What is vuetify?
Vuetify is a popular Vue.js component framework that provides a wide range of pre-made components and styles to help developers build visually appealing and responsive web applications quickly. It follows the Material Design guidelines and offers a rich set of features including layout systems, form controls, data tables, and more.
What are vuetify's main functionalities?
Layout System
Vuetify's layout system allows you to create responsive layouts using a grid system. The example demonstrates a simple layout with a primary and secondary content area using `v-container`, `v-row`, and `v-col` components.
<template>
<v-container>
<v-row>
<v-col cols="12" md="8">
<v-card>
<v-card-title>Primary Content</v-card-title>
<v-card-text>This is the main content area.</v-card-text>
</v-card>
</v-col>
<v-col cols="12" md="4">
<v-card>
<v-card-title>Secondary Content</v-card-title>
<v-card-text>This is the secondary content area.</v-card-text>
</v-card>
</v-col>
</v-row>
</v-container>
</template>
Form Controls
Vuetify provides a variety of form controls such as text fields, buttons, and more. The example shows a simple form with two text fields and a submit button, demonstrating how to use `v-text-field` and `v-btn` components.
<template>
<v-form>
<v-text-field label="Name" v-model="name"></v-text-field>
<v-text-field label="Email" v-model="email"></v-text-field>
<v-btn @click="submitForm">Submit</v-btn>
</v-form>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
name: '',
email: ''
};
},
methods: {
submitForm() {
// Form submission logic
}
}
};
</script>
Data Tables
Vuetify's data tables allow you to display tabular data with ease. The example shows a simple data table with two columns, 'Name' and 'Age', using the `v-data-table` component.
<template>
<v-data-table :headers="headers" :items="items"></v-data-table>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
headers: [
{ text: 'Name', value: 'name' },
{ text: 'Age', value: 'age' }
],
items: [
{ name: 'John Doe', age: 30 },
{ name: 'Jane Smith', age: 25 }
]
};
}
};
</script>

Build amazing applications with the power of Vue and Material Design with a massive library of beautifully crafted components. Built for speed, Vuetify components feature an easy-to-remember semantic design that shifts remembering complex classes and markup, to type-as-you speak properties that have simple and clear names.

modern browsers, including IE11 and Safari 9+. From mobile to laptop to desktop, you can rest assured that your application will work as expected. Interested in the bleeding edge? Try the vue-cli Webpack SSR (Server side rendered) template and build the ultimate UI.

<link href="https://unpkg.com/vuetify/dist/vuetify.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Or you can import it to your webpack entry point
require('/path/to/node_modules/vuetify/dist/vuetify.min.css')
Keep in mind, you will need to ensure your webpack config contains a css-loader.
