Build beautiful, usable products using Material Components for NativeScript.
Ensure your Android Theme is inheriting from MaterialComponents
.
Inside App_resources/android/res/values/styles.xml
replace all occurences of Theme.AppCompat
with Theme.MaterialComponents
You can see an example in the demo-vue app.
Defining the theme and the default colors must be done a bit differently on iOS and Android
- Android: You must set the colors through android Style
- iOS: You must set the colors programmatically at your app startup
import { themer } from '@nativescript-community/ui-material-core';
if (global.isIOS) {
themer.setPrimaryColor('#bff937');
themer.setAccentColor('#ff8a39');
themer.setSecondaryColor('#a830d7');
}
Through this component you can apply elevation
or rippleColor
to any View
. To enable that feature your must "install" the mixins. Make sure you do it before creating any view.
import { installMixins } from '@nativescript-community/ui-material-core';
installMixins();
Question: How to use the latest version of this plugin for iOS?
Answer: To get latest versions of Material Components for iOS (> 112.1) you will need to change Pod min version to 10.0
To do that modify or create App_Resources/iOS/Podfile
to add platform :ios, '10.0'
.
You can see an example in the demo-vue app.
Q: How to migrate to AndroidX with this plugin installed (Android only)?
A: For Material Components to work correctly with {N} 6 and AndroidX you need to update your android app theme.
Inside App_resources/android/res/values/styles.xml
replace all occurences of Theme.AppCompat
with Theme.MaterialComponents
You can see an example in the demo-vue app.
Q: What is the difference between Bottom Navigation and Bottom Navigation Bar component?
A: The Bottom Navigation Bar is a new component to draw a bottom navigation bar in material design. The Bottom Navigation component is a simple extract of the eponymous component from NativeScript, which probably will be removed in the future so this one can be used for easy transition.
Q: How can I contribute?
A:
npm i
npm run setup # this should happen for every typescript update
npm run tsc
npm run demo.ios
npm run demo.android
