material-scss-colors v1.1.2

Material Colors as SCSS Variables

The other libraries lacked foreground (text) color information, so I wrote this. The generate.py downloads & parses Material Design guidelines's color palette in order to generate dist/_material-colors.scss.

How to use this

$color-primary: $color-blue-700;

.notice.danger {
    background-color: $color-red-700;
    color: $color-red-700-foreground;
}

Using bower

1. Add bower depency

   bower install --save material-scss-colors

2. Reference SCSS part file using relative path

   /* style.scss */
   @import '../../../bower_components/material-scss-colors/dist/material-colors';

Manually

1. Copy dist/_material-colors.scss into your project

2. Import it into your SCSS file(s)

   /* style.scss */
   @import 'material-colors';

How to update this

Note: you usually don't want to do that, except if some colors are missing from the generated file.

We're using BeautifulSoup & python-slugify to parse Google Material Guidelines:

pip install beautifulsoup4
pip install python-slugify

Once these dependencies are installed, you can run generate.py:

> python generate.py

# generated/_material-colors.scss created, containing 19 colors and 254 shades
