Integrate Vuetify in Vue3
March 8, 2025 · AI Conversations
1. **Install Vuetify 3**: Open your terminal in the root directory of your Vue 3 project and run:
npm install vuetify@next
This command installs the latest version of Vuetify 3.
2. **Set Up Vuetify**: Create a new file `vuetify.js` (or `vuetify.ts` if you're using TypeScript) in the `src/plugins` directory:
// src/plugins/vuetify.js
import { createVuetify } from 'vuetify'
import * as components from 'vuetify/components'
import * as directives from 'vuetify/directives'
import 'vuetify/styles'
const vuetify = createVuetify({
components,
directives,
})
export default vuetify
This script sets up Vuetify with its components and directives.
3. **Configure Vuetify in Your Application**: In your `main.js` (or `main.ts`), import and use the Vuetify instance:
// src/main.js
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import vuetify from './plugins/vuetify'
const app = createApp(App)
app.use(vuetify)
app.mount('#app')
This integrates Vuetify into your Vue application.
4. **Wrap Your App with “**: Ensure that your root component (usually `App.vue`) is wrapped with the “ component to apply Vuetify's styles and layout properly:
<!-- src/App.vue -->
<template>
<v-app>
<!-- Your application components -->
</v-app>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'App',
}
</script>
This step is crucial for Vuetify's styling to function correctly.

import createVuetify from 'vuetify'
import { aliases, mdi } from 'vuetify/iconsets/mdi'
import * as components from 'vuetify/components'
import * as directives from 'vuetify/directives'
import { VDataTable } from 'vuetify/components'
const vuetify = createVuetify({
components: {
VDataTable,
…components
},
directives,
icons: {
defaultSet: 'mdi',
aliases,
sets: {
mdi,
},
},
})
export default vuetify
### **Fix: Correct Import**
Modify your `vuetify.ts` file like this:
import { createVuetify } from 'vuetify' // Fix: Use named import
import { aliases, mdi } from 'vuetify/iconsets/mdi'
import * as components from 'vuetify/components'
import * as directives from 'vuetify/directives'
import { VDataTable } from 'vuetify/labs/VDataTable' // Fix: Correct path for VDataTable
import 'vuetify/styles' // Ensure styles are imported
const vuetify = createVuetify({
components: {
VDataTable,
...components
},
directives,
icons: {
defaultSet: 'mdi',
aliases,
sets: {
mdi,
},
},
})
export default vuetify
### **Key Fixes:**
1. ✅ **Use Named Import for `createVuetify`**
– `import { createVuetify } from 'vuetify'` instead of `import createVuetify from 'vuetify'`
2. ✅ **Ensure Vuetify Styles are Imported**
– `import 'vuetify/styles'`
3. ✅ **Use the Correct Import for `VDataTable`**
– `import { VDataTable } from 'vuetify/labs/VDataTable'` (since it's part of Vuetify Labs)
After making these changes, restart your Vite development server:
npm run dev
Let me know if you need further assistance! 🚀
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import { vuetify } from './vuetify'
import { createPinia } from 'pinia'
import App from './App.vue'
import router from './router'
const app = createApp(App)
app.use(createPinia())
app.use(router)
app.use(vuetify)
app.mount('#app')
import { vuetify } from './vuetify'
However, in your `vuetify.ts` file, you are exporting Vuetify as the **default export**:
export default vuetify
### **Fix the Import**
Change this line in your `main.js` or `main.ts`:
import vuetify from './vuetify' // Correct import for default export
### **Final Working Code**
import './assets/main.css'
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import vuetify from './vuetify' // Fix: Corrected import
import { createPinia } from 'pinia'
import App from './App.vue'
import router from './router'
const app = createApp(App)
app.use(createPinia())
app.use(router)
app.use(vuetify) // Works now
app.mount('#app')
### **Restart Vite**
After making this change, restart your development server:
npm run dev
This should resolve your issue. 🚀 Let me know if you need further assistance! 😊
### **Solution 1: Ensure You're Using the Latest Vuetify 3**
First, check your installed Vuetify version:
npm list vuetify
If it's outdated, update Vuetify to the latest version:
npm install vuetify@latest
Then, restart your development server:
npm run dev
—
