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.
Dropdown Colors
We can change the text and background colors of dropdowns.
For example, 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 class="q-pa-md">
<q-select
color="grey-3"
outlined
label-color="orange"
v-model="model"
:options="options"
label="Label"
>
<template v-slot:append>
<q-icon name="event" color="orange" />
</template>
</q-select>
<br />
<q-select
color="lime-11"
bg-color="green"
filled
v-model="model"
:options="options"
label="Label"
>
<template v-slot:prepend>
<q-icon name="event" />
</template>
</q-select>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {
options: ["apple", "orange", "grape"],
model: ""
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
We set the color prop to set the border color.
label-color sets the label color.
bg-color sets the background color.
Clearable Dropdown
We can add the clearable prop to let us clear the selected value.
To do this, we 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 class="q-pa-md">
<q-select
clearable
filled
color="purple-12"
v-model="model"
:options="options"
label="Label"
></q-select>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {
options: ["apple", "orange", "grape"],
model: ""
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Show Options in a Dialog
We can show dropdown options in a dialog.
To do this, we 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 class="q-pa-md">
<q-select
filled
v-model="model"
label="Simple select"
:options="options"
style="width: 250px;"
behavior="dialog"
></q-select>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {
options: ["apple", "orange", "grape"],
model: ""
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
We set the behavior to dialog to make the items show in a dialog box.
Multiple Selections
We can let users select multiple items from a dropdown.
For example, 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 class="q-pa-md">
<q-select
filled
v-model="model"
label="Simple select"
:options="options"
multiple
></q-select>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {
options: ["apple", "orange", "grape"],
model: []
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
We add the multiple prop to let users select multiple options.
model is an array so the selected items can be added with push .
Conclusion
We can add dropdowns with various options into our Vue app with the Quasar library.
