## Installation

#### Manual installation (zip package)

To take advantage of  our Bootstrap images component and use them in your project, you first need to install the [MDB 5 Free package](https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/getting-started/installation/#section-manual-installation)

_______

#### MDB CLI

Watch our [**Quick Start Tutorial**](https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/getting-started/quick-start/) to discover and use the full potential of MDB 5 and MDB CLI

_______

#### NPM

###### Prerequisites

Before starting the project make sure to install [Node LTS (12.x.x recommended)](https://nodejs.org/en/).

###### Installation

To install MDB UI KIT in your project easily type the following command in the terminal:
```terminal
npm i mdb-ui-kit 
```

###### Importing JS modules

You can import the entire library or just individual modules:
```terminal
import * as mdb from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // lib
import { Input } from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // module 
```

###### Importing CSS file

To import MDB stylesheet please use the following syntax:
```terminal
@import '~mdb-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css'; 
```

###### Importing SCSS modules

You can also import individual SCSS modules. To do it properly, we recommend to copy them from the node_modules/mdb-ui-kit/src/scss location directly to your project and import in the same way as CSS files.

###### Webpack integration

You can significantly speed up the process of creating a new project based on Webpack using our [Starter](https://github.com/mdbootstrap/mdb-webpack-starter).

__________

#### CDN

Installation via CDN is one of the easiest methods of integrating MDB UI KIT with your project. Just copy the latest compiled JS script tag and CSS link tag from [cdnjs](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/mdb-ui-kit) to the application.

Don't forget to add also Font Awesome and Roboto font if you need it. Here's an example code:

###### CSS

```css
<!-- Font Awesome -->
<link
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700&display=swap"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- MDB -->
<link
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>
```


###### JS

```javascript
<!-- MDB -->
<script
  type="text/javascript"
  src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.js"
></script>
```

________

## Customization

##### Basic example

###### HTML
```html
<div class="form-outline datetimepicker">
  <input
    type="text"
    class="form-control"
    value="22/12/2020, 14:12:56"
    id="datetimepickerExample"
  />
  <label for="datetimepickerExample" class="form-label"
    >Select Date and Time</label
  >
</div>
```
##### Inline version

You can use inline version with option `data-mdb-inline`.

###### HTML

<div class="form-outline datetimepicker" data-mdb-inline="true" >
  <input type="text" class="form-control" id="datetimepickerInline" />
