Idea: make material-ui exportable as bootstrap/foundation extension. about material-ui

[WRidder]

Interesting idea, especially since I was looking at combining Foundation and material design as well. Any suggestions on how you'd approach this?

[pgs-psiemieniak]

material-bootstrap.less/sass and material-foundation.less/sass could be made which could contain imports and bindings to the variables in bootstrap and foundation.

So this file would contain some basic imports:
//Icons
@import (less)"material-design-fonticons/mdfi.css";
@import (less)"material-ui-icons/style.css";
// Core variables and mixins
@import "variables/colors.less";
@import "variables/spacing.less";
@import "variables/custom-variables.less";
@import "mixins/mixins.less";

and imports containing some fixes/bindings to bootstrap and foundation, for example:
@import "bootstrap/variables-fix.less"

and so on.

It's just a general idea so it might need some adjustments :)

Have you guys seen this? http://fezvrasta.github.io/bootstrap-material-design/

Project looks pretty good.

I think bootstrap-material-design is doing a pretty good job addressing this need and duplicating this effort is outside the scope of this project.

The problem of bootstrap-material-design is the unfriendly licence (not free for commercial projects)
