UI components for Vue.js and CSS framework agnostic
npm install @oruga-ui/oruga-next
Oruga UI is like a caterpillar, minimal and yet functional. It's in your hands turning it into a butterfly
(š) => š¦
Oruga is a lightweight UI components library for Vue.js without any dependency.
It offers a set of easily customisable components and doesn't depend on any specific style or CSS framework (like Bootstrap, Bulma, TailwindCSS, etc...). Therefore, it doesn't provide a grid system or CSS utilities, but you can integrate any CSS framework you like.
Oruga provides you with a set of functional components, so you can focus only on the UI/UX aspects of your application and can be entirely flexible for future changes without having to touch a line of JavaScript.
- CSS framework agnostic: No dependency on a specific CSS framework/library but you can easily integrate the components with one of them because they are fully customizable in different ways
- Components with steroids: most of the components aren't a simple wrapper of native elements but they add new and custom features
- Lightweight: no other internal dependency and import only components that you need
If you need a component library and want to easily apply your custom styles, Oruga is the library for you! š
In addition, if you don't want to style everything yourself, we've created several themes to provide you with a variety of ready-to-use styles. š¦

š For more info about components customization, read carefully the "customization" section in the documentation.
š¹ To see Oruga in action, go to the "example" section in the documentation.
> Note: the source code of the documentation examples can be found in the examples directories for each component, it serves as the demo as well.
š Oruga is available for Vue.js version 3.x
1. Install Oruga.
``bash`
npm install @oruga-ui/oruga-next
2. Import the components:
- To get started quickly, use Oruga to register all components:
`js
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import Oruga from '@oruga-ui/oruga-next';
createApp(...).use(Oruga);
`
- To use tree shaking, either register component manually:
`js
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import { OField, OInput } from '@oruga-ui/oruga'
createApp(...)
.use(OField)
.use(OInput)
`
- or import them in your SFC.
Oruga's superpower is its configurability and its CSS framework agnostic approach.
Each component can be individually customised and configured by defining specific classes using a class-mapping approach. Therefore, Oruga comes without any styling by default. However, there are several official predefined configurations called themes, which you can include and extend to give your application a individual look and feel. And all components came with predefined classes by default.
Please read the "configuration" section in Oruga documentation.
If you want to see an example with a fully customized registration form using Tailwind, Bulma, Bootstrap, Material or any other CSS framework have a look at the official Oruga multiframework example (source code available here) or if you're more familiar with TailwindCSS 2 give our official TailwindCSS Demo a try (source code here)
Oruga doesn't provide a Nuxt.js module at the moment.
You can use Nuxt.js plugins system adding a file (e.g. oruga.js) in your plugins folder containing:
`js
import Oruga from "@oruga-ui/oruga-next";
export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
nuxtApp.vueApp.use(Oruga);
});
`
To make this plugin available in your app, add this file to the plugins array in your nuxt.config.js
`js``
plugins: [{ src: "~plugins/oruga.js" }];
To understand how the plugins work with Nuxt.js, take a look at the NuxtJS plugin documentation.

Oruga uses Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 for package versions.
While it's still in beta, versions will follow this pattern: v0.Y.Z, where:
- Y: Major (breaking changes)
- Z: Minor or patch
