In this article, we will explore the main component libraries for Vue.js, along with their features and strengths.

When developing our application (especially if it is large), it is highly recommended that we have a component library.

These libraries provide pre-built components (such as buttons, forms, tables, etc…) that we can use and customize in our project.

UI component libraries offer a wide range of pre-built elements that make it easier to create modern and functional user interfaces.

Having a good base component library allows us to speed up development times, giving us time to focus on the important and specific parts of our project.

Furthermore, they improve design consistency, allow us to provide an attractive user experience with advanced functionalities, and all of this without the need to reinvent the wheel.

Main Component Libraries for Vue.js

There are many component libraries (in fact, there are countless). Let’s look at the most important ones or, at least, the ones I like the most.

PrimeVue

PrimeVue is one of the most popular libraries for Vue.js 3. It offers over 80 UI components, including tables, forms, modals, menus, and charts. Additionally, it is highly customizable and compatible with predefined themes.

primevue

<template>
  <Button label="Click me" icon="pi pi-check" @click="handleClick" />
</template>

<script setup>
import Button from 'primevue/button';

function handleClick() {
  alert('Button clicked!');
}
</script>

In this example, the button has an icon and a click event that shows an alert.

To this day, it is my favorite component library for Vue.js.

Vuetify

Vuetify is a UI component library based on Material Design. It offers a wide range of components and utilities to create modern and responsive interfaces.

vuetify

<template>
  <v-card>
    <v-card-title>Card Title</v-card-title>
    <v-card-text>
      This is an example of a card created with Vuetify.
    </v-card-text>
    <v-card-actions>
      <v-btn color="primary" @click="handleClick">Click me</v-btn>
    </v-card-actions>
  </v-card>
</template>

<script setup>
function handleClick() {
  alert('Button clicked!');
}
</script>

In this example, the card has a title, descriptive text, and a button with a click event.

Element Plus

Element Plus is a UI component library for Vue.js 3 based on Element UI. It offers a wide range of components and is highly customizable.
