What is React

Just a short-note for newcomers, React is a Javascript library for building user interfaces, .. fast. This well-known JS library helps developers to compose complex UIs from small and isolated pieces of code called "reusable UI components", which present data that changes over time. To start playing with React, feel free to access below resources:

React Dashboard - Material Design

UI Vendor Notes - Material Dashboard React is a free Material-UI Admin with a fresh, new design inspired by Google's Material Design. We are very excited to introduce our take on the material concepts through an easy to use and beautiful set of components. Material Dashboard React was built over the popular Material-UI v4.1.0 framework.

Material Dashboard React makes use of light, surface, and movement. The general layout resembles sheets of paper following multiple different layers so that the depth and order are obvious. The navigation stays mainly on the left sidebar and the content is on the right inside the main panel.

Material Dashboard React comes with 5 color filter choices for both the sidebar and the card headers (blue, green, orange, red and purple) and an option to have a background image on the sidebar.

React Material - Compile Sources

To compile and start the project locally we need NodeJS and optionally GIT to download the source code from the public repository: Material Dashboard React. To install NodeJs is quite easy, just access the official NodejS website, download and execute the installer for your OS.

Compile the React Codebase

$ # Get the code$ git clone https://github.com/creativetimofficial/material-dashboard-react.git$ cd material-dashboard-react$$ # Install modules$ yarn$$ # Start the app (development mode)$ yarn start

If all goes well, this React template should be up & running in the browser.

To understand better the codebase structure, I'll drop below an ASCII chart with relevant files and directories:
