A comprehensive UI library specifically for Vue.js, featuring ready-made components such as tables, forms, and charts.

Official documentation Updated:

What is Prime UI?

Prime UI (also known as PrimeVue) is a comprehensive component library for Vue.js that offers more than 80 ready-made UI components. From advanced data tables with sorting and filtering capabilities to interactive charts and form elements, Prime UI provides the building blocks for quickly constructing professional interfaces. The components are fully customizable and comply with modern accessibility standards.

How does Prime UI work?

Prime UI components are imported as Vue components into a project and can be used directly in templates. Each component accepts properties that configure its behavior and display. A DataTable component, for example, can be fed with a dataset and automatically provides sorting, filtering, and pagination functionality. Styling is done through fully customizable themes, at Wabber in combination with Tailwind CSS for a consistent brand identity.

Example

In Wabber's WMS, the Prime UI DataTable is used to display inventory overviews. Warehouse employees can search in real-time, filter by product category, and sort by stock level. The table component processes thousands of rows efficiently thanks to built-in virtual scrolling. Additionally, Prime UI charts are used in management dashboards to visualize KPIs such as order processing time and delivery reliability.

Why is Prime UI important?

For businesses, using a professional UI library means their software looks modern and polished without additional investment in design. The components are tested across different browsers and devices, ensuring a consistent user experience. By using a proven library, Wabber does not need to build standard UI elements from scratch, which shortens development time and increases reliability.
