• demo.scss: CSS for the preview purposes, don't mind it
• scss/_global.scss: global settings
• scss/_foundation.scss: the rest of original Foundation's code is imported here

How to use Material Foundation

1. Import material-foundation.scss to your stylesheet (the same way it is done in the demo file).
2. Set your primary and accent colors using the $foundation-palette variable and override any other variables if necessary. Include the variables before the material-foundation stylesheet.
3. Include material-foundation.js before your closing </body> tag.

And that's it!

How to use Material Foundation with an existing Foundation project

To use Material Foundation with an existing Foundation project you can simply replace the Foundation with Material Foundation and everything should work as expected.

However, due to the differences between Foundation and Material Design Guidelines, some of the Material Foundation components are not based on the original Foundation's markup. To use them in your project you have to use the Material Foundation specific classes, e.g. floating-action-button to use a Floating Action Button.

To view how the original Foundation components behave with the Material Foundation styles check the Kitchen Sink on the Material Foundation website.
