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.
Syncfusion Vue packages are maintained in the npmjs.com
registry.
The DropDownList component will be used in this example. To install it use the following command.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns --save
Import the needed css styles for the DropDownList 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-inputs/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns/styles/material.css";
</style>
You have completed all the necessary configurations needed for rendering the Syncfusion Vue component. Now, you are going to add the DropDownList component using following steps.
Import the DropDownList component in the <script>
section of the src/App.vue
file.
<script>
import { DropDownListComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns";
</script>
Register the DropDownList component.
import { DropDownListComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns";
//Component registeration
export default {
name: "App",
components: {
'ejs-dropdownlist' : DropDownListComponent,
}
}
Add the component definition in template section.
<template>
<div class="control_wrapper">
<ejs-dropdownlist id='dropdownlist' :dataSource='sportsData'></ejs-dropdownlist>
</div>
</template>
Summarizing the above steps, update the src/App.vue
file with following code.
<template>
<div class="control_wrapper">
<ejs-dropdownlist id='dropdownlist' :dataSource='sportsData'></ejs-dropdownlist>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { DropDownListComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns";
//Component registeration
export default {
name: 'App',
components: {
"ejs-dropdownlist": DropDownListComponent
},
data () {
return {
sportsData: ['Badminton', 'Cricket', 'Football', 'Golf', 'Tennis']
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns/styles/material.css";
</style>
Run the application using the following command.
npm run serve
By default, the width of the popup list automatically adjusts according to the DropDownList input element’s width, and the height of the popup list has ‘300px’.
The height and width of the popup list can also be customized using the popupHeight and popupWidth properties respectively
<template>
<div id="app">
<div id='container' style="margin:50px auto 0; width:250px;">
<br>
<ejs-dropdownlist id='dropdownlist' popupHeight="200px" popupWidth="250px" :dataSource='sportsData' placeholder='Select a game'></ejs-dropdownlist>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { DropDownListComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns";
//Component registeration
export default {
name: 'App',
components: {
"ejs-dropdownlist": DropDownListComponent
},
data (){
return {
sportsData: ['Badminton', 'Cricket', 'Football', 'Golf', 'Tennis'],
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css";
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns/styles/material.css";
</style>
Output be like the below.
