Hi @Just Simeon. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- In Nuxt UI 3, the block property for the UButton component is still available. The documentation for Nuxt UI 3 explicitly mentions the block prop for the Button component. According to the Button documentation (https://ui.nuxt.com/components/button#block), you can use the block prop to make the Button fill the width of its container. Here's an example of how to use it:

<template>
  <UButton block>Button</UButton>
</template>

<template>
  <UButton block>Button</UButton>
</template>

This will create a button that spans the full width of its container. Additionally, the Props documentation (https://ui.nuxt.com/components/button#props) for the Button component in Nuxt UI 3 lists block as a boolean prop with a default value of false. So, the equivalent in Nuxt UI 3 is the same as in Nuxt UI 2 - you can simply use the block prop on the UButton component to achieve a full-width button. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I understand you've found the block prop in Nuxt UI 3, but you're having issues with centering the text and icon within the button using the text-center class. Let me explain how you can achieve this in Nuxt UI 3. In Nuxt UI 3, the Button component has a more sophisticated styling system that allows for greater customization. The text-center class might not work directly because the component has its own internal layout. To center the content of a UButton in Nuxt UI 3, you can use the ui prop to customize the button's appearance. Here's how you can do it:

<template>
  <UButton
    block
    :ui="{ 
      base: 'justify-center',
      padding: { 
        sm: 'px-4 py-2'
      }
    }"
  >
    Centered Button Content
  </UButton>
</template>

<template>
  <UButton
    block
    :ui="{ 
      base: 'justify-center',
      padding: { 
        sm: 'px-4 py-2'
      }
    }"
  >
    Centered Button Content
  </UButton>
</template>

In this example: 1. We're using the block prop to make the button full-width. 2. We're using the ui prop to customize the button's appearance. 3. We're adding justify-center to the base class to center the content horizontally. 4. We're also adjusting the padding to ensure proper spacing. If you need to add additional classes, you can use the class attribute along with the ui prop:

<template>
  <UButton
    block
    class="your-custom-class"
    :ui="{ 
      base: 'justify-center',
      padding: { 
        sm: 'px-4 py-2'
      }
    }"
  >
    Centered Button Content
  </UButton>
</template>

<template>
  <UButton
    block
    class="your-custom-class"
    :ui="{ 
      base: 'justify-center',
      padding: { 
        sm: 'px-4 py-2'
      }
    }"
  >
    Centered Button Content
  </UButton>
</template>

This approach allows you to center the content while still leveraging Nuxt UI 3's built-in styling system. The ui prop will smartly merge with the default styles, as mentioned in the Theming documentation (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/theming#class-attribute). Remember, if you're using an icon, make sure to position it correctly within the button content. The Button component in Nuxt UI 3 provides slots for icons, which might be a better approach than manually adding icons to the content. If you're still having issues with specific layouts or icon placements, please provide more details about your exact use case, and I'll be happy to help further. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai is there a way to make that the default when using "block"?

kapa.ai•3mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, there is a way to make the centered content the default behavior when using the block prop on UButton components in Nuxt UI 3. You can achieve this by customizing the default configuration for the Button component in your app.config.ts file. Here's how you can do it: 1. Open or create your app.config.ts file in the root of your Nuxt project. 2. Add the following configuration:

export default defineAppConfig({
  ui: {
    button: {
      default: {
        block: {
          base: 'justify-center'
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

export default defineAppConfig({
  ui: {
    button: {
      default: {
        block: {
          base: 'justify-center'
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

This configuration sets the default behavior for all block buttons to have centered content. The justify-center class will be applied to all buttons that use the block prop. As mentioned in the Default values documentation (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/theming#default-values), you can override default values for component props in your app.config.ts. After making this change, all your block buttons will have centered content by default, without needing to specify the ui prop each time. You can still override this on a per-button basis if needed. If you want to add additional default styling or adjust padding, you can extend the configuration like this:

export default defineAppConfig({
  ui: {
    button: {
      default: {
        block: {
          base: 'justify-center',
          padding: {
            sm: 'px-4 py-2'
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

export default defineAppConfig({
  ui: {
    button: {
      default: {
        block: {
          base: 'justify-center',
          padding: {
            sm: 'px-4 py-2'
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

This approach allows you to set a consistent style for all block buttons across your application while still maintaining the flexibility to customize individual buttons when necessary. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai does this also apply to ui3?

kapa.ai•3mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, the information I provided in my previous answer specifically applies to Nuxt UI 3. The configuration method using app.config.ts to set default values for components is a feature of Nuxt UI 3. As mentioned in the Nuxt UI Pro Theming documentation (https://ui.nuxt.com/pro/getting-started/theming), which is built on top of Nuxt UI 3: "Like in Nuxt UI, every component is prefixed with a U to avoid conflicts with other components. For example, the Header component is named UHeader." "You can customize components the same way as @nuxt/ui, through the App Config (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/theming#appconfigts) or ui prop (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/theming#ui-prop), both of which are smartly merged thanks to tailwind-merge (https://github.com/dcastil/tailwind-merge)." This confirms that the method of using app.config.ts to set default component configurations is indeed applicable to Nuxt UI 3. The ability to customize default values for components, including the Button component, through the app.config.ts file is a feature of Nuxt UI 3 and remains consistent in the current version. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. You are correct to point out that you are specifically asking about https://ui3.nuxt.dev/, which is different from the Nuxt UI 3 I was referring to earlier. Let me clarify the situation based on the information available. The https://ui3.nuxt.dev/ appears to be a different project or version than the current Nuxt UI (https://ui.nuxt.com/) that I was discussing in my previous answers. Unfortunately, the knowledge sources provided do not contain specific information about https://ui3.nuxt.dev/. The documentation and configuration methods I mentioned earlier are for the current version of Nuxt UI, which is available at https://ui.nuxt.com/. This version is actively maintained and documented. For https://ui3.nuxt.dev/, I don't have accurate information in the given knowledge sources to provide details about its features, configuration, or how it handles button styling and centering. To get accurate information about https://ui3.nuxt.dev/, you would need to refer to its specific documentation or repository. If you're working on a project using this version, I recommend checking its official documentation or reaching out to the maintainers for the most up-to-date and accurate information. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. If you have any questions about the current version of Nuxt UI (https://ui.nuxt.com/), I'd be happy to help with those. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
