Question 1

How do I install Floating Vue in a Vue 3 project?

Accepted Answer

Install Floating Vue via npm with 'npm install floating-vue'. For Vue 3, use version 5 or above, and follow the documentation to import components and set up plugins in your main Vue file.

Question 2

Is Floating Vue or Tippy.js better for Vue apps?

Accepted Answer

Floating Vue is tailored for Vue with a native API, offering better integration, while Tippy.js is framework-agnostic with more built-in features. Choose Floating Vue for Vue-centric simplicity or Tippy.js for cross-framework consistency.

Question 3

How to customize the styling of Floating Vue tooltips?

Accepted Answer

Style Floating Vue elements with custom CSS by targeting generated classes or using Vue's scoped styles. The library provides minimal defaults, so you'll need to define colors, borders, and animations manually.

Question 4

Does Floating Vue support server-side rendering?

Accepted Answer

Floating Vue is client-side interactive and may require hydration on the client for SSR. You might need to use conditional rendering or SSR plugins to avoid issues with browser-dependent APIs.

Question 5

What's the best way to migrate from v-tooltip to Floating Vue?

Accepted Answer

Update the package to 'floating-vue', adjust imports, and check the changelog for breaking changes. Test thoroughly as the underlying library changed from Popper.js to Floating UI, which might affect positioning behavior.

Question 6

How accessible are Floating Vue dropdowns?

Accepted Answer

Floating Vue follows accessibility best practices but requires developers to add ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation manually. Review the documentation for guidance on ensuring full WCAG compliance.
