Materialize for Yii2

This is the current, actively developed branch which is implementing Materialize version 1.0 and thus breaking backwards compatibility.

This package integrates the Materialize CSS framework into Yii2. Materialize is a modern responsive front-end framework based on Material Design.

See official documentation for detailed information.

Have a look at the official demo page to see the repo in action (needs adaption to v3)

Current Materialize version implemented: 1.0.0.

Installation

The preferred way of installation is through Composer. If you don't have Composer you can get it here: https://getcomposer.org/

You also should install the Composer Asset Plugin to handle NPM and Bower assets:

$ composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.4"

Or you can make use of Asset Packagist: https://asset-packagist.org/

To install the package add the following to the require section of your composer.json:

composer require alvarolordelo/yii2-materialize: "dev-master"

"require": {
    "alvarolordelo/yii2-materialize": "dev-master"
},

Usage

To load the Materialize CSS files integrate the MaterializeAsset into your app. Two ways to achieve this is to register the asset in the main layout:

// @app/views/layouts/main.php

\alvarolordelo\yii2materialize\assets\MaterializeAsset::register($this);

// further code

or as a dependency in your app wide AppAsset.php

// @app/assets/AppAsset.php

public $depends = [
    'alvarolordelo\yii2materialize\assets\MaterializeAsset',
    // more dependencies
];

Sample layout

There are two sample layouts files included in the package. You can use this file to get inspiration for your own layout or replace the respective views/layouts/main.php with the file provided.

You can find the samples of layout file in src/layout/main-starter.php and src/layout/main-parallax.php coded from materialize website DEMO.

Gii support

If you are creating your CRUD controller and view files using Gii you can get materialized view files by integrating the adapted Gii templates.

// @app/config/main-local.php

$config['modules']['gii'] = [
    'class' => 'yii\gii\Module',      
    'allowedIPs' => ['127.0.0.1', '::1', '192.168.0.*', '192.168.178.20'],  
    'generators' => [
        'crud' => [
            'class' => 'yii\gii\generators\crud\Generator',
            'templates' => [ // setting materializecss templates
                'materialize' => '@vendor/alvarolordelo/yii2-materialize/src/gii-templates/generators/crud/materialize',
            ]
        ]
    ],
];

You can copy those templates to any location you wish for further customization. Make sure you adapt the path accordingly in your config.
