Vue

Vue plays nice with custom elements, so you can use Shoelace in your Vue apps with ease.

?> These instructions are for Vue 3 and above. If you're using Vue 2, please see the Vue 2 instructions.

Installation

To add Shoelace to your Vue app, install the package from npm.

npm install @shoelace-style/shoelace

Next, include a theme and set the base path for icons and other assets. In this example, we'll import the light theme and use the CDN as a base path.

import '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/themes/light.css';
import { setBasePath } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/utilities/base-path';

setBasePath('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@shoelace-style/shoelace@%VERSION%/dist/');

?> If you'd rather not use the CDN for assets, you can create a build task that copies node_modules/@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/assets into a public folder in your app. Then you can point the base path to that folder instead.

Configuration

You'll need to tell Vue to ignore Shoelace components. This is pretty easy because they all start with sl-.

import { fileURLToPath, URL } from 'url';

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    vue({
      template: {
        compilerOptions: {
          isCustomElement: tag => tag.startsWith('sl-')
        }
      }
    })
  ],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      '@': fileURLToPath(new URL('./src', import.meta.url))
    }
  }
});

Now you can start using Shoelace components in your app!

Usage

QR code generator example

<template>
  <div class="container">
    <h1>QR code generator</h1>

    <sl-input maxlength="255" clearable label="Value" v-model="qrCode"></sl-input>

    <sl-qr-code :value="qrCode"></sl-qr-code>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';
import '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/components/qr-code/qr-code.js';
import '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/components/input/input.js';

const qrCode = ref();
</script>

<style>
.container {
  max-width: 400px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

sl-input {
  margin: var(--sl-spacing-large) 0;
}
</style>

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.

<sl-color-picker :swatches.prop="mySwatches" />
