System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components
Creating Vue application using Vue CLI
The easiest way to create a Vue application is to use the Vue CLI
. Vue CLI versions above 4.5.0
are mandatory for creating applications using Vue 3. Use the following command to uninstall older versions of the Vue CLI.
npm uninstall vue-cli -g
Use the following commands to install the latest version of Vue CLI.
npm install -g @vue/cli
npm install -g @vue/cli-init
Create a new project using the command below.
vue create quickstart
Initiating a new project prompts us to choose the type of project to be used for the current application. Select the option Default (Vue 3)
from the menu.
Adding Syncfusion DateRangePicker package in the application
Syncfusion Vue packages are maintained in the npmjs.com
registry. The DateRangePicker component will be used in this example. To install it use the following command.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars --save
Adding CSS reference for Syncfusion Vue DateRangePicker component
Import the needed css styles for the DateRangePicker component along with dependency styles in the <style>
section of the src/App.vue
file as follows.
<style>
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css';
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars/styles/material.css";
</style>
Adding Syncfusion Vue DateRangePicker component in the application
You have completed all the necessary configurations needed for rendering the Syncfusion Vue component. Now, you are going to add the DateRangePicker component using following steps.
Import the DateRangePicker component in the <script>
section of the src/App.vue
file.
<script>
import { DateRangePickerComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
</script>
Register the DateRangePicker component.
import { DateRangePickerComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
//Component registeration
export default {
name: "App",
components: {
'ejs-daterangepicker' : DateRangePickerComponent,
}
}
Add the component definition in template section.
<template>
<div class="control_wrapper">
<ejs-daterangepicker></ejs-daterangepicker>
</div>
</template>
Summarizing the above steps, update the src/App.vue
file with following code.
<template>
<div class="control_wrapper">
<ejs-daterangepicker></ejs-daterangepicker>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { DateRangePickerComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
//Component registeration
export default {
name: 'App',
components: {
"ejs-daterangepicker": DateRangePickerComponent
},
}

<style>
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css';
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars/styles/material.css";
.control_wrapper {

margin: 0 auto;
}
