react-md is a free React component library for building web interfaces with Sass and SCSS.
What react-md is
react-md is a free React component library for building web interfaces with Sass and SCSS. It provides more than 100 components, over 60 hooks, and 40 utilities, including layouts for fixed headers, navigation panels, and main content areas. The styling follows Material Design and can be configured during compilation with Sass variables or at runtime through Sass functions and mixins. Color customization automatically updates colors to meet a minimum contrast ratio. Complex widgets follow W3C ARIA authoring practices for screen-reader access and keyboard movement. The default theme uses #2196f3 and #ff9100 as primary and secondary colors, with Roboto as the default font. Icons can come from custom artwork, SVG components in @react-md/material-icons, or Material Symbols. Installation requires React and ReactDOM v19 or above, plus @react-md/core and sass. Documentation covers npm, pnpm, yarn, and Next.js font setup.
