Help with Nuxt UI component customization
Hey everyone! π
I am new to Nuxt/Nuxt UI ecosystem and I am trying to understand the basics. I am struggling to understand how the Nuxt UI props/slots system works. For example, I am trying to modify a
UNavigationMenu component. I can't understand from the docs what are the props to modify:
- Active menu item background color
- Active menu item hover background color
- Inactive menu item background color
- Inactive menu item hover background color
I don't see props for these and some solutions using the ui: prop seem to me too complicated for such a simple task.
Is something about the philosophy of the library that I don't get or it's indeed that complicated?
Thanks!2 Replies
Hi @lezaf_. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources provided do not contain specific information about customizing the
UNavigationMenu component in Nuxt UI, especially regarding the props or slots for changing active/inactive menu item background colors or hover states.
However, I can share some general insights from the Nuxt UI and DevTools UI Kit documentation that may help you understand the philosophy:
- Nuxt UI and related kits often use utility-first CSS (like UnoCSS or Tailwind) and provide a theming system where you can override styles globally or locally using attributes like n or by customizing theme shortcuts in your Nuxt config. For example, you can theme components by passing the n attribute or by overriding UnoCSS shortcuts in your nuxt.config.js for global changes. This approach is meant to provide flexibility and composability, but it can feel less direct than traditional prop-based APIs for styling components.
- For some components, you can apply theme classes or use the n attribute to change their appearance, and you can override default theme values globally via UnoCSS configuration. See the DevTools UI Kit theming section for an example of this approach.
Unfortunately, there is no explicit documentation in the provided sources about the UNavigationMenu component's props or slot customization for active/inactive states. If you need more detailed guidance, I recommend checking the official Nuxt UI documentation or inspecting the component source code for available props and slots.
If you have further questions or can provide more details, I'll do my best to help with the information available!
