## Tailwind CSS
|
|
|
|
Nuxt UI v3 uses Tailwind CSS v4, you can read the [upgrade guide](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/upgrade-guide) to learn how to upgrade your project from v3 to v4.
|
|
|
|
### `@theme`
|
|
|
|
Tailwind CSS v4 takes a CSS-first configuration approach, you now customize your theme with CSS variables inside a [`@theme`](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives#theme-directive) directive to define your project's custom design tokens, like fonts, colors, and breakpoints:

|
@import "tailwindcss";
|
|
@import "@nuxt/ui";
|
|
|
|
@theme {
|
|
--font-sans: 'Public Sans', sans-serif;
|
|
|
|
--breakpoint-3xl: 1920px;

|
|
|
|
The `@theme` directive tells Tailwind to make new utilities and variants available based on these variables. It's the equivalent of the `theme.extend` key in Tailwind CSS v3 `tailwind.config.ts` file.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Learn more about customizing your theme in the theme variables documentation.

|
|
|
|
### `@source`
|
|
|
|
You can use the [`@source` directive](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives#source-directive) to explicitly specify source files that aren't picked up by Tailwind's automatic content detection:
|
|
|
|
This can be useful when writing Tailwind classes in markdown files with [`@nuxt/content`](https://github.com/nuxt/content) for example:
|
|
|
|
::module-only
|
|
#ui
|
|
:::div
|
|
|
|
```css [assets/css/main.css]
|
|
@import "tailwindcss";
|
|
@import "@nuxt/ui";
|
|
|
|
@source "../../content"; /* Change to "../../../content" if using compatibilityVersion: 4 in nuxt.config.ts */
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
#ui-pro
|
|
:::div
|
|
|
|
```css [assets/css/main.css]
|
|
@import "tailwindcss";
|
|
@import "@nuxt/ui-pro";
|
|
|
|
@source "../../content"; /* Change to "../../../content" if using compatibilityVersion: 4 in nuxt.config.ts */
|
|
```

## Design system
|
|
|
|
Nuxt UI extends Tailwind CSS's theming capabilities, providing a flexible design system with pre-configured color aliases and CSS variables. This allows for easy customization and quick adaptation of the UI to your brand's aesthetic.
|
|
|
|
### Colors
|
|
|
|
::framework-only
|
|
#nuxt
|
|
Nuxt UI leverages Nuxt [App Config](https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/app-config#app-config-file) to provide customizable color aliases based on [Tailwind CSS colors](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/customizing-colors#color-palette-reference):
|
|
|
|
#vue
|
|
Nuxt UI leverages Vite config to provide customizable color aliases based on [Tailwind CSS colors](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/customizing-colors#color-palette-reference):
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
| Color | Default | Description |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `primary`{color="primary"} | `green` | Main brand color, used as the default color for components. |
|
|
| `secondary`{color="secondary"} | `blue` | Secondary color to complement the primary color. |
|
|
| `success`{color="success"} | `green` | Used for success states. |
|
|
| `info`{color="info"} | `blue` | Used for informational states. |
|
|
| `warning`{color="warning"} | `yellow` | Used for warning states. |
|
|
| `error`{color="error"} | `red` | Used for form error validation states. |
|
|
| `neutral` | `slate` | Neutral color for backgrounds, text, etc. |
|
|
|
|
::framework-only
|
|
#nuxt
|
|
::div
|
|
You can configure these color aliases at runtime in your `app.config.ts` file under the `ui.colors` key, allowing for dynamic theme customization without requiring an application rebuild:
|
|
|
|
```ts [app.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineAppConfig({
|
|
ui: {
|
|
colors: {
|
|
primary: 'blue',
|
|
neutral: 'zinc'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
#vue
|
|
::div
|
|
You can configure these color aliases at runtime in your `vite.config.ts` file under the `ui.colors` key:
|
|
|
|
```ts [vite.config.ts]
|
|
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
|
|
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
|
|
import ui from '@nuxt/ui/vite'
|
|
|
|
export default defineConfig({
|
|
plugins: [
|
|
vue(),
|
|
ui({
|
|
ui: {
|
|
colors: {
|
|
primary: 'blue',
|
|
neutral: 'zinc'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
]
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::note
|
|
Try the :prose-icon{name="i-lucide-swatch-book" class="text-(--ui-primary)"} theme picker in the header above to change `primary` and `neutral` colors.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
These colors are used to style the components but also to generate the `color` variants:
|
|
|
|
::component-code{slug="button"}
|

|
|
props:
|
|
color: primary
|
|

|
:::tip
|
|
You can add you own dynamic color aliases in your `app.config.ts`, you just have to make sure to define them in the [`ui.theme.colors`](/getting-started/installation/nuxt#themecolors) option in your `nuxt.config.ts` file.
|
|
|
|
```ts [app.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineAppConfig({
|
|
ui: {
|
|
colors: {
|
|
tertiary: 'indigo'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineNuxtConfig({
|
|
ui: {
|
|
theme: {
|
|
colors: ['primary', 'secondary', 'tertiary', 'info', 'success', 'warning', 'error']
|

