# Vue
Vue [plays nice](https://custom-elements-everywhere.com/#vue) with custom elements, so you can use Shoelace in your Vue apps with ease.
## Installation
To add Shoelace to your Vue app, install the package from npm.
```bash
npm install @shoelace-style/shoelace
```
You'll need to tell Vue to ignore Shoelace components. This is pretty easy because they all start with `sl-`.
```js
import { createApp } from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
const app = createApp(App);
app.config.compilerOptions.isCustomElement = tag => tag.startsWith('sl-');
app.mount('#app');
```
## Binding Complex Data
When binding complex data such as objects and arrays, use the `.prop` modifier to make Vue bind them as a property instead of an attribute.
```html
```
## Two-way Binding
One caveat is there's currently [no support for v-model on custom elements](https://github.com/vuejs/vue/issues/7830), but you can still achieve two-way binding manually.
```html
```
If that's too verbose for your liking, you can use a custom directive instead. [This utility](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@shoelace-style/vue-sl-model) adds a custom directive that will work just like `v-model` but for Shoelace components. To install it, use this command.
```bash
npm install @shoelace-style/vue-sl-model
```
Next, import the directive and enable it like this.
```js
import ShoelaceModelDirective from '@shoelace-style/vue-sl-model';
import { createApp } from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
const app = createApp(App);
app.use(ShoelaceModelDirective);
app.config.compilerOptions.isCustomElement = tag => tag.startsWith('sl-');
app.mount('#app');
```
Now you can use the `v-sl-model` directive to keep your data in sync!
```html
```
