# panel-material-ui — An extension to bring MaterialUI components to Panel.

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 1.5M/mo

## What it is and what it does

Panel Material UI is an extension that adapts Material Design components for use within Panel, a Python framework for building dashboards and web applications. It provides a collection of styled widgets—buttons, sliders, cards, dialogs, and others—that follow Material UI's design principles while maintaining Panel's reactive programming model and layout system.

The package is designed to let you build modern, cohesive dashboards with minimal styling effort. It includes built-in support for theming (colors, typography, spacing) and dark mode, with the ability to define themes at a parent level and have them cascade to child components. All components expose a familiar Panel API, so developers already using Panel can adopt Material UI components without learning a new interface.

Use it for:

- Build modern dashboards with Material Design styling without writing custom CSS.
- Create applications that support seamless light/dark mode toggling for end users.
- Develop data applications with a consistent, professional look using Material UI components.
- Prototype interactive UIs quickly using familiar Panel patterns with Material aesthetics.
- Apply global theming across multiple Panel applications via theme inheritance.

Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is BSD-licensed. It fills a clear use case—bringing Material Design to Panel dashboards—and is suitable for production use (Development Status: Production/Stable). Install it if you want Material Design styling in Panel without custom CSS work.

## Install

pip install panel-material-ui
uv add panel-material-ui
poetry add panel-material-ui

## Installing panel-material-ui

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution. Active maintenance with a release 3 days old and recent commits. Supports current Python versions (3.10–3.14).

License in practice: BSD license is permissive; you may use, modify, and distribute this package with minimal restrictions, provided you include the license notice.

Quickstart:

pip install panel-material-ui

import panel as pn
from panel_material_ui import Button

pn.extension('material')
button = Button(name='Click me')
pn.serve(button)

Requires Python 3.10 or later. Panel must be installed and the 'material' extension loaded via pn.extension().

Verify before relying:

- Whether all Material UI components are fully ported or only a subset is available.
- Performance characteristics when rendering large numbers of Material UI components.
- Compatibility guarantees between panel-material-ui and upstream Panel or Material UI releases.
