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.

Toggle Indeterminate State

A Quasar toggle can be set to an indeterminate state.

To add it, we set the indeterminate-value 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 class="q-pa-md">  
          <q-toggle  
            indeterminate-value="maybe"  
            false-value="disagree"  
            true-value="agree"  
            v-model="value"  
            color="green"  
          >  
          </q-toggle>  
        </div>  
      </q-layout>  
    </div>  
    <script>  
      new Vue({  
        el: "#q-app",  
        data: {  
          value: "maybe"  
        }  
      });  
    </script>  
  </body>  
</html>

We set the indeterminate-value prop to set the value when the toggle button is displayed in the middle.

Toggle Order

The order of toggling can be changed.

We change it with the toggle-order 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 class="q-pa-md">  
          <q-toggle  
            toggle-indeterminate  
            toggle-order="ft"  
            v-model="value"  
            label="'ft' order"  
            color="orange"  
          ></q-toggle>  
        </div>  
      </q-layout>  
    </div>  
    <script>  
      new Vue({  
        el: "#q-app",  
        data: {  
          value: ""  
        }  
      });  
    </script>  
  </body>  
</html>

toggle-order set to ft sets the toggle to first toggle to false and then to false .

We can also set it to tf to do the opposite.

We can set the q-toggle to display on a dark background with the dark 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 class="q-pa-md bg-grey-10 text-white">  
          <q-toggle color="blue" dark v-model="value"></q-toggle>  
        </div>  
      </q-layout>  
    </div>  
    <script>  
      new Vue({  
        el: "#q-app",  
        data: {  
          value: false  
        }  
      });  
    </script>  
  </body>  
</html>

We add the bg-grey-10 class to show a dark background and text-white to display the text in white.

To disable the toggle, we add the disabled 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 class="q-pa-md">  
          <q-toggle color="primary" disable v-model="value"></q-toggle>  
        </div>  
      </q-layout>  
    </div>  
    <script>  
      new Vue({  
        el: "#q-app",  
        data: {  
          value: false  
        }  
      });  
    </script>  
  </body>  
</html>

The size of the toggle can be changed with the size 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 class="q-pa-md">  
          <q-toggle size="xl" color="primary" v-model="value"></q-toggle>  
        </div>  
      </q-layout>  
    </div>  
    <script>  
      new Vue({  
        el: "#q-app",  
        data: {  
          value: false  
        }  
      });  
    </script>  
  </body>  
</html>

We set the size prop to xl to make it extra large.

Other possible values include xs , sm , md , lg , and xl .

Conclusion

We can change many options with Quasar’s toggle.
