Mastering UI Development with Chakra UI Vue Components

Chapter 1: Introduction to Chakra UI Vue
Chakra UI Vue is a sophisticated UI framework designed specifically for Vue.js, allowing developers to seamlessly integrate visually appealing UI components into their applications. In this article, we will explore how to initiate UI development with Chakra UI Vue, focusing on the c-control-box component.
Section 1.1: Implementing the Control Box
The c-control-box component is versatile and can adjust its styles based on the state of a sibling checkbox or radio input. Below is a basic template demonstrating how to incorporate this component:
<template>
<c-box>
<label>
<c-visually-hidden as="input" type="checkbox" default-checked />
<c-control-box
border-width="1px"
size="24px"
rounded="sm" :_checked="{ bg: 'green.500', color: 'white', borderColor: 'green.500' }" :_focus="{ borderColor: 'green.600', boxShadow: 'outline' }"
>
<c-icon name="check" size="16px" /></c-control-box>
<c-box as="span" vertical-align="top" ml="3">
Checkbox Label</c-box>
</label>
</c-box>
</template>
<script>
import { CBox, CControlBox, CIcon, CVisuallyHidden } from "@chakra-ui/vue";
export default {
components: {
CBox,
CControlBox,
CIcon,
CVisuallyHidden,
},
};
</script>
In this example, the c-control-box component utilizes the _checked prop to dynamically adjust the background and color of the visually hidden component whenever it is toggled. Additionally, the _focus prop modifies the border color and box shadow when the checkbox is focused.
Subsection 1.1.1: Utilizing Radio Buttons
We can similarly apply the control box functionality to a radio button. Here’s how it can be implemented:
<template>
<c-box>
<label>
<c-visually-hidden type="radio" as="input" />
<c-control-box
size="24px"
bg="white"
border="2px"
rounded="full"
type="radio"
borderColor="inherit" :_focus="{ boxShadow: 'outline' }" :_hover="{ borderColor: 'gray.300' }" :_disabled="{ opacity: '40%' }" :_checked="{ bg: 'green.500', borderColor: 'green.500' }"
>
<c-box w="50%" h="50%" bg="white" rounded="full" /></c-control-box>
<c-box as="span" ml="2" vertical-align="center" user-select="none">
This is a Radio</c-box>
</label>
</c-box>
</template>
<script>
import { CBox, CControlBox, CVisuallyHidden } from "@chakra-ui/vue";
export default {
components: {
CBox,
CControlBox,
CVisuallyHidden,
},
};
</script>
Here, the _disabled prop is employed to change the styling of the visually hidden component when it is inactive, while the _hover prop alters its appearance during mouse-over events.
Conclusion: Enhancing Your Vue App
By utilizing the c-control-box component, developers can effectively incorporate interactive elements that modify their styles based on the state of sibling input components such as checkboxes or radio buttons into their Vue applications.
