# Nuxt

> Set up Tabler in Nuxt and build a first working page.

Install Tabler in Nuxt - register the CSS globally, load the JS in a client-only plugin, and render a minimal page with a Tabler card.

---

Nuxt renders on the server by default, so Tabler integrates in two parts: CSS registered globally in `nuxt.config.ts`, and `tabler.min.js` loaded through a client-only plugin so it never runs during server-side rendering.

You will install `@tabler/core`, register the styles, add the client plugin, and render a first page with a Tabler card.

## Setup

### Install Tabler package

Install `@tabler/core` with your preferred package manager:

```shell
npm install @tabler/core
yarn add @tabler/core
pnpm install @tabler/core
bun install @tabler/core
```

You can also use CDN files when you need a quick setup:

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tabler/core@1.5.0/dist/css/tabler.min.css" />
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tabler/core@1.5.0/dist/js/tabler.min.js"></script>
```

### Import styles

Register Tabler CSS in `nuxt.config.ts`:

```ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  css: ['@tabler/core/dist/css/tabler.min.css'],
})
```

For full theme customization, import SCSS sources in your app stylesheet:

```scss
@use '@tabler/core/scss/tabler';
```

### Import and initialize JavaScript

Tabler JavaScript is required for interactive components such as dropdowns, modals, and tooltips.

Nuxt-specific note: `tabler.min.js` accesses `document`, so load it only on the client. If you import it during SSR, Nuxt throws `document is not defined`.

Create a client-only plugin in `plugins/tabler.client.ts`:

```ts
export default defineNuxtPlugin(async () => {
  await import('@tabler/core/dist/js/tabler.min.js')
})
```

### Minimal working example

Create a minimal `pages/index.vue` page:

```vue
<template>
  <div class="page">
    <div class="page-wrapper">
      <div class="container-xl py-4">
        <div class="card">
          <div class="card-body">
            <h3 class="card-title">Nuxt + Tabler</h3>
            <p class="text-secondary mb-0">Your Tabler setup is working.</p>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>
```

Run the app:

```shell
npm run dev
```

Open the local Nuxt URL and confirm the card is styled with Tabler.