}
|
|
})
|
|
```

:::tip
|
|
You can add you own dynamic color aliases in your `vite.config.ts`, you just have to make sure to also define them in the [`theme.colors`](/getting-started/installation/vue#themecolors) option of the `ui` plugin.
|
|
|
|
```ts [vite.config.ts]
|
|
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
|
|
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
|

### Tokens
|
|
|
|
Nuxt UI leverages a robust system of CSS variables as design tokens to ensure consistent and flexible component styling. These tokens form the foundation of the theming system, offering smooth support for both light and dark modes.
|
|
|
|
#### Color Shades
|
|
|
|
Nuxt UI automatically creates a CSS variable for each color alias you define which represent the default shade used in both light and dark modes:
|
|
|
|
::code-group
|
|
|
|
```css [Light]
|
|
:root {
|
|
--ui-primary: var(--ui-color-primary-500);
|
|
--ui-secondary: var(--ui-color-secondary-500);
|
|
--ui-success: var(--ui-color-success-500);
|
|
--ui-info: var(--ui-color-info-500);
|
|
--ui-warning: var(--ui-color-warning-500);
|
|
--ui-error: var(--ui-color-error-500);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```css [Dark]
|
|
.dark {
|
|
--ui-primary: var(--ui-color-primary-400);
|
|
--ui-secondary: var(--ui-color-secondary-400);
|
|
--ui-success: var(--ui-color-success-400);
|
|
--ui-info: var(--ui-color-info-400);
|
|
--ui-warning: var(--ui-color-warning-400);
|
|
--ui-error: var(--ui-color-error-400);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::note
|
|
You can use these variables in classes like `text-(--ui-primary)`, it will automatically adapt to the current color scheme.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::tip
|
|
You can change which shade is used for each color on light and dark mode:

|
|
You cannot set `primary: 'black'`{lang="ts-type"} in your [`app.config.ts`](#config) because this color has no shade, instead you can override the primary color in your `main.css` file to create a black & white theme:

#### Neutral Palette
|
|
|
|
Nuxt UI provides a comprehensive set of design tokens for the `neutral` color palette, ensuring consistent and accessible UI styling across both light and dark modes. These tokens offer fine-grained control over text, background, and border colors:
|
|
|
|
::code-group
|
|
|
|
```css [Light]
|
|
:root {
|
|
/* Least prominent text */
|
|
--ui-text-dimmed: var(--ui-color-neutral-400);
|
|
/* Slightly muted text */
|
|
--ui-text-muted: var(--ui-color-neutral-500);
|
|

|
::note
|

Nuxt UI automatically applies a text and background color on the `<body>` element of your app:
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
body {
|
|
@apply antialiased text-(--ui-text) bg-(--ui-bg);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|

