Vuetify — Toolbars

Spread the love

Vuetify is a popular UI framework for Vue apps.

In this article, we’ll look at how to work with the Vuetify framework.

Toolbars

We can add toolbars with the v-toolbar component.

For example, we can write:

<template>
  <v-container>
    <v-row class="text-center">
      <v-col col="12">
        <v-card color="grey lighten-4" flat height="200px" tile>
          <v-toolbar prominent extended>
            <v-app-bar-nav-icon></v-app-bar-nav-icon>

            <v-toolbar-title>Title</v-toolbar-title>

            <v-spacer></v-spacer>

            <v-btn icon>
              <v-icon>mdi-magnify</v-icon>
            </v-btn>

            <v-btn icon>
              <v-icon>mdi-heart</v-icon>
            </v-btn>

            <v-btn icon>
              <v-icon>mdi-dots-vertical</v-icon>
            </v-btn>
          </v-toolbar>
        </v-card>
      </v-col>
    </v-row>
  </v-container>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: "HelloWorld",
  data: () => ({}),
};
</script>

to add a toolbar with the v-toolbar component.

v-app-bar-nav-icon to add the nav icon.

v-toolbar-title lets us add the title.

v-space lets us add spacing to the toolbar items,

v-btn lets us add the buttons.

Dense Toolbars

We can add the dense prop to the v-toolbar to make it denser.

For example, we can write:

<template>
  <v-container>
    <v-row class="text-center">
      <v-col col="12">
        <v-card color="grey lighten-4" flat height="200px" tile>
          <v-toolbar dense>
            <v-app-bar-nav-icon></v-app-bar-nav-icon>

            <v-toolbar-title>Title</v-toolbar-title>

            <v-spacer></v-spacer>

            <v-btn icon>
              <v-icon>mdi-magnify</v-icon>
            </v-btn>

            <v-btn icon>
              <v-icon>mdi-heart</v-icon>
            </v-btn>

            <v-btn icon>
              <v-icon>mdi-dots-vertical</v-icon>
            </v-btn>
          </v-toolbar>
        </v-card>
      </v-col>
    </v-row>
  </v-container>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: "HelloWorld",
  data: () => ({}),
};
</script>

to make the toolbar shorter.

Dark Variant

To make the toolbar show with a black background, we can add the dark prop;

<template>
  <v-container>
    <v-row class="text-center">
      <v-col col="12">
        <v-card color="grey lighten-4" flat height="200px" tile>
          <v-toolbar dark>
            <v-spacer></v-spacer>

            <v-btn icon>
              <v-icon>mdi-reply</v-icon>
            </v-btn>

            <v-btn icon>
              <v-icon>mdi-dots-vertical</v-icon>
            </v-btn>
          </v-toolbar>
        </v-card>
      </v-col>
    </v-row>
  </v-container>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: "HelloWorld",
  data: () => ({}),
};
</script>

Background Color

We can also change the background color of the toolbar.

For example, we can write:

<template>
  <v-container>
    <v-row class="text-center">
      <v-col col="12">
        <v-card color="grey lighten-4" flat height="200px" tile>
          <v-toolbar color="primary" dark>
            <v-spacer></v-spacer>

            <v-btn icon>
              <v-icon>mdi-reply</v-icon>
            </v-btn>

            <v-btn icon>
              <v-icon>mdi-dots-vertical</v-icon>
            </v-btn>
          </v-toolbar>
        </v-card>
      </v-col>
    </v-row>
  </v-container>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: "HelloWorld",
  data: () => ({}),
};
</script>

We have the color prop set to primary to make it blue.

And we add the dark prop to make the icons white.

Prominent Toolbar with Background

We can add a toolbar with a background image.

For example, we can write:

<template>
  <v-container>
    <v-row class="text-center">
      <v-col col="12">
        <v-toolbar dark prominent src="https://cdn.vuetifyjs.com/images/backgrounds/vbanner.jpg">
          <v-app-bar-nav-icon></v-app-bar-nav-icon>

          <v-toolbar-title>App</v-toolbar-title>

          <v-spacer></v-spacer>

          <v-btn icon>
            <v-icon>mdi-export</v-icon>
          </v-btn>
        </v-toolbar>
      </v-col>
    </v-row>
  </v-container>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: "HelloWorld",
  data: () => ({}),
};
</script>

We have the v-toolbar component with the dark and prominent props to change the background color.

src sets the URL of the image.

Conclusion

We can add toolbars with various colors, sizes, and a background image.
