Hello Kartik,

I suggest you add the material theme option to your widgets (example in Select2 theme option)

Not sure on this. Can you submit a PR?

Here you can see an implementation of material design for bootstrap.

@karmac2015 That's one library, there's also MDBootstrap which whilst not as popular just yet, seems to be much more extensive.

@kartik-v I've just started a project using MaterializedCss. It's pretty good and not based on bootstrap, but proving impossible to use these widgets outside of bootstrap. Do you think it is practical/possible to develop widgets in the future independent of a framework (like bootstrap)?

After using materializedcss, I don't really want to go back to bootstrap when using Material Design mainly because it's just so fast, lightweight and very simple out of the box.. (see more here) but I might have to do so (just because of your widgets!)

Yes this can be begun as a variation framework for all widgets to work with different themes... feel free to start as a pull request. The starting point is yii2-krajee-base.

Will dig in and add my thoughts as and when I get time.

friek108 commented 7 years ago

Not sure what the best approach would be. From some brief thinking, some of the options could be:

Create a new yii2-krajee-base and new widgets based on a particular framework (eg. materializedcss). This would be separate to the current bootstrap based widgets.
Create universal widgets adaptable across different libraries (although this may be hard to say the least given the different js libraries and html syntax used)
Expand on a library like yii2-materializecss. It has a lot of room for enhancement.
Ignore materializedcss and other frameworks and use bootstrap material design libraries like those mentioned.

Also to consider is the priority of something like this for most yii2 users.
