    • Install any MDB package with a single command
    • Easy updates with a single command
    • Backend starter templates (Laravel, plain PHP, node.js & more)
    • WordPress setup in 3 minutes (blog, ecommerce or blank project)
    • Git repository for you and your team

    Vite

    Note: As of version 3.0.0 of the MDB Vue Ui Kit, we encourage everyone to use TypeScript with our components.

    Vite (French word for "fast", pronounced /vit/) is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects. Our UI KIT can be imported in Vite applications according to the following procedure:

    Step 1

    Init the project. Select a vue framework during installation.

    npm init vite@latest

    Step 2

    Navigate to app's directory. Replace <vite-project> with your project name.

    cd <vite-project>

    Step 3

    Install dependencies.

    npm install

    Step 4

    Setup MDB.

    npm install mdb-vue-ui-kit

    Step 5

    Add devSourceMap to your vite.config.ts file

    export default defineConfig({
  css: {
    devSourcemap: true,
  },
  plugins: [vue()],
});

    Step 6

    Import CSS. Add the following line at the beginning of your main.ts file:

    import 'mdb-vue-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css';

    Step 7

    Import Font Awesome. Add the following line in public/index.html file inside head section: 

    <link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.0.0/css/all.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

    Step 8

    Import Roboto font. Add the following line in public/index.html file inside head section: 

    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700,900&display=swap" rel="stylesheet" />

    Set font family in src/App.vue inside style section as in the example: 

    #app {
  font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}

    Step 9

    Import MDB components. You can use an experimental <script setup> proposal. In the example below we showed how to import an exemplary MDBBtn component.

    <template>
  <h1>{{ msg }}</h1>

  <p>
    <a href="https://vitejs.dev/guide/features.html" target="_blank">
      Vite Documentation
    </a>
    |
    <a href="https://v3.vuejs.org/" target="_blank">Vue 3 Documentation</a>
  </p>

  <MDBBtn color="primary" class="mb-3" @click="state.count++">
    count is: {{ state.count }}
  </MDBBtn>

  <p>
    Edit components/HelloWorld.vue to test hot module replacement.
  </p>

</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
  import { defineProps, reactive } from "vue";
  import { MDBBtn } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";

  defineProps({
    msg: String,
  });

  const state = reactive({ count: 0 });
</script>

<style scoped>
  a {
    color: #42b983;
  }
</style>

    Step 9

    Launch the application.

    npm run dev

    Vue CLI

    Prerequisites

    Before starting the project make sure to install Vue CLI (5.x.x or higher) and Node LTS (16.x.x or higher).

    Step 1

    Create Vue App. Choose Vue 3.x.x. version.
    We also recommend to use TypeScript (Manually select features / choose TypeScript).

    vue create my-app

    Step 2

    Navigate to app's directory

    cd my-app

    MDB installation

    Step 1

    • decide whether to add MDB welcome page

    Step 2

    NPM

    Installation

    To install MDB VUE UI KIT in your project easily type the following command in the terminal: 

    npm i mdb-vue-ui-kit

    CSS import

    Add the following line at the beginning of your main.ts file:

    import 'mdb-vue-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css';

    Font Awesome

    Add the following line in public/index.html file inside head section: 

    <link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.0.0/css/all.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

    Roboto font

    Add the following line in public/index.html file inside head section: 

    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700,900&display=swap" rel="stylesheet" />

    Set font family in src/App.vue inside style section as in the example: 

    #app {
  font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}

    CDN

    You can easily test MDB Vue components by adding CDN scripts to your classic HTML template without the need for installing any packages. All components will be accessible from the global variable mdb. In this case, however, you must not use PascalCase when creating component names. We recommend adopting a naming convention as in the example below: 

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>MDB Vue App</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
    <meta
      name="viewport"
      content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0"
    />
    <link
      href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.0.0/css/all.min.css"
      rel="stylesheet"
    />
    <link
      href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700,900&display=swap"
      rel="stylesheet"
    />
    <link
      rel="stylesheet"
      href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mdb-vue-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css"
    />
  </head>

  <body>
    <div id="app">
      <mdb-btn color="primary">Button</mdb-btn>
    </div>

    <script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@next"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mdb-vue-ui-kit/js/mdb.umd.min.js"></script>
    <script>
      const App = {
        components: {
          mdbBtn: mdb.MDBBtn,
        },
      };

      Vue.createApp(App).mount("#app");
    </script>
  </body>
