Getting Started

Add Nuxt UI Vue to your project by running one of the following commands below:

# pnpm
pnpm add nuxt-ui-vue

# yarn
yarn add nuxt-ui-vue

# npm
npm install nuxt-ui-vue

And also add @tailwindcss/forms plugin by running the following command:

# pnpm
pnpm add -D @tailwindcss/forms

# yarn
yarn add --dev @tailwindcss/forms

# npm
npm install -D @tailwindcss/forms

Usage

Register the @tailwindcss/forms plugin and add the Nuxt-UI-Vue theme file, the darkMode class and the tailwindCss colors configuration in your tailwind.config.cjs file as shown below:

import tailwindColors from './node_modules/tailwindcss/colors'

const colorSafeList = []

const deprecated = ['lightBlue', 'warmGray', 'trueGray', 'coolGray', 'blueGray']

for (const colorName in tailwindColors) {
  if (deprecated.includes(colorName))
    continue

  const shades = [50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900]

  const pallette = tailwindColors[colorName]

  if (typeof pallette === 'object') {
    shades.forEach((shade) => {
      if (shade in pallette) {
        colorSafeList.push(`text-${colorName}-${shade}`),
        colorSafeList.push(`accent-${colorName}-${shade}`),
        colorSafeList.push(`bg-${colorName}-${shade}`),
        colorSafeList.push(`hover:enabled:bg-${colorName}-${shade}`),
        colorSafeList.push(`focus:bg-${colorName}-${shade}`),
        colorSafeList.push(`ring-${colorName}-${shade}`),
        colorSafeList.push(`focus:ring-${colorName}-${shade}`),
        colorSafeList.push(`border-${colorName}-${shade}`)
      }
    })
  }
}
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: ['./index.html', './src/**/*.{vue,js,ts,jsx,tsx}', 'node_modules/nuxt-ui-vue/dist/theme/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,vue}'],
  darkMode: 'class',
  safelist: colorSafeList,
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: tailwindColors
    },
  },
  plugins: [require('@tailwindcss/forms')],
}

Since TailwindCss doesn't support dynamic class names, you need to configure the tailwind.config.cjs file as shown above. You can read more about safelisting tailwindcss classes here

Component registration

With Nuxt UI Vue, you have the flexibility to register components precisely as you wish:

Import All Components

To import all the components provided by Nuxt UI Vue, add Nuxt UI Vue in your main entry file as shown below:

With Nuxt-UI-Vue, you have the flexibility to register components precisely as you wish:

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import './style.css'
import nuxtLabsTheme from 'nuxt-ui-vue/dist/theme/nuxtlabsTheme'

import install from 'nuxt-ui-vue'
import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App)
app.use(install, nuxtLabsTheme)
app.mount('#app')

By doing this, you are importing all the components that are provided by Nuxt-UI-Vue and in your final bundle all the components including the ones you didn't use will be bundled. Use this method of component registration if you are confident that you will use all the components.

Individual Components with Tree Shaking

Probably you might not want to globally register all the components but instead only import the components that you need. You can achieve this by doing the following:

Import the createUI option as well as the components you need as shown below:

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import './style.css'
import nuxtLabsTheme from 'nuxt-ui-vue/dist/theme/nuxtlabsTheme'

import { UButton, UDropdown, createUI } from 'nuxt-ui-vue'

import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App)

const UI = createUI({
  prefix: 'T',
  components: [UDropdown, UButton],
})

app.use(UI, nuxtLabsTheme)

app.mount('#app')

Now you can use the component as shown below:

<script setup lang='ts'>
const items = [
  [{
    label: 'Profile',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/739984?v=4'
    }
  }], [{
    label: 'Edit',
    icon: 'heroicons:pencil-square-20-solid',
    shortcuts: ['E'],
    click: () => {
      // eslint-disable-next-line no-console
      console.log('Edit')
    }
  }, {
    label: 'Duplicate',
    icon: 'heroicons:document-duplicate-20-solid',
    shortcuts: ['D'],
    disabled: true
  }], [{
    label: 'Archive',
    icon: 'heroicons:archive-box-20-solid'
  }, {
    label: 'Move',
    icon: 'heroicons:arrow-right-circle-20-solid'
  }], [{
    label: 'Delete',
    icon: 'heroicons:trash-20-solid',
    shortcuts: ['⌘', 'D']
  }]
]
</script>

<template>
  <div class="grid place-items-center w-full min-h-screen">
    <div>
      <TDropdown :items="items" :popper="{ placement: 'bottom-start' }">
        <TButton color="white" label="Options" trailing-icon="heroicons:chevron-down-20-solid" />
      </TDropdown>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

The prefix option is only available for individual component imports.

