Svelte Material UI

Installation

To get started, install the SMUI packages you need.

npm install --save-dev @smui/button
npm install --save-dev @smui/card
# etc...

You can also use SMUI in the Svelte REPL.

SvelteKit

For SvelteKit, check out the SvelteKit instructions. Otherwise, read on.

Importing Components

Please note that these imports require a theme. See the default or custom theme below.

You will always import Svelte components from the individual packages.

<script>
  import Button from '@smui/button';
</script>

Fonts

Material uses the Roboto fonts, so be sure to include these stylesheets (or include them from a package).

<!-- Hint where we get fonts from. -->
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com" />
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin />

<!-- Roboto, and Roboto Mono fonts -->
<link
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto+Mono:ital@0;1&family=Roboto:ital,wght@0,100;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,700;0,900;1,100;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,700;1,900&display=swap"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>

Icons

The easiest way to get Material icons is the font. If you’d like to use the Material Icons font, include that, also in the head section.

<!-- Material Icons fonts -->
<link
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Material+Icons&display=swap"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>

However, you can get a greatly expanded icon library and reduce over-the-wire sizes by using the MDI library instead.

npm install --save-dev @mdi/js

You can see how to use these icons on the “Using SVGs” demo on the Icon Button demo page.

Installing a Theme

A Custom Theme

Check out the theming instructions for setting up a custom theme.

The Default Theme

You can use the prebuilt “bare.css” file from the “svelte-material-ui” package. If you use this option you can mostly customize your theme, but your theming options are more limited.

npm install --save svelte-material-ui
<!-- SMUI Styles -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/svelte-material-ui/bare.css" />

If that’s not working (probably because your dependencies aren’t copied to your build folder), you can also use a CDN. Just be sure you update the version here when you update to a new version of SMUI. This is already an outdated version, so update it now too.

<!-- SMUI Styles -->
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/bare.min.css"
/>

You can also use the “bare.css” files from the individual packages if you don’t use many components and want smaller file sizes.

A Premade Theme

There are some premade themes as well in the “svelte-material-ui” package, including dark mode versions. These are the same themes that appear on the demo site. You won’t find the CSS in the repo, because they’re not git tracked, but here’s a list.

  • themes/svelte.css
  • themes/svelte-dark.css
  • themes/material.css
  • themes/material-dark.css
  • themes/fixation.css
  • themes/fixation-dark.css
  • themes/bubblegum.css
  • themes/bubblegum-dark.css
  • themes/metro.css
  • themes/metro-dark.css
  • themes/unity.css
  • themes/unity-dark.css
npm install --save svelte-material-ui
<!-- SMUI Styles -->
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="node_modules/svelte-material-ui/themes/svelte.css"
  media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)"
/>
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="node_modules/svelte-material-ui/themes/svelte-dark.css"
  media="screen and (prefers-color-scheme: dark)"
/>

Or with a CDN. Remember to update the version!

<!-- SMUI Styles -->
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/themes/svelte.min.css"
  media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)"
/>
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/themes/svelte-dark.min.css"
  media="screen and (prefers-color-scheme: dark)"
/>

Making Your Tooling Svelte-Aware

A lot of tooling is already Svelte-aware, but if you are installing into a Rollup or Webpack project, you will need to configure its export conditions names to see Svelte libraries correctly.

Rollup

You will need to add 'svelte' to the exportConditions config of nodeResolve.

// ...
import { nodeResolve } from '@rollup/plugin-node-resolve';

export default {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    // ...
    nodeResolve({
      // ...
      exportConditions: ['svelte'],
    }),
  ],
};

Webpack

You will need to add 'svelte' to the resolve.conditionNames config.

module.exports = {
  // ...
  resolve: {
    // ...
    conditionNames: ['svelte', 'require', 'node'],
  },
};