#### Border Radius
|
|
|
|
Nuxt UI uses a global `--ui-radius` CSS variable for consistent border rounding. Components use variations of this base value, like `rounded-[calc(var(--ui-radius)*2)]`, to create different levels of roundness throughout the UI:
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
:root {
|
|
--ui-radius: var(--radius-sm);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::note
|
|
Try the :prose-icon{name="i-lucide-swatch-book" class="text-(--ui-primary)"} theme picker in the header above to change the base radius value.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::tip
|
|
You can customize the default radius value using the default Tailwind CSS variables or a value of your choice:

|
|
|
::module-only
|
|
#ui

#### Container
|
|
|
|
Nuxt UI uses a global `--ui-container` CSS variable to define the width of the container:
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
:root {
|
|
--ui-container: var(--container-7xl);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::tip
|
|
You can customize the default container width using the default Tailwind CSS variables or a value of your choice:
|
|
|
|
::module-only
|
|
#ui
|
|
:::div{class="*:!mb-0 *:!mt-2.5"}
|
|
|
|
```css [assets/css/main.css]
|
|
@import "tailwindcss";
|
|
@import "@nuxt/ui";
|
|
|
|
@theme {
|
|
--container-8xl: 90rem;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
:root {
|
|
--ui-container: var(--container-8xl);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
#ui-pro
|
|
:::div{class="*:!mb-0 *:!mt-2.5"}
|
|
|
|
```css [assets/css/main.css]
|
|
@import "tailwindcss";
|
|
@import "@nuxt/ui-pro";
|
|
|
|
@theme {
|
|
--container-8xl: 90rem;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
:root {
|
|
--ui-container: var(--container-8xl);
|
|
}
|
|
```

## Components theme
|
|
|
|
Nuxt UI components are styled using the [Tailwind Variants](https://www.tailwind-variants.org/) API, which provides a powerful way to create variants and manage component styles. Let's explore the key features of this API:
|
|
|
|
### Slots
|
|
|
|
Components in Nuxt UI can have multiple `slots`, each representing a distinct HTML element or section within the component. These slots allow for flexible content insertion and styling. Let's take the [Card](/components/card) component as an example:
|
|
|
|
::code-group
|
|
|
|
```ts [src/theme/card.ts]
|
|
export default {
|
|
slots: {
|
|
root: 'bg-(--ui-bg) ring ring-(--ui-border) divide-y divide-(--ui-border) rounded-[calc(var(--ui-radius)*2)]',
|
|
header: 'p-4 sm:px-6',
|
|
body: 'p-4 sm:p-6',
|
|
footer: 'p-4 sm:px-6'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```vue [src/runtime/components/Card.vue]
|
|
<template>
|
|
<div :class="ui.root({ class: [props.class, props.ui?.root] })">
|
|
<div :class="ui.header({ class: props.ui?.header })">
|
|
<slot name="header" />
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div :class="ui.body({ class: props.ui?.body })">
|
|
<slot />
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div :class="ui.footer({ class: props.ui?.footer })">
|
|
<slot name="footer" />
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
Some components don't have slots, they are just composed of a single root element. In this case, the theme only defines the `base` slot like the [Container](/components/container) component for example:
|
|
|
|
::code-group
|
|
|
|
```ts [src/theme/container.ts]
|
|
export default {
|
|
base: 'max-w-(--ui-container) mx-auto px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8'
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```vue [src/runtime/components/Container.vue]
|
|
<template>
|
|
<div :class="container({ class: props.class })">
|
|
<slot />
|
|
</div>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::warning
|
|
Components without slots don't have a [`ui` prop](#ui-prop), only the [`class` prop](#class-prop) is available to override styles.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
### Variants
|
|
|
|
Nuxt UI components use `variants` to change the `slots` styles based on props. Here's an example of the [Avatar](/components/avatar) component:
|
|
|
|
```ts [src/theme/avatar.ts]
|
|
export default {
|
|
slots: {
|
|
root: 'inline-flex items-center justify-center shrink-0 select-none overflow-hidden rounded-full align-middle bg-(--ui-bg-elevated)',
|
|
image: 'h-full w-full rounded-[inherit] object-cover'
|
|
},
|
|
variants: {
|
|
size: {
|
|
sm: {
|
|
