PrimeVue is available at npm, if you have an existing application run the following commands to download PrimeVue and PrimeIcons to your project.
npm install primevue --save
npm install primeicons --save
This is the recommended way if your application uses vue-cli or has a webpack based build with vue-loader configured. Import the components as .vue files for seamless integration within your project where path of each component is available at the "import" section of a component documentation.
//import {ComponentName} from 'primevue/{componentname}';
import {Dialog} from 'primevue/dialog';
In the next step, register the component with the tag name you'd like to use.
Vue.component('Dialog', Dialog);
Then you'll be able to utilize the component in your application.
<Dialog></Dialog>
Other alternative is utilizing the components directly within the browser with UMD packages.

</div>
<script>
new Vue({
components: {
'p-calendar': calendar
}
}).$mount('#app')

Majority of PrimeVue components (95%) are native and there are some exceptions having 3rd party dependencies such as Quill for Editor.
In addition, components require PrimeIcons library for icons.
dependencies: {
"vue": "^2.6.10",
"primeicons": "^1.0.0"
}
Here is the list of components with 3rd party dependencies.
Component | Dependency |
---|---|
Charts | Charts.js 2.1.x+ |
Editor | Quill.js 1.3.3+ |
FullCalendar | FullCalendar 4.0.2+ |
PrimeFlex | DataView |
The css dependencies are as follows, note that you may change the theme with another one of your choice. If you are using a bundler such as webpack with a css loader you may import them to your main application component.
primevue/resources/themes/nova-light/theme.css //theme
primevue/resources/primevue.min.css //shared css
primeicons/primeicons.css //icons
An example application based on vue-cli is available at GitHub.
