PrimeVue components

PrimeVue is a comprehensive UI component library for Vue.js 3, providing over 90 fully customizable components for building modern web applications. The library features a rich set of form controls, data visualization components, overlays, menus, and layout elements designed with accessibility, theming flexibility, and developer experience in mind. PrimeVue v4 introduces a revolutionary design token system that enables seamless theming through CSS variables and supports multiple built-in presets including Aura, Lara, Nora, and Material.

The library is organized as a monorepo containing several packages: the main primevue component package, @primevue/core for base functionality, @primevue/themes for theming presets, @primevue/icons for icon components, @primevue/forms for form validation, and @primevue/nuxt-module for Nuxt.js integration. PrimeVue supports both styled and unstyled modes, allowing developers to either use the built-in design system or apply completely custom styling with frameworks like Tailwind CSS.
