Question 1

How to install vue-fullscreen for Vue 3?

Accepted Answer

Use the dedicated Vue 3 package by installing via npm with the appropriate version, and follow the setup instructions in the README for Vue 3 compatibility, as separate from the Vue 2 legacy version.

Question 2

vue-fullscreen vs using the native Fullscreen API directly

Accepted Answer

vue-fullscreen wraps the native API with Vue-specific abstractions like components and directives, making it easier to integrate with Vue reactive state. However, for non-Vue projects or minimal overhead, the native API might be sufficient.

Question 3

Does vue-fullscreen work with Internet Explorer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires a Promise polyfill for IE, as noted in the README. This adds extra setup steps compared to modern browsers that support Promises natively.

Question 4

How to handle fullscreen exit on click in the component?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'exit-on-click-wrapper' prop in the component, which defaults to true, allowing clicks on the wrapper to exit fullscreen. Disable it if you need to prevent accidental exits.

Question 5

Can I use vue-fullscreen with Nuxt.js or other Vue frameworks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it should work with Nuxt.js or similar frameworks as it's a Vue plugin. Ensure proper installation and consider SSR compatibility, though fullscreen functionality is client-side only.

Question 6

How to customize the fullscreen class for styling?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'fullscreenClass' prop in the component or options in the API/directive to apply a custom CSS class when in fullscreen mode, allowing for tailored visual effects.
