In this tutorial video, we created a professional Log In form with using modal concepts from scratch. For this tutorial, we used Materialize CSS Full Package , Materialize Minified CSS Library, Materialize Minified JavaScript Library, jQuery JavaScript 3.3.1 Ajax Library. Also we used XAMPP Control Panel Server for localhost server connection. I explained in detail all the commands used when creating Pop-Up Login Form. In this tutorial video, we used Materialize package instead of CDN Bootstrap.
Also I gave technical information about creating Log In form classes, script, modal concepts and other commands. Our Materialize education series will progress from basic - intermediate to advanced. All the programs described in the video Materialize Full CSS Package (1.0.0-beta version), Visual Studio Code, Materialize Minified JavaScript Library, jQuery 3.3.1 Minified Library, XAMPP Control Panel Server , jQuery Ajax JS Minified Library) are open source and are all included in the links section of the GitHub repositories (Except XAMPP Control Panel Server).

My Operating System

Let's Take a Look Some Additional Steps About Pop-Up Login Form Tutorial

First Step:

First of all, we used the addresses of the libraries we need between the head commands. Materialize CSS (1.0.0-beta version, full package), Materialize Minified CSS Library, jQuery JavaScript Ajax library, jQuery 3.3.1 Minified, Materialize Minified JavaScript and Materialize Icons Family (via Google Fonts) used in this video.

Second Step:

Second step about, creating first "modal button (with wave effect)" because we need a clickable modal button for reaching Log In form with pop-up effect, we used modal as a href because modal provides us like alert box with pop-up effect. When we click on the modal button, it will open with the pop-up effect. We used container class because, it allows us to set the page layout for modal Log In button.
We used division class as center align, this class allows the log in modal button to appear in the center of the page. We used here a href command as "#modal" because this button will redirect us to modal log in section with pop-up effect. We defined modal log in button properties with i class command, we used wave effect and we defined wave effect as green. Waves-effect command makes when we click on the button, the button allows the color to turn green and we defined modal buttons primary color as black. And we defined a style for the button to appear in the center of the page. We defined button's margin-top style dimensions as 400px this value will appear this button in the center of the page. And finally we defined the text to write on the button as "Click here to Log In".

Third Step:

In this step we defined division class and id as modal and modal to defining modal login options.
This is Important We can't change id and class because the modals id and class type are standard. We used model-content because this class allows us the specifying log in section options and properties.
We defined the color of welcome message. We also defined the margin-top style value as 25px for the welcome message appear on the center of the page with using h2 command.

Fourth Step:

In this step, we defined a lot of commands and classes for creating log in username and password options. We used input placeholder command, this means, in the username and password text area, input placeholder provides, appear "Enter Your Username" with transparent text and this transparent text disappears when the user starts to write. Other commands and classes, I explained in detail all the commands used for this step in the video tutorial.

Fiveth Step:

This step about creating "Sign In" button. We defined another division class as modal-footer, Modal-Footer is a special command that is only used when creating the modal connection button. Here we used division class as modal-footer because in the second part, modal footer class provides MySQL and phpMyAdmin connection with login button.
And we created sign in button with waves-effect and we defined effect as waves-light to looks better.

Sixth Step:

In this step we writing script for log in form, we started with $(document).ready(function(){ command as usual and we used $('.modal').modal(); script we used this function for modal effects and login form to work properly. Also If we don't use the jQuery library, the script and project will not work.
