Question 1

How do I set up Material Yew in a Yew project?

Accepted Answer

Add 'material-yew' to your Cargo.toml dependencies and include the necessary HTML links for Material fonts and icons in your index.html, as outlined in the README. Then, use components like Button directly in your Yew code.

Question 2

Material Yew vs React Material UI: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Choose Material Yew if you're building with Rust and Yew for type safety and performance benefits in WebAssembly. Opt for React Material UI if you need a more mature ecosystem, larger community, and easier integration with JavaScript tools.

Question 3

Can I customize the theme or styles of Material Yew components?

Accepted Answer

Customization is limited to what the underlying Material Web Components support, typically through CSS variables or properties. You may need to refer to the Material Web Components documentation for advanced theming.

Question 4

Does Material Yew support server-side rendering with Yew?

Accepted Answer

Material Yew is designed for client-side rendering with Yew, and server-side rendering support is limited as Yew's SSR capabilities are still developing in the Rust ecosystem.

Question 5

What browsers are compatible with Material Yew?

Accepted Answer

It supports all modern browsers, as stated in the README, but legacy browsers or specific versions might require additional polyfills or fallbacks not provided out-of-the-box.

Question 6

How do I add custom icons instead of Material Icons?

Accepted Answer

Material Yew is optimized for Material Icons via CDN imports; for custom icons, you might need to override styles or extend components manually, as the library doesn't offer built-in support for alternative icon sets.