### **Solution 2: Use the Correct Import for `VDataTable`**
In Vuetify 3, the `VDataTable` component is available under `vuetify/labs/components`. Try this:
#### **Update your `vuetify.ts` file:**
import { createVuetify } from 'vuetify'
import { aliases, mdi } from 'vuetify/iconsets/mdi'
import * as components from 'vuetify/components'
import * as directives from 'vuetify/directives'
import { VDataTable } from 'vuetify/labs/components' // ✅ Correct import
import 'vuetify/styles'
const vuetify = createVuetify({
components: {
VDataTable, // ✅ Ensure it's included correctly
...components
},
directives,
icons: {
defaultSet: 'mdi',
aliases,
sets: {
mdi,
},
},
})
export default vuetify
—
### **Solution 3: Check if `VDataTable` is Installed**
Run the following command to ensure that the Labs components are installed:
npm list | grep vuetify
If `vuetify/labs` is missing, reinstall Vuetify:
npm install vuetify@latest
Then restart your Vite server:
npm run dev
—
### **Solution 4: If `VDataTable` is Not Found in Labs**
If your project doesn't recognize `vuetify/labs/components`, use the standard `VDataTable`:
import { VDataTable } from 'vuetify/components'
Then, update your `components` section:
components: {
...components,
VDataTable,
},
—
After making these changes, restart your Vite server and test again. Let me know if you need further help! 🚀😊

### **Solution 1: Add a Type Declaration for `.vue` Files**
Create a new file **`src/shims-vue.d.ts`** and add the following content:
// src/shims-vue.d.ts
declare module '*.vue' {
import { DefineComponent } from 'vue'
const component: DefineComponent<{}, {}, any>
export default component
}
This tells TypeScript that any `.vue` file should be treated as a Vue component.
—
### **Solution 2: Install Vue's TypeScript Support (if missing)**
Ensure that Vue's TypeScript support is installed:
npm install -D @vue/tsconfig
If you are using TypeScript with Vite, also install:
npm install -D vite-plugin-vue
—
### **Solution 3: Update `tsconfig.json`**
Ensure your **`tsconfig.json`** includes the following settings:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"moduleResolution": "node",
"esModuleInterop": true,
"allowJs": true,
"resolveJsonModule": true,
"jsx": "preserve",
"types": ["vite/client"] // ✅ Ensure Vite types are included
}
}
—
### **Solution 4: Restart Your Dev Server**
After making the changes, restart your development server:
npm run dev
—
### **Solution 5: Check Import Path**
Ensure that your import path for `IconLoading.vue` is correct. If using **Vite**, avoid `@` aliases in TypeScript files unless configured.
Instead of:
import IconLoading from '@/components/icons/IconLoading.vue'
Try:
import IconLoading from '../components/icons/IconLoading.vue'
—
After applying these solutions, the TypeScript error should be resolved! 🚀 Let me know if you need further assistance. 😊

## **1. Install Vuetify (If Not Installed)**
If you haven't installed Vuetify yet, run:
npm install vuetify
—
## **2. Create the Layout Structure**
We'll create a main layout component called **`DefaultLayout.vue`**, which includes:
– **App Bar (Header)**
– **Navigation Drawer (Sidebar)**
– **Footer**
– **Main Content Area**
### **📄 `src/layouts/DefaultLayout.vue`**
<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { useDisplay } from 'vuetify'
const drawer = ref(false)
const display = useDisplay()
</script>
<template>
<v-app>
<!-- App Bar (Header) -->
<v-app-bar color="primary" dark>
<v-app-bar-nav-icon @click="drawer = !drawer"></v-app-bar-nav-icon>
<v-toolbar-title>My Application</v-toolbar-title>
<v-spacer></v-spacer>
<v-btn icon>
<v-icon>mdi-account</v-icon>
</v-btn>
</v-app-bar>
<!-- Sidebar Navigation (Drawer) -->
<v-navigation-drawer v-model="drawer" app temporary>
<v-list>
<v-list-item title="Dashboard" prepend-icon="mdi-view-dashboard"></v-list-item>
<v-list-item title="Profile" prepend-icon="mdi-account"></v-list-item>
<v-list-item title="Settings" prepend-icon="mdi-cog"></v-list-item>
</v-list>
</v-navigation-drawer>
<!-- Main Content -->
<v-main>
<v-container>
<slot />
</v-container>
</v-main>
<!-- Footer -->
<v-footer color="grey darken-3" app>
<v-container class="text-center white--text">
© {{ new Date().getFullYear() }} My Application
</v-container>
</v-footer>
</v-app>
</template>
—
## **3. Use the Layout in Your App**
Now, update your **`App.vue`** to use this layout.
