Label templates for <UInput> elements

Hey all, I'm trying to add a <UTooltip> to one of my <UInput> elements. However, I'm not sure how to approach this. Is there a way to, for example, override the label using a template to add my own elements, or is this not possible? Is there another approach? Thanks in advance!

Hi @Viridian. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, it is possible to customize the label of a <UInput> element in Nuxt UI. The approach you're looking for involves using the <UFormGroup> component, which provides a #label slot that allows you to override the label content. Here's how you can achieve this: 1. Wrap your <UInput> with a <UFormGroup> component. 2. Use the #label slot of <UFormGroup> to customize the label content. 3. Inside the #label slot, you can add your <UTooltip> along with any other custom elements. Here's an example of how you can implement this:

<template>
  <UFormGroup label="Email">
    <template #label>
      <UTooltip text="Enter your email address">
        <span>Email</span>
      </UTooltip>
    </template>
    <UInput placeholder="[email protected]" />
  </UFormGroup>
</template>

<template>
  <UFormGroup label="Email">
    <template #label>
      <UTooltip text="Enter your email address">
        <span>Email</span>
      </UTooltip>
    </template>
    <UInput placeholder="[email protected]" />
  </UFormGroup>
</template>

This approach allows you to add a tooltip to your input label while maintaining the structure and styling provided by Nuxt UI. For more information on customizing form group labels and using slots, you can refer to the following documentation: - Form Group Slots (https://ui.nuxt.com/components/form-group#slots) - Tooltip Usage (https://ui.nuxt.com/components/tooltip#usage) Remember that the <UFormGroup> component is designed to work with various form elements, including <UInput>, so this approach provides a consistent way to customize labels across different form components. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Is it possible to prevent a <UTooltip> from disappearing when the user tries hovering over the text inside the tooltip? I want a user to be able to click a link inside the tooltip using a #text template override

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, it is possible to prevent a <UTooltip> from disappearing when the user tries to hover over its content in Nuxt UI. This can be achieved by using the popper prop of the <UTooltip> component. Here's how you can implement this: 1. Use the popper prop to customize the tooltip behavior. 2. Set the interactive option to true to allow interaction with the tooltip content. 3. Override the tooltip content using the #text slot to add your custom elements, including clickable links. Here's an example of how you can implement this:

<template>
  <UTooltip :popper="{ interactive: true }">
    <UButton color="gray" label="Hover me" />
    
    <template #text>
      <span>This is a tooltip with a <a href="<https://nuxt.com">clickable> link</a></span>
    </template>
  </UTooltip>
</template>

<template>
  <UTooltip :popper="{ interactive: true }">
    <UButton color="gray" label="Hover me" />
    
    <template #text>
      <span>This is a tooltip with a <a href="<https://nuxt.com">clickable> link</a></span>
    </template>
  </UTooltip>
</template>

In this example: - The :popper="{ interactive: true }" prop allows the tooltip to remain open when the user hovers over its content. - The #text slot is used to override the default tooltip content, allowing you to add custom elements like links. This approach is based on the information from the Tooltip component documentation (https://ui.nuxt.com/components/tooltip#usage), which shows how to customize the tooltip's behavior and content. Remember that making the tooltip interactive might affect the user experience, so use this feature judiciously and ensure that the tooltip content is easily accessible and doesn't interfere with other page elements. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

{ interactive: true } doesn't seem to be an actual field on popper, so I assume it's hallucinating @kapa.ai How can I apply a custom color to a button? 'Primary' works but 'secondary' doesn't.

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To apply a custom color to a button in Nuxt UI, you need to understand how the color system works and how to properly configure it. Let's break this down: 1. Default Colors: By default, Nuxt UI components, including buttons, use a primary color. This is why 'primary' works out of the box. The gray color is also available by default. 2. Custom Colors: To use custom colors like 'secondary', you need to configure them properly. Here's how you can do it: a. Define the color in your Tailwind CSS configuration: In your tailwind.config.ts file, add the custom color with all its shades:

      export default <Partial<Config>>{
        theme: {
          extend: {
            colors: {
              secondary: {
                50: '#...',
                100: '#...',
                // ... define all shades from 50 to 950
                900: '#...',
                950: '#...'
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }

      export default <Partial<Config>>{
        theme: {
          extend: {
            colors: {
              secondary: {
                50: '#...',
                100: '#...',
                // ... define all shades from 50 to 950
                900: '#...',
                950: '#...'
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }

Tailwind CSS Configuration (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/theming#colors) b. Safelist the color: In your nuxt.config.ts, add the color to the safelistColors option:

      export default defineNuxtConfig({
        ui: {
          safelistColors: ['primary', 'secondary']
        }
      })

      export default defineNuxtConfig({
        ui: {
          safelistColors: ['primary', 'secondary']
        }
      })

Smart Safelisting (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/theming#smart-safelisting) 3. Using the Custom Color: Once configured, you can use the custom color in your button:

   <template>
     <UButton color="secondary">Secondary Button</UButton>
   </template>

   <template>
     <UButton color="secondary">Secondary Button</UButton>
   </template>

4. Applying Custom Styles: If you need more control, you can use the ui prop to customize the button's appearance:

   <template>
     <UButton
       :ui="{
         color: {
           secondary: {
             solid: 'bg-secondary-500 hover:bg-secondary-600 ...'
           }
         }
       }"
     >
       Custom Secondary Button
     </UButton>
   </template>

   <template>
     <UButton
       :ui="{
         color: {
           secondary: {
             solid: 'bg-secondary-500 hover:bg-secondary-600 ...'
           }
         }
       }"
     >
       Custom Secondary Button
     </UButton>
   </template>

UI Prop Usage (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/theming#ui-prop) Remember, the key is to properly define and safelist your custom colors. If 'secondary' isn't working, it's likely because it hasn't been defined in your Tailwind configuration or safelisted in your Nuxt config. For more detailed information on theming and color customization in Nuxt UI, refer to the Theming documentation (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/theming). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Can I disable the number arrows in an <UInput> when I specify type="number"?

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, you can disable the number arrows (also known as spinners) in a <UInput> component when you specify type="number". This can be achieved using CSS to hide the default browser spinners. Here's how you can do it: 1. First, set the type prop to "number" on your <UInput> component. 2. Then, use the input-class prop to apply custom CSS classes that hide the spinners. Here's an example of how you can implement this:

<template>
  <UInput
    type="number"
    input-class="[appearance:textfield] [&::-webkit-outer-spin-button]:appearance-none [&::-webkit-inner-spin-button]:appearance-none"
  />
</template>

<template>
  <UInput
    type="number"
    input-class="[appearance:textfield] [&::-webkit-outer-spin-button]:appearance-none [&::-webkit-inner-spin-button]:appearance-none"
  />
</template>

In this example: - type="number" sets the input type to number. - The input-class prop is used to apply custom CSS classes directly to the input element. - [appearance:textfield] sets the appearance to a regular text field. - [&::-webkit-outer-spin-button]:appearance-none and [&::-webkit-inner-spin-button]:appearance-none hide the spinner buttons in WebKit browsers (Chrome, Safari, etc.). This approach uses Tailwind CSS's arbitrary value syntax to apply these styles directly. It's based on the information from the UInput documentation (https://ui.nuxt.com/components/input#type), which shows how to use different input types and apply custom classes. Remember that while this method hides the spinners visually, the input will still accept number values and behave as a number input. Users can still type numbers and use keyboard arrows to increment/decrement the value. If you need further customization or a different approach, you might want to consider using a custom input component or exploring additional CSS techniques to style the number input according to your specific requirements. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
