Material Design Lite components via mithril.js

This module provides mithril components which construct html to be used with the Material Design Lite framework. It provides a simple way to apply the needed classes to create MDL components. It spits out normal html elements, and calls componentHandler.upgradeDom() after each render pass. It is designed to work nicely with JSX (via babel or similar). Not nearly all components are supported right now. I will continue adding them when the need comes up. Your are welcome to submit pull requests :)

Basics

Some attributes will be used by all components.

The following attributes will be carried over to the topmost resulting element:

• id
• class
• config
• disabled
• all attributes beginning with on (onclick, onchange, etc.)

And these attributes all apply some classes:

• large: applies mdl-layout--large-screen-only
• ripple: applies mdl-js-ripple-effect
• active: applies is-active
• primary: applies mdl-color--primary
• primaryDark: applies mdl-color--primary-dark

Components

The following components can be imported from the module directly.

ES5

var Button = require('mithril-mdl').Button;

ES6

import {Button} from 'mithril-mdl';

You may then use them like so:

ES5

m.render(document.body, m(Button, {ripple: true, accent: true, raised: true}, 'I am a button!'));

JSX

m.render(document.body, <Button ripple accent raised>I am a button!</Button>);

Problems

• Not really reliable for partial redraws (still works, just flickering etc.), due to mdls js adding elements all over the place (or maybe me being an idiot, not sure)
