Initializes a specific MaterializeCSS component. Some components require initialization after creation to enable their JavaScript functionality.

Syntax

Result = MaterialSB::Init(Element, Options)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Element	The DOM element to initialize (returned by the component creation function).
Options	A JavaScript object with component-specific options, or #Null for defaults.

Return Value

#True if the element was successfully initialized, #False otherwise.

Remarks

The following components require Init() to function properly:

• Carousel - Image carousel/slider
• Dropdown - Select dropdowns (after adding all options)
• Sidenav - Side navigation menus
• Modal - Dialog windows

Init() automatically detects the component type based on the element's CSS classes and calls the appropriate MaterializeCSS initializer.

Example

; Create and initialize a carousel
carousel = MaterialSB::Carousel()
MaterialSB::CarouselAddItem(carousel, "https://picsum.photos/300/200", "#")
MaterialSB::CarouselAddItem(carousel, "https://picsum.photos/300/200", "#")
MaterialSB::CarouselAddItem(carousel, "https://picsum.photos/300/200", "#")
MaterialSB::Init(carousel, #Null)

; Create and initialize a dropdown
dropdown = MaterialSB::Dropdown("Select an option")
MaterialSB::DropdownAddOption("Option 1", "1", dropdown)
MaterialSB::DropdownAddOption("Option 2", "2", dropdown)
MaterialSB::DropdownAddOption("Option 3", "3", dropdown, #True) ; Selected
MaterialSB::Init(dropdown, #Null)

; Create and initialize a sidenav
sidenav = MaterialSB::Sidenav()
MaterialSB::SidenavAddLink("Home", "/", "home")
MaterialSB::SidenavAddLink("About", "/about", "info")
MaterialSB::Init(sidenav, #Null)
