How to setup Material-UI for React with Typescript?
@types/material-ui is now available, exported from its DefinitelyTyped source.
npm install @types/material-ui --save-dev
npm install @types/react-tap-event-plugin --save-dev
Afterwards, you can do following:
import * as injectTapEventPlugin from 'react-tap-event-plugin';
// Needed for onTouchTap
// Check this repo:
// https://github.com/zilverline/react-tap-event-plugin
injectTapEventPlugin();
Then use Material UI like this:
import * as React from 'react';
import getMuiTheme from 'material-ui/styles/getMuiTheme';
import {MuiThemeProvider, lightBaseTheme} from "material-ui/styles";
const lightMuiTheme = getMuiTheme(lightBaseTheme);
class Root extends React.Component<any, any> {
render() {
return (
<MuiThemeProvider muiTheme={lightMuiTheme}>
<MyComponent/>
</MuiThemeProvider>
)
}
}
The MyComponent would consume Material UI as defined in the docs:
import RaisedButton from 'material-ui/RaisedButton';
const MyComponent = (props:MyComponentProps) => {
return (
<RaisedButton label="Default" />
)
}
export default MyComponent;

Types are now bundled directly with Material-ui so there is no need to install @types/material-ui package
.
Instead you can just install the @material-ui/core
package as normal and it should work.
