Helpers
Materialize is a modern responsive CSS framework based on Material Design by Google.
Alignment
We have easy to use classes to help you align your content.
Vertical Align
You can easily vertically center things by adding the class
valign-wrapper to the container holding the items you want to vertically align.
This should be vertically aligned
<div class="valign-wrapper">
<h5>This should be vertically aligned</h5>
</div>
Text Align
These classes are for horizontally aligning content:
.left-align, .right-align and .center-align.
This should be left aligned
This should be right aligned
This should be center aligned
<div>
<h5 class="left-align">This should be left aligned</h5>
</div>
<div>
<h5 class="right-align">This should be right aligned</h5>
</div>
<div>
<h5 class="center-align">This should be center aligned</h5>
</div>
Quick Floats
Quickly float things by adding the class
left or right to the element. !important is used to avoid
specificity issues.
<div class="left">...</div>
<div class="right">...</div>

Formatting
These classes help format various content on your site.
Truncation
To truncate long lines of text in an ellipsis, add the class
truncate to the tag which contains the text. See an example below of a header being truncated inside a card.
This is an extremely long title that will be truncated
<h4 class="truncate">This is an extremely long title that will be truncated</h4>
Hover
The hoverable is a hover class that adds an animation for box shadow as seen below. It can be used on most elements, but meant
for use on cards.
Card Title
I am a very simple card. I am good at containing small bits of information. I am convenient because I require little markup to use effectively.
<div class="card-panel hoverable"> Hoverable Card Panel</div>
Browser Defaults
Because we override many of the default browser styles and elements, we provide the
.browser-default class to revert these elements to their original state.
| Name of Element | Reverted Style |
|---|---|
| UL | Bullet points |
| SELECT | Browser default select element |
| INPUT | Browser default input |
