Plugin

PrimeVue plugin is required to be installed as an application plugin to set up the default configuration. The plugin is lightweight, only sets up the configuration object without affecting your application. PrimeVue has two styling modes; Styled and Unstyled. If you are just getting started, we suggest to using the styled mode.

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import PrimeVue from 'primevue/config';
const app = createApp(App);

app.use(PrimeVue);

Theming

PrimeVue has two theming has modes; styled or unstyled.

Styled Mode

Styled mode provides pre-skinned components, default theme is Aura with emerald as the primary color.

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import PrimeVueStyled from 'primevue/config';
const app = createApp(App);

app.use(PrimeVueStyled);

Unstyled Mode

In unstyled mode, the components do not include any CSS so you'd need to style the components on your end. If you are using Tailwind CSS, visit the Tailwind Presets project to get you started with styling the components with Tailwind utility classes.

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import PrimeVueUnstyled from 'primevue/config';
const app = createApp(App);

app.use(PrimeVueUnstyled);

Usage

Each component can be imported individually so that you only bundle what you use. Import path is available in the documentation of the corresponding component.

import Button from 'primevue/button';

const app = createApp(App);
app.component('Button', Button);

Prop Cases

Component prop names are described as camel case throughout the documentation however kebab-case is also fully supported. Events on the other hand should always be kebab-case.

<Dialog :showHeader="false"></Dialog>

<!-- can be written as -->

<Dialog :show-header="false"></Dialog>