Auto Imports with Tree Shaking

Nuxt-UI-Vue comes with an intelligent resolver that automatically imports only used components.

This is made possible by leveraging a tool known as unplugin-vue-components which lets you auto import components on demand thus omitting import statements and still get the benefits of tree shaking.

To achieve this you need to do the following:

Install the unplugin-vue-components package by running one of the following commands:

#pnpm
pnpm add -D unplugin-vue-components

#yarn
yarn add -D unplugin-vue-components

#npm
npm i -D unplugin-vue-components

Head over to your main.ts or main.js file and set registerComponents to false as shown below:

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import './style.css'
import nuxtLabsTheme from 'nuxt-ui-vue/dist/theme/nuxtlabsTheme'

import { createUI } from 'nuxt-ui-vue'

import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App)

const UI = createUI({
  registerComponents: false,
})

app.use(UI, nuxtLabsTheme)

app.mount('#app')

Head over to your vite.config.ts or vite.config.js file and add the following:

// other imports
import { NuxtUIVueComponentResolver } from 'nuxt-ui-vue'
import Components from 'unplugin-vue-components/vite'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    // other plugins
    Components({
      resolvers: [
        NuxtUIVueComponentResolver()
      ]
    })
  ],
})

Now you can simply use any component that you want and it will be auto imported on demand ✨

<script setup lang='ts'>
const items = [
  [{
    label: 'Profile',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/739984?v=4'
    }
  }], [{
    label: 'Edit',
    icon: 'heroicons:pencil-square-20-solid',
    shortcuts: ['E'],
    click: () => {
      // eslint-disable-next-line no-console
      console.log('Edit')
    }
  }, {
    label: 'Duplicate',
    icon: 'heroicons:document-duplicate-20-solid',
    shortcuts: ['D'],
    disabled: true
  }], [{
    label: 'Archive',
    icon: 'heroicons:archive-box-20-solid'
  }, {
    label: 'Move',
    icon: 'heroicons:arrow-right-circle-20-solid'
  }], [{
    label: 'Delete',
    icon: 'heroicons:trash-20-solid',
    shortcuts: ['⌘', 'D']
  }]
]
</script>

<template>
  <div class="grid place-items-center w-full min-h-screen">
    <div>
      <UDropdown :items="items" :popper="{ placement: 'bottom-start' }">
        <UButton color="green" label="Options" trailing-icon="heroicons:chevron-down-20-solid" />
      </UDropdown>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

Component Customizations

In regards to customization, Nuxt UI Vue offers two ways of customizing your components. The first way is through the variants property and the second way is by creating your own theme file.

Here is an example of customizing a UButton component through the variants property:

<template>
  <div>
    <UButton
      :variants="{
        'my-variant': {
          rounded: 'rounded-full',
        },
      }" :variant="['my-variant']" color="red" label="Button"
    />
  </div>
</template>

By default, the default roundedness of the UButton component is rounded-md. However, we have customized its appearance by using the variants property to change its roundedness and then we used the variant prop to pass our variant which is my-variant ( you can name it whatever you want) to the variant array and now the UButton component will be rendered with a fully rounded appearance (rounded-full).

You can customize each component this way using the component's preset which can be found here

For any component that uses the variant prop such as the UButton, UBadge, UInput, UTextarea, USelect, etc, use the intent prop instead as shown below:

<template>
    <div>
        <UButton intent="soft" color="red" label="Button" />
    </div>
</template>

<template>
  <div>
    <UBadge color="red" intent="solid" label="Badge" />
  </div>
</template>

The Notifications component comes with a position prop to enable you to specify the position of the Notifications component. To get started with it, you need to import the injectToast() function and the UNotifications component in your App.vue file as shown below:

<!-- app.vue file -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { injectToast } from 'nuxt-ui-vue'

injectToast()
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <Hello />
    <UNotifications position="top-right" />
  </div>
</template>

By default, the position of the component is set to bottom-right.

Then in your other component, for example, Hello.vue component, you can do the following:

<!-- Hello.vue component -->

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useToast } from 'nuxt-ui-vue'

const toast = useToast()
</script>

<template>
  <UButton
    label="Show toast" @click="toast.add({
      title: 'Update downloaded.',
      description: 'It will be installed on restart. Restart now?',
      icon: 'octicon:desktop-download-24',
    })"
  />
</template>

🥳 Well done, you can now go ahead and build your web application with ease.