### **📄 `src/App.vue`**
<script setup>
import DefaultLayout from './layouts/DefaultLayout.vue'
</script>
<template>
<DefaultLayout>
<router-view />
</DefaultLayout>
</template>
—
## **4. Ensure Vuetify is Installed in `main.js`**
Update **`main.js`** to include Vuetify:
### **📄 `src/main.js`**
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import vuetify from './vuetify' // Ensure Vuetify is imported
import { createPinia } from 'pinia'
import router from './router'
const app = createApp(App)
app.use(createPinia())
app.use(router)
app.use(vuetify)
app.mount('#app')
—
## **5. Style Customizations (Optional)**
You can customize the **header, footer, and sidebar** colors and styles using Vuetify's built-in themes or by overriding styles in **`main.css`**.
—
## **Final Notes**
– The **app bar** contains a menu button (for opening the sidebar) and a user account icon.
– The **navigation drawer (sidebar)** contains menu items.
– The **footer** sticks to the bottom of the page.
– The **main content area** displays the current route.
This provides a **responsive** and **modular** layout that works well for most Vue 3 + Vuetify projects. 🚀 Let me know if you need further customizations! 😊

### **1. Install Material Design Icons (MDI)**
Vuetify uses Material Design Icons (MDI) by default. If the icons are missing, install the MDI package:
npm install @mdi/font
—
### **2. Import MDI Icons in `main.js`**
You need to explicitly include the MDI font in your `vuetify.ts` (or `main.js` if you haven't set up a separate file for Vuetify).
#### **📄 `src/vuetify.ts`**
// Vuetify setup with MDI icons
import 'vuetify/styles'
import { createVuetify } from 'vuetify'
import { aliases, mdi } from 'vuetify/iconsets/mdi'
// Ensure @mdi/font is loaded
import '@mdi/font/css/materialdesignicons.css'
const vuetify = createVuetify({
icons: {
defaultSet: 'mdi',
aliases,
sets: {
mdi,
},
},
})
export default vuetify
—
### **3. Restart the Dev Server**
After making these changes, restart your Vite development server:
npm run dev
—
### **4. Verify Icon Usage**
Ensure you are using the `v-icon` component correctly:
<v-icon>mdi-account</v-icon>
If the issue persists, try specifying the icon explicitly using the `icon` prop:
<v-icon icon="mdi-account"></v-icon>
—
### **5. Check Console for Errors**
If the icons still don't appear, open the **browser console (`F12` → Console tab)** and check for errors related to missing fonts or CSS issues.
—
### **Final Confirmation**
After completing these steps, the **mdi-account** icon should display correctly! 🎉 Let me know if you still face any issues. 🚀
import { createVuetify } from 'vuetify' // Fix: Use named import
import { aliases, mdi } from 'vuetify/iconsets/mdi'
import * as components from 'vuetify/components'
import * as directives from 'vuetify/directives'
import 'vuetify/styles' // Ensure styles are imported
const vuetify = createVuetify({
components: {
…components
},
directives,
icons: {
defaultSet: 'mdi',
aliases,
sets: {
mdi,
},
},
})
export default vuetify
—
### **1. Ensure MDI Font is Installed**
Even though you have configured Vuetify to use `mdi` icons, you must install the **Material Design Icons (MDI) font**:
npm install @mdi/font
—
### **2. Import MDI Font in `main.css` or `vuetify.ts`**
Vuetify does **not** automatically include the MDI font. You need to **explicitly import it**.
