Question 1

How do I install CoreUI Vue with npm and Bootstrap CSS?

Accepted Answer

Run `npm install @coreui/vue` for the components, then separately install Bootstrap CSS with `npm install bootstrap` and import it in your project. The README details using standard Bootstrap CSS instead of CoreUI CSS for flexibility.

Question 2

CoreUI Vue vs Vue Bootstrap: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

CoreUI Vue is built natively for Vue 3 with TypeScript and replaces Bootstrap's JavaScript with Vue components, offering better integration. Vue Bootstrap might be a simpler wrapper but lacks the advanced PRO features and deep Vue 3 optimizations of CoreUI.

Question 3

Does CoreUI Vue support server-side rendering (SSR)?

Accepted Answer

As Vue 3 components, they should be compatible with Vue's SSR capabilities, but the README doesn't provide specific guidance. You may need to test or configure SSR setups manually, which could add complexity.

Question 4

Can I use CoreUI Vue with my existing Bootstrap 5 project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's designed to seamlessly integrate with Bootstrap 5, allowing you to replace Bootstrap's JavaScript with Vue components while maintaining the same styles. The README notes compatibility with both CoreUI and Bootstrap CSS.

Question 5

What happens if Bootstrap updates to version 6?

Accepted Answer

CoreUI Vue is tightly coupled with Bootstrap 5, so updates to Bootstrap 6 might require CoreUI to release a new version or cause breaking changes. This dependency means you could face migration challenges in the future.

Question 6

How do I customize CoreUI Vue component styles?

Accepted Answer

You can override styles using custom CSS or Bootstrap's utility classes, as components work with both CoreUI and Bootstrap CSS. However, deep customization might require understanding Bootstrap's source styles or using SCSS variables if available.
