Make sure you have typescript installed in your dev dependencies.
  1. Register the Nuxt UI module in your nuxt.config.ts:
nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/ui']
})
  1. Import Tailwind CSS and Nuxt UI in your app.vue or CSS:
app.vue
<style>
@import "tailwindcss";
@import "@nuxt/ui";
</style>

Options

You can customize Nuxt UI by providing options in your nuxt.config.ts:

prefix

Use the prefix option to change the prefix of the components.

  • Default: U
nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/ui'],
  ui: {
    prefix: 'Nuxt'
  }
})

fonts

Use the fonts option to enable or disable the @nuxt/fonts module.

Use the theme.colors option to choose which Tailwind CSS colors are used to generate classes for components.

  • Default: ['primary', 'secondary', 'success', 'info', 'warning', 'error']
nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/ui'],
