Nuxt Headless UI
Headless UI integration for Nuxt. Completely unstyled, fully accessible UI components, designed to integrate beautifully with Tailwind CSS.
Headless UI documentation for Vue: https://headlessui.com/vue/menu
Features
- Automatic dynamic imports (no global components)
- Fully type safe
- Configurable component prefix (defaults to
Headless
)
Quick Setup
- Add
nuxt-headlessui
dependency to your project
# Using pnpm
pnpm add -D nuxt-headlessui
# Using yarn
yarn add --dev nuxt-headlessui
# Using npm
npm install --save-dev nuxt-headlessui
- Add
nuxt-headlessui
to themodules
section ofnuxt.config.ts
{
modules: [
'nuxt-headlessui'
],
// Optionally change the default prefix.
headlessui: {
prefix: 'Headless'
}
}
- Add the following lines to your
app.vue
file inside<script setup>
:
// Use SSR-safe IDs for Headless UI
provideHeadlessUseId(() => useId())
This is required to avoid hydration issues, because of id mismatches. Both composables will be auto-imported by nuxt. The provideHeadlessUseId
composable is an alias for the provideUseId
composable from @headlessui/vue
. import { provideUseId } from '@headlessui/vue'
directly won't work out of the box.
That's it! You can now use Headless UI in your Nuxt app ✨
Usage
After completing setup, simply use the headless components in your components and pages and style them with your favourite CSS framework. You don't have to import the components. Here is an example of a Listbox (Select), which uses heroicons and Tailwind CSS:
<template>
<div class="container mx-auto">
<div class="w-72">
<HeadlessListbox v-model="selectedPerson">
<div class="relative mt-1">
<HeadlessListboxButton
class="relative w-full cursor-default rounded-lg bg-white py-2 pl-3 pr-10 text-left shadow-md focus:outline-none focus-visible:border-indigo-500 focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-white focus-visible:ring-opacity-75 focus-visible:ring-offset-2 focus-visible:ring-offset-orange-300 sm:text-sm"
>
<span class="block truncate">{{ selectedPerson.name }}</span>
<span
class="pointer-events-none absolute inset-y-0 right-0 flex items-center pr-2"
>
<ChevronUpDownIcon
class="h-5 w-5 text-gray-400"
aria-hidden="true"
/>
</span>
</HeadlessListboxButton>
<transition
leave-active-class="transition duration-100 ease-in"
leave-from-class="opacity-100"
leave-to-class="opacity-0"
>
<HeadlessListboxOptions
class="absolute mt-1 max-h-60 w-full overflow-auto rounded-md bg-white py-1 text-base shadow-lg ring-1 ring-black ring-opacity-5 focus:outline-none sm:text-sm"
>
<HeadlessListboxOption
v-for="person in people"
v-slot="{ active, selected }"
:key="person.name"
:value="person"
as="template"
>
<li
:class="[
active ? 'bg-amber-100 text-amber-900' : 'text-gray-900',
'relative cursor-default select-none py-2 pl-10 pr-4',
]"
>
<span
:class="[
selected ? 'font-medium' : 'font-normal',
'block truncate',
]"
>{{ person.name }}</span>
<span
v-if="selected"
class="absolute inset-y-0 left-0 flex items-center pl-3 text-amber-600"
>
<CheckIcon class="h-5 w-5" aria-hidden="true" />
</span>
</li>
</HeadlessListboxOption>
</HeadlessListboxOptions>
</transition>
</div>
</HeadlessListbox>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { CheckIcon, ChevronUpDownIcon } from '@heroicons/vue/20/solid'
const people = [
{ name: 'Wade Cooper' },
{ name: 'Arlene Mccoy' },
{ name: 'Devon Webb' },
{ name: 'Tom Cook' },
{ name: 'Tanya Fox' },
{ name: 'Hellen Schmidt' }
]
const selectedPerson = ref(people[0])
</script>
If you are using Tailwind CSS, you can use the @headlessui/tailwindcss plugin to get modifiers like ui-open:*
and ui-active:*
