Getting Started

Installation

Learn how to install and configure Nuxt UI v3 in your application.

Setup

  1. Install the Nuxt UI v3 alpha package:
pnpm add @nuxt/ui@next
Make sure you have typescript installed in your dev dependencies.
  1. Register the Nuxt UI module in your nuxt.config.ts:
nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/ui']
})
  1. Import Tailwind and Nuxt UI in your app.vue or in your CSS:
<style>
@import "tailwindcss";
@import "@nuxt/ui";
</style>

Options

You can customize Nuxt UI by providing options in your nuxt.config.ts:

prefix

Use the prefix option to change the prefix of the components.

  • Default: U
nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/ui'],
  ui: {
    prefix: 'Nuxt'
  }
})

fonts

Use the fonts option to enable or disable the @nuxt/fonts module.

  • Default: true
nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/ui'],
  ui: {
    fonts: false
  }
})

theme.colors

Use the theme.colors option to choose which Tailwind CSS colors are used to generate classes for components.

  • Default: ['red', 'orange', 'amber', 'yellow', 'lime', 'green', 'emerald', 'teal', 'cyan', 'sky', 'blue', 'indigo', 'violet', 'purple', 'fuchsia', 'pink', 'rose']
nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/ui'],
  ui: {
    theme: {
      colors: ['blue', 'green', 'red']
    }
  }
})
This can help reduce the number of CSS classes generated in your bundle.

theme.transitions

Use the theme.transitions option to disable all transitions on components.

  • Default: true
nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/ui'],
  ui: {
    theme: {
      transitions: false
    }
  }
})
This option adds the transition-colors class on components with hover or active states.
