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.
Chat Message with Avatars
We can add chat messages with avatars.
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: 100vh;"
class="shadow-2 rounded-borders"
>
<div style="width: 100%; max-width: 400px;">
<q-chat-message
name="me"
avatar="https://cdn.quasar.dev/img/avatar1.jpg"
:text="['hey, how are you?']"
sent
>
</q-chat-message>
<q-chat-message
name="Mary"
avatar="https://cdn.quasar.dev/img/avatar2.jpg"
:text="['doing fine']"
>
</q-chat-message>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
We set the avatar prop to the URL of the avatar photo.
Chat Message with Time Stamp
The stamp prop lets us add a timestamp to the chat message:
<!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: 100vh;"
class="shadow-2 rounded-borders"
>
<div style="width: 100%; max-width: 400px;">
<q-chat-message
name="me"
avatar="https://cdn.quasar.dev/img/avatar1.jpg"
:text="['hey, how are you?']"
sent
stamp="5 minutes ago"
>
</q-chat-message>
<q-chat-message
name="Mary"
avatar="https://cdn.quasar.dev/img/avatar2.jpg"
:text="['doing fine']"
stamp="3 minutes ago"
>
</q-chat-message>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
We can add the label prop to add the label:
<!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: 100vh;"
class="shadow-2 rounded-borders"
>
<div style="width: 100%; max-width: 400px;">
<q-chat-message label="Sunday, 20th"> </q-chat-message>
<q-chat-message
name="me"
avatar="https://cdn.quasar.dev/img/avatar1.jpg"
:text="['hey, how are you?']"
sent
stamp="5 minutes ago"
>
</q-chat-message>
<q-chat-message
name="Mary"
avatar="https://cdn.quasar.dev/img/avatar2.jpg"
:text="['doing fine']"
stamp="3 minutes ago"
>
</q-chat-message>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
We can change the background color of the chat message with the bg-color prop:
<!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: 100vh;"
class="shadow-2 rounded-borders"
>
<div style="width: 100%; max-width: 400px;">
<q-chat-message
name="me"
avatar="https://cdn.quasar.dev/img/avatar1.jpg"
:text="['hey, how are you?']"
sent
bg-color="amber-1"
>
</q-chat-message>
<q-chat-message
name="Mary"
avatar="https://cdn.quasar.dev/img/avatar2.jpg"
:text="['doing fine']"
text-color="white"
bg-color="primary"
>
</q-chat-message>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
