@artisanpack-ui/vue 2.0 renders the design system's components for Vue 3.5 and later.

Install

npm install @artisanpack-ui/vue @artisanpack-ui/css

The behavior engine (@artisanpack-ui/behavior) and its Vue adapter come as dependencies, so there's nothing else to install.

Load the CSS

Load the CSS once, in your app's entry:

// main.ts
import '@artisanpack-ui/css';

With Tailwind v4, import it from your Tailwind entry stylesheet instead, after the layer order line. See With Tailwind.

Apply the theme before the first paint

Render ThemeScript in the document <head> (with server rendering) so a stored dark or high-contrast choice applies before the page paints. In a single-page app with a static index.html, inline the output of themeScript() from @artisanpack-ui/behavior in <head> instead. With Nuxt, add it as a head script, before any stylesheet: useHead({ script: [{ innerHTML: themeScript(), tagPriority: 'critical' }] }). See Themes.

Your first component

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue';
import { Button, Input } from '@artisanpack-ui/vue';

const email = ref('');
</script>

<template>
  <form>
    <Input v-model="email" label="Email" type="email" name="email" />
    <Button type="submit" color="primary">Sign in</Button>
  </form>
</template>

Components can also be imported from category subpaths (@artisanpack-ui/vue/form, /layout, /navigation, /display, /data, /feedback, /utility, /composables and /ai), each with its own type declarations.

v-model

Form components support v-model, and overlays bind their open state with v-model:open:

<Dialog v-model:open="editing" title="Edit profile">…</Dialog>

Next steps

  • Components: every component with a Vue tab.
  • Theming: presets and your own brand.
  • Vue documentation: Inertia, server rendering, the composables, the AI components and more.