#### **Option 1: Import in `vuetify.ts`**
import '@mdi/font/css/materialdesignicons.css'
#### **Option 2: Import in `main.css`**
If you have a global CSS file (`src/assets/main.css`), add this:
@import '@mdi/font/css/materialdesignicons.css';
—
### **3. Use the Icon Correctly**
Ensure you are using the `v-icon` component correctly:
<v-icon>mdi-account</v-icon>
Alternatively, explicitly pass the icon using a prop:
<v-icon icon="mdi-account"></v-icon>
—
### **4. Restart Your Dev Server**
Once you've made these changes, restart your Vite development server:
npm run dev
—
### **5. Verify in DevTools**
– Open **DevTools (`F12`) → Elements tab**.
– Check if the `mdi-account` icon is being rendered as “.
– If not, Vuetify might not be picking up the icon font.
—
### **6. Check the Vuetify Version**
Run the following to check your Vuetify version:
npm list vuetify
If you are using **Vuetify 3**, ensure that you have the correct configuration.
—
### **7. If Still Not Working, Try a Test Icon**
Instead of `mdi-account`, try:
<v-icon>mdi-home</v-icon>
If **no icons** show, the issue is with the MDI font loading.
—
### **Final Steps**
After following these steps, your icons should appear correctly. Let me know if you still face issues! 🚀
– **Two filters on the left** (e.g., category, price range).
– **Three posts in a row** on the right (responsive grid).

### **Implementation:**
<template>
<v-container>
<v-row>
<!-- Filters (Left Sidebar) -->
<v-col cols="12" md="3">
<v-card class="pa-4">
<v-card-title>Filters</v-card-title>
<v-divider></v-divider>
<v-select label="Category" :items="categories"></v-select>
<v-slider label="Price Range" v-model="price" min="0" max="1000"></v-slider>
</v-card>
</v-col>
<!-- Posts Grid (Right) -->
<v-col cols="12" md="9">
<v-row>
<v-col v-for="post in posts" :key="post.id" cols="12" sm="6" md="4">
<v-card>
<v-img :src="post.image" height="150px" cover></v-img>
<v-card-title>{{ post.title }}</v-card-title>
<v-card-text>{{ post.description }}</v-card-text>
<v-card-actions>
<v-btn color="primary">Read More</v-btn>
</v-card-actions>
</v-card>
</v-col>
</v-row>
</v-col>
</v-row>
</v-container>
</template>
<script setup>
import { ref } from "vue";
const categories = ref(["Tech", "Health", "Travel", "Education"]);
const price = ref(500);
const posts = ref([
{ id: 1, title: "Post 1", description: "This is post 1.", image: "https://via.placeholder.com/150" },
{ id: 2, title: "Post 2", description: "This is post 2.", image: "https://via.placeholder.com/150" },
{ id: 3, title: "Post 3", description: "This is post 3.", image: "https://via.placeholder.com/150" },
{ id: 4, title: "Post 4", description: "This is post 4.", image: "https://via.placeholder.com/150" },
{ id: 5, title: "Post 5", description: "This is post 5.", image: "https://via.placeholder.com/150" },
{ id: 6, title: "Post 6", description: "This is post 6.", image: "https://via.placeholder.com/150" },
]);
</script>
—
### **Explanation:**
✅ **Left Sidebar (Filters)**
– A **card** with a category dropdown (`v-select`) and a price slider (`v-slider`).
✅ **Right Section (Posts in Grid Layout)**
– **Three posts per row (`md=4`)**, adjusting responsively (`sm=6`, `cols=12`).
– Each post is inside a **Vuetify card (`v-card`)** with an image, title, description, and button.
—
### **Responsive Behavior:**
– On **large screens** → 3 posts per row.
– On **tablets** → 2 posts per row.
– On **mobile** → 1 post per row.
—
### **Final Output:**
A **clean, responsive layout** with filters on the left and **posts in a 3-column grid on the right**! 🚀 Let me know if you need modifications. 🎨
