Exploring Vue 3 Development with PrimeVue: Pick Lists & More
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to PrimeVue
In this piece, we will delve into the essentials of developing Vue 3 applications using the PrimeVue UI framework, which is seamlessly compatible with Vue 3.
Section 1.1: Implementing the Pick List Component
To facilitate the reordering of items across two distinct lists, we will incorporate the pick list component. The model for the pick list consists of an array containing two sub-arrays: the first for the left list and the second for the right list. Each item display is managed through the items slot, where slotProps.item represents an entry item. After selecting an item, users will be able to transfer it between the two lists using designated buttons.

Section 1.2: Adding a Timeline
Next, we can incorporate a timeline into our Vue 3 application via the Timeline component. The implementation can be achieved by including the following code:
import { createApp } from "vue";
import App from "./App.vue";
import PrimeVue from "primevue/config";
import Timeline from 'primevue/timeline';
import Card from 'primevue/card';
import 'primevue/resources/primevue.min.css'
import 'primevue/resources/themes/saga-blue/theme.css'
import 'primeicons/primeicons.css'
import 'primeflex/primeflex.css';
const app = createApp(App);
app.use(PrimeVue);
app.component("Timeline", Timeline);
app.component("Card", Card);
app.mount("#app");
Here, we register the Timeline component and populate the content prop with the entries for each timeline item. The marker prop allows customization of the marker, while slotProps.item retrieves item data for each slot.
Chapter 2: Utilizing the Tree View Component
We can also introduce a tree view into our Vue 3 application using the Tree component from PrimeVue. To achieve this, we can write:
import { createApp } from "vue";
import App from "./App.vue";
import PrimeVue from "primevue/config";
import Tree from 'primevue/tree';
import 'primevue/resources/primevue.min.css'
import 'primevue/resources/themes/saga-blue/theme.css'
import 'primeicons/primeicons.css'
import 'primeflex/primeflex.css';
const app = createApp(App);
app.use(PrimeVue);
app.component("Tree", Tree);
app.mount("#app");
In this setup, we register the Tree component within main.js and assign the value prop to the nodes array. This array consists of objects that contain label and children properties, where label holds the display text and children contains an array of further node objects.

Conclusion
With PrimeVue, developers can effortlessly incorporate pick lists, tree views, and timelines into their Vue 3 applications, enhancing user interaction and experience.
