Getting started

Quick start

1- Include the Mg+ CSS file in the section of your HTML file to apply the default styles:

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.mgpluscss.com/$PACKAGE_VERSION/mgplus.css">

2- (Optional) Include Mg+ plugins at the end of your page to allow dynamic ui interactions (dynamic class toggling)

<script src="https://cdn.mgpluscss.com/$PACKAGE_VERSION/mgplus-vanilla.js?register=all"></script>

3- Start using the predefined classes in your HTML elements. For example, to create a button, you can use:

<button class="mg-button">Click me</button>
