Features

Oruga is a lightweight UI components library for Vue.js without any dependency. It offers a set of easily customisable components and doesn't depend on any specific style or CSS framework (like Bootstrap, Bulma, TailwindCSS, etc...). Therefore, it doesn't provide a grid system or CSS utilities, but you can integrate any CSS framework you like. Oruga provides you with a set of functional components, so you can focus only on the UI/UX aspects of your application and can be entirely flexible for future changes without having to touch a line of JavaScript.

• CSS framework agnostic: No dependency on a specific CSS framework/library but you can easily integrate the components with one of them because they are fully customizable in different ways
• Components with steroids: most of the components aren't a simple wrapper of native elements but they add new and custom features
• Lightweight: no other internal dependency and import only components that you need

If you need a component library and want to easily apply your custom styles, Oruga is the library for you! 🐛

In addition, if you don't want to style everything yourself, we've created several themes to provide you with a variety of ready-to-use styles. 🦋

Documentation

Browse online documentation here.

💅 For more info about components customization, read carefully the "customization" section in the documentation.

🕹 To see Oruga in action, go to the Example section in the documentation.

Note: the documentation source code is in the docs directory, it serves as the demo as well.

Quick start

🐛 Oruga is available for Vue.js version 3.x

Setup Oruga

1. Install Oruga.

npm install @oruga-ui/oruga-next

2. Import the components:

• To get started quickly, use Oruga to register all components:

  import { createApp } from 'vue'
  import Oruga from '@oruga-ui/oruga-next';
  
  createApp(...).use(Oruga);

• To use tree shaking, either register component manually:

  import { createApp } from 'vue'
  import { OField, OInput } from '@oruga-ui/oruga'
  
  createApp(...)
    .use(OField)
    .use(OInput)

• or import them in your SFC.

Customization

Oruga's superpower is its configurability and its CSS framework agnostic approach. Each component can be individually customised and configured by defining specific classes using a class-mapping approach. Therefore, Oruga comes without any styling by default. However, there are several official predefined configurations called themes, which you can include and extend to give your application a individual look and feel. And all components came with predefined classes by default.

Please read the "customization" section in Oruga documentation.

If you want to see an example with a fully customized registration form using Tailwind, Bulma, Bootstrap or Material CSS framework have a look at the official Oruga multiframework example (source code available here) or if you're more familiar with TailwindCSS 2 give our official TailwindCSS Demo a try (source code here)

Using Oruga with Nuxt

Oruga doesn't provide a Nuxt.js module at the moment.

You can use Nuxt.js plugins system adding a file (e.g. oruga.js) in your plugins folder containing:

import Oruga from '@oruga-ui/oruga-next';

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  nuxtApp.vueApp.use(Oruga);
});

To make this plugin available in your app, add this file to the plugins array in your nuxt.config.js

plugins: [{ src: '~plugins/oruga.js' }]

To understand how the plugins work with Nuxt.js, take a look at the NuxtJS plugin documentation.

Take a look at the official NuxtJS + Oruga example.
