material-components-web

The demo is mostly here: https://getmdl.io/ A complete new implementation has been underway since roughly the beginning of this year. They called it v2.0 of mdl and has been under heavy development. Some of their designs is pretty nice: https://github.com/material-components/material-components-w... With the linked announcement they just renamed the mdl project to "material-components-web", nothing more: https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/issues/4984 https://github.com/material-components/material-components-w... I just cloned their new repo and started the compiled demos. I see no difference in behavior/design of the new components compared to the old mdl but the architecture is much more modular and can easily be used in any JS framework.

MD often involves a fair bit of animation. If you look at the individual components, though [1], most of them (like cards) actually have no associated JS at all. Most of the other components, like the TextField (which includes JS to have things like the placeholder text swoop to a mini version above the field once you start typing) have gracefully-degrading versions. Not all of them do, however. 1. https://github.com/material-components/material-components-w...

I'm excited about this development. I'm really looking forward to a web implementation of Material Design that is not bound to Angular 1 and is production ready. I did a few projects using React + Material Design that was enabled by Material-UI component set. [0] And although Material-UI seems like a really great implementation for React, it's certainly not production ready yet. I did spend a significant amount of time fixing / messing with its code to make things work relatively smoothly. Regarding the Google's MDC-Web [1] the demos look promising, although the components seem to lack polish and animations sometimes get stuck. I hope they will push them to the point where these components will be as good as Angular Material ones.

Instructions to view the demos of material-components-web: https://github.com/material-components/material-components-w... Took me a while to find. It would be nice if this worked: https://rawgit.com/material-components/material-components-w...

Yes, it appears that the web version of these new Material Components is considered the successor to MDL. https://github.com/material-components/material-components-w...
