Let’s Build a Calendar UI from Scratch

In this article, we will explore how to build a calendar UI from scratch using Vue 3, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. We will also utilize nested v-for and deep watch to create a dynamic and interactive calendar component.

Setting up the Project

First, we need to set up a new Vue 3 project with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. We can use the Vue CLI to create a new project with the following commands:


npm install -g @vue/cli
vue create calendar-app
cd calendar-app
vue add typescript
vue add tailwind


Creating the Calendar Component

Now that our project is set up, let’s create a new Calendar component using Vue 3. We will utilize nested v-for to iterate over the weeks and days of the calendar, and deep watch to monitor any changes to the selected date.

Styling the Calendar

We can use Tailwind CSS to style the Calendar component and make it visually appealing. We can add custom styles to the component or utilize Tailwind utility classes to achieve the desired look and feel.

Conclusion

By using Vue 3, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, we were able to build a dynamic and interactive calendar UI from scratch. We utilized nested v-for and deep watch to create a responsive and intuitive calendar component. With these tools and techniques, you can create a wide range of custom UI elements and components for your web applications.
