Material Components for Flutter — now part of Flutter SDK

Historical source: material-components/material-components-flutter · archived 2023-11-30 Current path: package:flutter/material bundled in Flutter SDK — see flutter-material skill

Status context

This standalone library was consolidated into Flutter's main SDK on 2023-11-30. Material Design components for Flutter now live in package:flutter/material, maintained as part of Flutter itself. No external dependency is needed.

Why consolidated?

• Reduces external dependencies
• Tighter integration with Flutter's rendering pipeline
• Material 3 (Material You) adopted universally in the SDK

Migration

If your project still references this standalone package, remove it. The components are already in Flutter:

# Remove from pubspec.yaml if present
dependencies:
  material_components_flutter: ^X.Y.Z   # remove

Flutter's built-in Material is already imported via:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

// All Material components available here:
MaterialApp(...)
Scaffold(...)
AppBar(...)
FilledButton(...)
// etc.

See flutter-material skill for complete usage.

What was in this library (historical)

Essentially the same components that are now in package:flutter/material:

• Buttons, app bars, navigation bars/rails/drawers
• Cards, chips, dialogs, bottom sheets, snackbars
• Text fields, checkboxes, radios, switches, sliders
• Progress indicators, date/time pickers
• Material 3 color system, typography, shape tokens

Guidance

• Don't add material_components_flutter to pubspec.yaml for new projects — use the SDK-bundled version
• Tutorials referencing the standalone package are outdated; the APIs are the same but the import path differs

Pre-flight checklist (for Flutter projects)

- [ ] pubspec.yaml does NOT reference material_components_flutter
- [ ] Using package:flutter/material (built-in) for Material widgets
- [ ] ThemeData.useMaterial3: true (M3 default in recent Flutter)
- [ ] ColorScheme.fromSeed for theming
- [ ] See flutter-material skill for complete usage
