The first UI Kit for Bootstrap 5! Using Material Design 2.0

Bootstrap 5

Bootstrap's first alpha was officially released on June 16, 2020.

Along with the new version of the most popular HTML, CSS, and JS library, there were most anticipated changes released - jQuery was removed & the project switched to plain JavaScript. However, this is only the beginning of changes

You may learn more about the changes implemented into v.5 with this video


MDB 5 alpha

Just a few days after the release of the new Bootstrap version, the first UI Kit for Bootstrap 5 using Material Design 2.0 was released!

What are the key features of the MDB 5 UI Kit? The most important is simplicity and ease of use, and we owe it to:

  • Latest Bootstrap 5 & Material Design 2.0
  • 500+ material UI components
  • Super simple, 1-minute installation
  • Detailed docs & multiple practical examples
  • Lots of tutorials
  • Plenty of free templates
  • Plain javascript (but works also with jQuery)
  • Huge and active community
  • MIT license - free for personal & commercial use

Could you give me the highlight points about why Bootstrap 5 with MD is worth choosing over other frameworks? I have a feeling I could get some of that from the video you linked but its 85 minutes long and I have a work-induced short attention span :)

Currently I use Material-UI with React for ref.

From a React developer perspective, the UI framework I had the best success with is Semantic UI React. I tried Material UI React for a while but I found it to be way less intuitive. I used to write style for all of my components in plain CSS or SCSS but I have been way more productive since I stopped reinventing the wheel for each and every button or menu I want to create. I'm wondering what UI framework do you guys use with React?

I've tried Material UI, Semantic UI and ant.design. Out of the three Semantic UI was the most comfortable to work with. Haven't really used bootstrap in React, but for static sites its my go-to.

Hate's a bit of a strong word for jQuery? It revolutionised JavaScript.

None of the text entries seem to work on mobile, tried in both Firefox nightly and Chrome on Android.
Hopefully that's just a bug with their demo site and not the kit itself!

Thanks for the report ❤️ We'll check and fix it, but if you can provide more details, it would be easier for us to diagnose the problem :)

However, because this is the alpha version, errors may occur up to the stable version & we really appreciate it when any bug is reported to us!

It looks like focus is pulled away from the text input when you try to tap into it.

Happy to provide more info if required!
