Creating Engaging Vue Applications with the Quasar Framework
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to Quasar
Quasar is a widely-used UI library designed for building visually appealing Vue applications. In this guide, we will explore how to develop Vue applications using the Quasar library, highlighting features such as swipeable tabs and timeline components.
Section 1.1: Implementing Swipeable Tabs
To create swipeable tabs, we utilize the animated, swipeable, and infinite properties together. Here’s an example of how to set this up in your Vue app:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
<link
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
</head>
<body class="body--dark">
<div id="q-app">
<q-layout view="lHh Lpr lFf" container style="height: 100vh;">
<div class="q-pa-md">
<q-tab-panels v-model="panel" animated swipeable infinite>
<q-tab-panel name="mails">
<div class="text-h6">Mails</div>
Placeholder text for mails.
</q-tab-panel>
<q-tab-panel name="alarms">
<div class="text-h6">Alarms</div>
Placeholder text for alarms.
</q-tab-panel>
<q-tab-panel name="movies">
<div class="text-h6">Movies</div>
Placeholder text for movies.
</q-tab-panel>
</q-tab-panels>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {
panel: "mails"}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
In this code, we set up a basic layout with three swipeable tabs: Mails, Alarms, and Movies.

Section 1.2: Adding a Timeline Component
Quasar also includes a timeline component, which can be easily integrated into your app. Here's how to implement it:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
<link
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
</head>
<body class="body--dark">
<div id="q-app">
<q-layout view="lHh Lpr lFf" container style="height: 100vh;">
<div class="q-pa-md">
<q-timeline color="secondary">
<q-timeline-entry heading>
Timeline heading</q-timeline-entry>
<q-timeline-entry title="Event Title" subtitle="February 22, 2000">
<div>
Placeholder text for event description.</div>
</q-timeline-entry>
<q-timeline-entry
title="Event Title"
subtitle="February 21, 2000"
icon="delete"
>
<div>
Placeholder text for event description.</div>
</q-timeline-entry>
<q-timeline-entry heading>
November, 2017</q-timeline-entry>
<q-timeline-entry
title="Event Title"
subtitle="February 22, 2000"
>
<div>
Placeholder text for event description.</div>
</q-timeline-entry>
</q-timeline>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {
panel: "mails"}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
We incorporate the q-timeline component to create a timeline structure and utilize q-timeline-entry components to add individual entries.

Conclusion
In summary, Quasar provides a robust framework for creating swipeable tabs and timelines in Vue applications. By leveraging these components, you can enhance user experience and create visually appealing apps.
