This discussion explores our strategies to create the dream UI framework for your projects.
#Efficient Installation Process
Getting started with Vuestic UI is straightforward. Simply run
in your terminal to begin:
npm create vuestic@latest
You will be presented with a few templates and features.
We encourage using Nuxt to leverage its auto imports and tree-shaking features for large applications. Vuestic UI is fully tree-shakable, meaning components you don’t use will not be bundled in the final build. You can read more about tree-shaking here. Looking to set up something faster? Use our Vuestic Admin template with preconfigured pages like dashboard, users, project, payments, etc.
Want to include Vuestic in your existing project? Follow this guide.

#Advanced Configuration for Customization
Vuestic UI goes beyond basic customization, offering multiple theme presets beyond the standard light and dark modes. Our intelligent design automatically selects the best text colors for backgrounds, ensuring optimal readability and contrast.
Say goodbye to poor contrast. We have a limited number of colors by design, making it easier for you to modify them. You can also extend the default color palette with any colors of your choice. Additionally, we provide a tool in case you prefer to use Tailwind colors.
Interested in changing icons? How about using two different icon fonts? Interested in using SVG icons instead of a font? What about Iconify icons? That's easy with our Icons Config, which supports multiple icon configurations and aliases.
We make it easy to globally change component props, slots, and CSS variables. In addition to global configuration, you can also save presets and reuse them across the application when needed. All configurations support TypeScript types.
Here is an example of alert customization:
Here we make all alerts closeable by default and set icons, text and color for success and error presets. We can use it later like this:
And this is the final result:

In practice, you can create a frontend for a popular app in just one day. All with keyboard navigation, correct text contrast, and component presets.
#Simplified Development Experience
To make your life easier as a developer, we made components simple: no more Material Design and strange borders that are hard to override! When working with large UI libraries, there are always style issues.
We use BEM and prefix all of our classes, so you can expect no conflicts with any library you use or with your existing code. We care about IntelliSense in your IDE and use TypeScript everywhere: in configs, component props, emits, and slots. Sometimes you need helpers like defineVaDataTableColumns to have IDE auto-suggestions. Easy to work with forms using the VaForm component.
We provide a lot of components that you can use in your forms. If you need something extra, you can create your own component using the VaFormField component! The documentation is full of examples and guides. If you struggle with any use case, you can easily ask a question in our Discord community.
#Active Contribution Opportunities
Have you found something we can improve?
Don't hesitate to join our Discord community and discuss it! Are you interested in the code? Usually, diving into UI library source code is hard. We make frequent updates, usually every 1-2 weeks, or if you have an important feature that we have thoroughly tested before release ❤️
If you're integrating Vuestic into your project, we'd love to hear from you! Your feedback helps us better understand your needs and improve our framework. Please share your experiences and insights with us.
Additionally, if you have ideas for collaboration or are interested in forming a partnership, don't hesitate to reach out at hello@epicmax.co. We are excited about exploring potential synergies and opportunities together.
