Vuetify

Language: JavaScript

UI Framework

Vuetify was created by John Leider to bring Google’s Material Design specification to Vue.js. It allows developers to build aesthetically consistent and responsive applications quickly while adhering to Material Design guidelines.

Vuetify is a Material Design component framework for Vue.js, providing a comprehensive suite of reusable, accessible, and responsive UI components.

Installation

npm: npm install vuetify@next

yarn: yarn add vuetify@next

manual: Include Vuetify in your Vue project and configure the Vuetify plugin in your main.js or main.ts file.

Usage

Vuetify provides a large number of pre-styled Vue components such as buttons, cards, forms, tables, navigation drawers, dialogs, and grids. Components are designed to be customizable and responsive.

</script>

Card component

<template>

    <v-card-text>This is a simple Vuetify card.</v-card-text>
  </v-card>
</template>

Displays a card component with a title and text content.

      <v-list-item link>About</v-list-item>
    </v-list>

</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
const drawer = ref(true)
</script>

Creates a responsive navigation drawer with a list of links.

Data table

<template>
  <v-data-table :headers="headers" :items="items"></v-data-table>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
const headers = [
  { text: 'Name', value: 'name' },
  { text: 'Age', value: 'age' }
]
const items = [
  { name: 'Alice', age: 25 },
  { name: 'Bob', age: 30 }
]
</script>

Dialog component

<template>
  <v-dialog v-model="dialog">

      <v-card-title>Dialog Title</v-card-title>
      <v-card-text>Dialog content goes here.</v-card-text>
      <v-card-actions>
        <v-btn @click="dialog = false">Close</v-btn>
      </v-card-actions>
    </v-card>
  </v-dialog>
  <v-btn @click="dialog = true">Open Dialog</v-btn>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
const dialog = ref(false)
</script>

Error Handling

Component not styled: Ensure Vuetify CSS is imported and the plugin is properly initialized in your Vue app.

v-model not working: Check that you are using a reactive `ref` or `reactive` object for v-model bindings.

Components not rendering: Verify that the Vuetify plugin is installed and registered in your Vue application.

Best Practices

Use Vuetify's grid system for responsive layouts.

Customize themes to maintain consistent branding.

Import only the components you need to reduce bundle size.

Use Vuetify directives and props to leverage built-in functionality.

Follow Material Design guidelines for a consistent UX.
