Building a Pricing Component UI with BootstrapVue

Getting Started

Before we dive in, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• Node.js version 10.x or above installed
• A code editor like Visual Studio Code
• Vue’s latest version installed globally on your machine
• Vue CLI 3.0 installed on your machine
• A Vue starter project downloaded and unzipped

What is BootstrapVue?

BootstrapVue is a Vue.js UI library that lets you build responsive, mobile-first, and ARIA-accessible projects on the web with Vue. It utilizes the best parts of the Bootstrap CSS framework, making it easy to create visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces.

Building Our Pricing UI Component

Let’s create a pricing component that’s commonly found in tech product user interfaces. We’ll use the card component from BootstrapVue to create a responsive and intuitive pricing page.

Setting Up BootstrapVue

First, add the Bootstrap plugin to your Vue project by running the following command in your terminal:

vue add bootstrap-vue

Once installed, navigate to the root directory of your project and include the icons pack in the BootstrapVue library.

Creating the Header

Next, let’s create the header section of our pricing component. We’ll use a modified navbar component from the Bootstrap docs to suit our design.

Creating the Body

The body of our pricing component will feature three cards, each representing a different pricing tier. We’ll use Bootstrap classes to style our cards and add icons to drive attention to the features being offered.

Putting it All Together

Now that we’ve created our header and body sections, let’s put them together to create a fully functional pricing component UI.

Here’s an example code snippet to get you started:

<template>
  <div>
    <!-- Header section -->
    <b-navbar toggleable="lg" type="light" variant="light">
      <b-navbar-brand>Pricing</b-navbar-brand>
    </b-navbar>
    
    <!-- Body section -->
    <div class="pricing-cards">
      <b-card
        title="Basic"
        img-src="https://via.placeholder.com/150"
        img-alt="Image"
        img-top
      >
        <b-card-text>Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</b-card-text>
      </b-card>
      
      <b-card
        title="Pro"
        img-src="undefined.placeholder.com/150"
        img-alt="Image"
        img-top
      >
        <b-card-text>Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</b-card-text>
      </b-card>
      
      <b-card
        title="Enterprise"
        img-src="https://via.placeholder.com/150"
        img-alt="Image"
        img-top
      >
        <b-card-text>Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</b-card-text>
      </b-card>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

This code snippet creates a basic pricing component with a header section and three cards representing different pricing tiers. You can customize the design and content to fit your needs.

By following these steps, you can create a stunning pricing component UI using BootstrapVue that will take your Vue.js skills to the next level.
