npm install material-design-lite doesn't have default entry point

[ghost]

Doing

npm install material-design-lite

then in my code

require('material-design-lite')

The require doesn't point to a js file, have to do it manually with

require('material-design-lite/material.min.js')

Please consider updating the package.json to point to the correct javascript files when requiring it from npm.

Dupe of #833 I would say. An external contributor is working on a patch, hopefully with results soon :-)

I think this issue should be re-opened. The workaround above require('material-design-lite/material.min.js') does not work when I use webpack's CommonsChunkPlugin to extract vendor libraries:

webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin('vendor', 'vendor.dist.js')

I get the following error at compile time:

ERROR in multi vendor
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'material-design-lite' in /project-path/myproject
 @ multi vendor

And my vendor.dist.js has this error:

...
__webpack_require__(324);
(function webpackMissingModule() { throw new Error("Cannot find module \"material-design-lite\""); }());
...

Manually adding "main": "dist/material.js” or "main": "dist/material.min.js” fixes this issue. Obviously, manual code editing is not an option for when building in Jenkins.

I've created a fork with a fix, please consider merging it in:
#2000

i had the same issue too but i managed to fix it by adding "material-design-lite": "^1.3.0" to the dependencies in my package.json then i ran npm install once again
