A Material Design component library and layout engine for FramerJS to accelerate prototyping with native-feeling components.
Material Design Kit for FramerJS is a prototyping toolkit that provides a complete Material Design component library and layout engine for Framer. It solves the problem of building high-quality, device-aware Material Design prototypes quickly by offering pre-built, customizable components and a smart layout system that adapts to different screen sizes.
UI/UX designers and prototypers working in Framer who need to create authentic Material Design experiences for Android apps or cross-platform projects following Material guidelines.
Developers choose this kit because it dramatically reduces prototyping time with production-ready Material components, ensures design consistency with built-in Material resources, and provides a constraint-based layout system that makes prototypes responsive across devices without manual adjustments.
Material Design Kit for FramerJS is a comprehensive module that brings Google's Material Design system into the Framer prototyping environment. It enables designers and developers to create high-fidelity, interactive prototypes that look and feel like native Android applications, significantly speeding up the design process while maintaining design system consistency.
The kit is designed to make implementing Material Design components feel native to Framer's workflow, allowing creators to focus on unique interactions rather than rebuilding foundational UI elements from scratch.

Offers pre-built Material Design components like App Bars, Dialogs, and Snackbars that behave like native Framer layers, saving significant rebuild time.
Uses constraint-based layout with density-independent pixels (dp) for consistent positioning across devices, as detailed in the Dynamic Layout section.
Automatically adjusts prototypes to match actual device screen sizes in full-screen browsers, eliminating white space issues without manual tweaks.
Includes full Material Design color palette and icon library via m.color() and m.Icon, streamlining styling and theming.
Designed to feel native to Framer's workflow, with components accepting Framer properties and constraints seamlessly for intuitive use.
Requires adding 14 separate CoffeeScript files to the modules folder, which is cumbersome and error-prone, as noted in the Setup section.
Entirely written in CoffeeScript, creating a barrier for developers accustomed to JavaScript or modern ES6 syntax in Framer.
The layout engine has vague warnings about setting too many opposing constraints, potentially leading to unpredictable behavior if misused.
Tied to Framer Studio and older Framer versions, with no clear mention of compatibility with Framer X or community-driven extensions.
