Frequently asked questions
Why does Vuetify not match Material Design 2
The MD spec was updated in May of 2018, during the middle of beta testing for v1.1. Because of this, there are plenty of components that will not match the new spec. We will be updating the styles and functionality to match in a future release.
My code doesn't work - what should I do
First, ensure that you're using the latest version of Vue.js and Vuetify. Try to reproduce it in codepen using the following template. If you are unable to reproduce the issue outside of your environment, this usually means the issue resides locally. If you are still unable to resolve your issue, please provide your codepen and issue in #need-help in the community.
I'm receiving an error similar to the following:
Error in ./node_modules/vuetify/src/dir/file.js Module parse "failed": Unexpected token (<lineno>:<characterno>)
If you're using an IDE, such as IntelliJ IDEA or WebStorm, it will often add automatic imports pointing to the vuetify/src/ directory for components you use. Change the import statement path from vuetify/src/ to vuetify/es5/.
My application does not look correct
Vuetify requires the use of the v-app component. It should wrap your entire application and is the center point for much of the framework functionality including themes.
Menu/Dialog/Navigation drawer are not opening properly.
Ensure that your components are wrapped with a v-app element. If you are using an element to activate the component that is not placed into the activator slot, ensure that you stop propagation of the click event. These components utilize the v-outside-click directive and will immediately close.
The scrollbar is showing even though my content is not overflowing vertically.
Vuetify by default turns on the html scrollbar. This is a design choice and has been debated numerous times. There are pros and cons to having and not having it and as of now, the vote is in favor of leaving it as is. If you wish to disable this functionality, simply add html { overflow-y: auto } to your style file.
How to center vertically
Apply the fill-height prop to v-container. This helper class normally only adds height: 100%, but for the container, it also looks for a child v-layout and applies the needed classes to vertically center the content.
My /_ link is active when I'm on _/home page
Add the exact to the link that points to absolute /. For more information on this, you can visit the official Vue router documentation.
My page on mobile is not responsive
Ensure that you have the proper meta tags inside of the <head> section of your index.html.
How do I use Font Awesome Icons or Material Design Icons (mdi)
You must add the fonts to your index.html or otherwise import them into your project.
- MDI: Material Design Icons
- FA: Font Awesome
My dialog closes immediately after clicking the button
When not using the activator slot for v-menu and v-dialog for example, you must manually stop the propagation of the click event. To do this, simply add the .stop modifier to the click event.
Relative images are not working in v-card , v-img and other custom vuetify components
Vue loader converts relative paths into require functions automatically for you. Unfortunately, this is not the case when it comes to custom components. You can circumvent this issue by using require. If you're using Vuetify as a Vue-CLI 3 plugin, you can edit your project's vue.config.js file by modifying the options for vue-loader.
