Lightweight Material Theme razor components for Blazor

Material.Blazor is a lightweight Material Theme web development platform component library for ASP.NET Blazor. It is rigorously faithful to the Material Theme's design philosophy, markup and code usage. Material Theme has very specific and detailed guidance showing web designers how to build web apps with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Since Blazor is not directly supported, Blazor developers either need to roll their own components or use a component library such as Material.Blazor.
