# Grav Materializer Plugin
Materializer is a [Grav](http://github.com/getgrav/grav) plugin that can be used as a dependency for other themes and plugins to load the [Materialize framework](http://materializecss.com). The main purpose of this plugin is to allow the Materialize theme to depend on the Materializer's CSS/JS and to allow the plugin to be updated independently of the theme itself.
Rather than using the icon font that comes with the Materialize Framework, Materializer uses a newer, expanded icon font: [Material Design Icons](http://materialdesignicons.com).
# Installation
## GPM Installation (Preferred)
The simplest way to install this plugin is via the [Grav Package Manager (GPM)](http://learn.getgrav.org/advanced/grav-gpm). From the root of your Grav install type:
bin/gpm install materializer
## Manual Installation
If for some reason you can't use GPM you can manually install this plugin. Download the zip version of this repository and unzip it under `/your/site/grav/user/plugins`. Then, rename the folder to `materializer`.
You should now have all the plugin files under:
/your/site/grav/user/plugins/materializer
# Usage
To best understand what the Materializer plugin provides, you should read through the original [Materialize framework documentation](http://materializecss.com).
## Configuration
Materializer is **enabled** but **not always loaded** by default. You can change this behavior by setting `always_load: true` in the plugin's configuration. Simply copy the `user/plugins/materializer/materializer.yaml` into `user/config/plugins/materializer.yaml` and make your modifications.
```
enabled: true # Enable / Disable this plugin
always_load: false # If set to `false` the Theme must have `public $load_materializer_plugin = true;` to add the CSS/JS
load_core_css: true # Load the core `materializer.css` CSS file
load_core_js: true # Load the core `materializer.js` JS file
mode: production # If set to `production`, load minified CSS/JS
use_cdn: false # If set to `true` use CDN instead of local files
