Quasar is a popular Vue UI library for developing good looking Vue apps.
In this article, we’ll take a look at how to create Vue apps with the Quasar UI library.
Layout
We can create a simple layout with the q-layout component.
For instance, we can write:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100,300,400,500,700,900|Material+Icons"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
<link
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/quasar@1.12.13/dist/quasar.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
</head>
<body class="body--dark">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@^2.0.0/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/quasar@1.12.13/dist/quasar.umd.min.js"></script>
<div id="q-app">
<q-layout
view="lHh Lpr lFf"
container
style="height: 400px;"
class="shadow-2 rounded-borders"
>
<q-drawer
v-model="drawerLeft"
:width="150"
:breakpoint="700"
behavior="desktop"
bordered
content-class="bg-grey-3"
>
<q-scroll-area class="fit">
<div class="q-pa-sm">
<div v-for="n in 50" :key="n">Drawer {{ n }} / 50</div>
</div>
</q-scroll-area>
</q-drawer>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {
drawerLeft: true
},
methods: {},
watch: {
["$q.screen"]: {
handler() {
this.drawerLeft = this.$q.screen.width > 700;
},
deep: true
}
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
We add the q-layout component to use it as the layout container.
Then we add the q-drawer inside the q-layout to add a nav drawer.
In the Vue instance, we watch the value of $q.screen ‘s width property to get the width of the screen.
And we set drawerLeft to true only when this.$q.screen.width is bigger than 700 to show the drawer.
q-scroll-area lets us create a scrollable container.
Also, we can add a header and page content with the q-header and q-page-container components respectively.
For instance, we can write:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100,300,400,500,700,900|Material+Icons"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
<link
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/quasar@1.12.13/dist/quasar.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
</head>
<body class="body--dark">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@^2.0.0/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/quasar@1.12.13/dist/quasar.umd.min.js"></script>
<div id="q-app">
<q-layout
view="lHh Lpr lFf"
container
style="height: 400px;"
class="shadow-2 rounded-borders"
>
<q-header reveal elevated>
<q-toolbar>
<q-btn
flat
round
dense
icon="menu"
@click="drawerLeft = !drawerLeft"
/>
<q-toolbar-title>
App
</q-toolbar-title>
</q-header>
<q-drawer
v-model="drawerLeft"
:width="150"
:breakpoint="700"
behavior="desktop"
bordered
content-class="bg-grey-3"
>
<q-scroll-area class="fit">
<div class="q-pa-sm">
<div v-for="n in 50" :key="n">Drawer {{ n }} / 50</div>
</div>
</q-scroll-area>
</q-drawer>
<q-page-container>
<q-page padding style="padding-top: 66px;">
<p v-for="n in 15" :key="n">
Lorem ipsum
</p>
<q-page-sticky expand position="top">
<q-toolbar class="bg-accent text-white">
<q-avatar>
<img src="https://cdn.quasar.dev/logo/svg/quasar-logo.svg" />
</q-avatar>
<q-toolbar-title>
Page Title
</q-toolbar-title>
</q-toolbar>
</q-page-sticky>
</q-page>
</q-page-container>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {
drawerLeft: true
},
methods: {},
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
We add the q-header component above q-drawer to add the header.
And we have the q-page-container to add the page container.
q-page-sticky is a container to hold the page header.
expand makes it expandable.
The p element is the content displayed below the q-page-sticky component.
Conclusion
We can add layouts with various components with Quasar into our Vue app.
