of Material-UI components like sliders, buttons, and more.
• Support for custom props and dynamic rendering via React.
• Admin configuration options to manage Material UI settings.

1. Place the material_ui_integration folder in web/modules/custom/.
2. Enable the module:
   

   drush en material_ui_integration

3. Clear the cache:
   

   drush cr

2. Configuration

Navigate to the settings page at Configuration → Development → Material UI Integration Settings.