root: 'size-7 text-sm'
|
|
},
|
|
md: {
|
|
root: 'size-8 text-base'
|
|
},
|
|
lg: {
|
|
root: 'size-9 text-lg'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
defaultVariants: {
|
|
size: 'md'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This way, the `size` prop will apply the corresponding styles to the `root` slot:
|
|
|
|
::component-code{slug="avatar"}
|
|
---
|
|
ignore:
|
|
- src
|
|
props:
|
|
src: 'https://github.com/nuxt.png'
|
|
size: lg
|
|
---
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
The `defaultVariants` property specifies the default values for each variant. It determines how a component looks and behaves when no prop is provided.
|
|
|
|
::framework-only
|
|
#nuxt
|
|
:::tip
|
|
These default values can be customized in your [`app.config.ts`](#config) to adjust the standard appearance of components throughout your application.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
#vue
|
|
:::tip
|
|
These default values can be customized in your [`vite.config.ts`](#config) to adjust the standard appearance of components throughout your application.
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
## Customize theme
|
|
|
|
You have multiple ways to customize the appearance of Nuxt UI components, you can do it for all components at once or on a per-component basis.
|
|
|
|
::note
|
|
Tailwind Variants uses [`tailwind-merge`](https://github.com/dcastil/tailwind-merge) under the hood to merge classes so you don't have to worry about conflicting classes.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::tip
|
|
You can explore the theme for each component in two ways:
|
|
|
|
- Check the `Theme` section in the documentation of each individual component.
|
|
- Browse the source code directly in the GitHub repository at [`v3/src/theme`](https://github.com/nuxt/ui/tree/v3/src/theme).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Config
|
|
|
|
::framework-only
|
|
#nuxt
|
|
::div
|
|
You can override the theme of components globally inside your `app.config.ts` by using the exact same structure as the theme object.
|
|
|
|
Let's say you want to change the font weight of all your buttons, you can do it like this:
|
|
|
|
```ts [app.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineAppConfig({
|
|
ui: {
|
|
button: {
|
|
slots: {
|
|
base: 'font-bold'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
#vue
|
|
::div
|
|
You can override the theme of components globally inside your `vite.config.ts` by using the exact same structure as the theme object.
|
|
|
|
Let's say you want to change the font weight of all your buttons, you can do it like this:
|
|
|
|
```ts [vite.config.ts]
|
|
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
|
|
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
|
|
import ui from '@nuxt/ui/vite'
|
|
|
|
export default defineConfig({
|
|
plugins: [
|
|
vue(),
|
|
ui({
|
|
ui: {
|
|
button: {
|
|
slots: {
|
|
base: 'font-bold'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
]
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::note
|
|
In this example, the `font-bold` class will override the default `font-medium` class on all buttons.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
### Props
|
|
|
|
#### `ui` prop
|
|
|
|
You can also override a component's **slots** using the `ui` prop. This has priority over the global configuration and `variants` resolution.
|
|
|
|
::component-code{slug="button"}
|
|
---
|
|
prettier: true
|
|
ignore:
|
|
- ui.trailingIcon
|
|
- color
|
|
- variant
|
|
- size
|
|
- icon
|
|
props:
|
|
trailingIcon: i-lucide-chevron-right
|
|
size: md
|
|
color: neutral
|
|
variant: outline
|
|
ui:
|
|
trailingIcon: 'rotate-90 size-3'
|
|
slots:
|
|
default: |
|
|
|
|
Button
|
|
---
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::note
|
|
In this example, the `trailingIcon` slot is overwritten with `size-3` even though the `md` size variant would apply a `size-5` class to it.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
#### `class` prop
|
|
|
|
The `class` prop allows you to override the classes of the `root` or `base` slot. This has priority over the global configuration and `variants` resolution.
|
|
|
|
::component-code{slug="button"}
|
|
---
|
|
props:
|
|
class: 'font-bold rounded-full'
|
|
slots:
|
|
default: Button
|
|
---
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::note
|
|
In this example, the `font-bold` class will override the default `font-medium` class on this button.
