CommandPalette

Add a customizable command palette to your app.

Usage

Use a v-model to display a searchable and selectable list of commands.

Wade Cooper
Arlene Mccoy
Devon Webb
Tom Cook
Tanya Fox
Hellen Schmidt
<script setup>const people = [  { id: 1, label: 'Wade Cooper' },  { id: 2, label: 'Arlene Mccoy' },  { id: 3, label: 'Devon Webb' },  { id: 4, label: 'Tom Cook' },  { id: 5, label: 'Tanya Fox' },  { id: 6, label: 'Hellen Schmidt' },  { id: 7, label: 'Caroline Schultz' },  { id: 8, label: 'Mason Heaney' },  { id: 9, label: 'Claudie Smitham' },  { id: 10, label: 'Emil Schaefer' }]const selected = ref([people[3]])</script><template>  <UCommandPalette    v-model="selected"    multiple    nullable    :groups="[{ key: 'people', commands: people }]"    :fuse="{ resultLimit: 6, fuseOptions: { threshold: 0.1 } }"  /></template>

You can put a CommandPalette anywhere you want but it's most commonly used inside of a modal.

<script setup>const isOpen = ref(false)const people = [  { id: 1, label: 'Wade Cooper' },  { id: 2, label: 'Arlene Mccoy' },  { id: 3, label: 'Devon Webb' },  { id: 4, label: 'Tom Cook' },  { id: 5, label: 'Tanya Fox' },  { id: 6, label: 'Hellen Schmidt' },  { id: 7, label: 'Caroline Schultz' },  { id: 8, label: 'Mason Heaney' },  { id: 9, label: 'Claudie Smitham' },  { id: 10, label: 'Emil Schaefer' }]const selected = ref([])</script><template>  <div>    <UButton label="Open" @click="isOpen = true" />    <UModal v-model="isOpen">      <UCommandPalette        v-model="selected"        multiple        nullable        :groups="[{ key: 'people', commands: people }]"      />    </UModal>  </div></template>

You can pass multiple groups of commands to the component. Each group will be separated by a divider and will display a label.

Without a v-model, you can also listen on @update:model-value to navigate to a link or do something else when a command is clicked.

Icon

Use any icon from Iconify by setting the icon prop by using this pattern: i-{collection_name}-{icon_name}.

Use the selected-icon prop to set a different icon or change it globally in ui.commandPalette.default.selectedIcon. Defaults to i-heroicons-check-20-solid.

We couldn't find any items.

<UCommandPalette icon="i-heroicons-command-line" />

Loading

Use the loading prop to show a loading icon.

Use the loading-icon prop to set a different icon or change it globally in ui.commandPalette.default.loadingIcon. Defaults to i-heroicons-arrow-path-20-solid.

We couldn't find any items.

<UCommandPalette loading />

Placeholder

Use the placeholder prop to change the input placeholder

We couldn't find any items.

<UCommandPalette placeholder="Type a command..." />

Close

Use the close-button prop to display a close button on the right side of the input.

You can pass all the props of the Button component to customize it through the close-button prop or globally through ui.commandPalette.default.closeButton.

We couldn't find any items.

<UCommandPalette  :close-button="{ icon: 'i-heroicons-x-mark-20-solid', color: 'gray', variant: 'link', padded: false }"/>

Empty

An empty state will be displayed when there are no results.

Use the empty-state prop to customize the icon and label or change them globally in ui.commandPalette.default.emptyState.

You can also set it to null to hide the empty state.

We couldn't find any items.

<UCommandPalette  :empty-state="{ icon: 'i-heroicons-magnifying-glass-20-solid', label: 'We couldn't find any items.', queryLabel: 'We couldn't find any items with that term. Please try again.' }"  placeholder="Type something to see the empty label change"/>

The CommandPalette component takes care of the full-text search for you with Fuse.js. You can pass all the options of Fuse.js through the fuse prop.

When searching for a command, the component will look for a label property on the command by default. You can customize this behavior by overriding the command-attribute prop. This will also affect the display of the command.

You can also highlight the matches in the command by setting the fuse.fuseOptions.includeMatches to true. The CommandPalette component automatically takes care of the highlighting for you.

<template>  <UCommandPalette    command-attribute="title"    :fuse="{      fuseOptions: {        ignoreLocation: true,        includeMatches: true,        threshold: 0,        keys: ['title', 'description', 'children.children.value', 'children.children.children.value']      },      resultLimit: 10    }"  /></template>
Try it yourself in this documentation's search by pressing .

You can also pass an async function to the search property of a group to perform an async search. The function will receive the query as its first argument and should return an array of commands.

We couldn't find any items.

<script setup>const groups = computed(() => {  return [{    key: 'users',    label: q => q && `Users matching “${q}”...`,    search: async (q) => {      if (!q) {        return []      }      const users = await $fetch(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users`, { params: { q } })      return users.map(user => ({ id: user.id, label: user.name, suffix: user.email }))    }  }].filter(Boolean)})</script><template>  <UCommandPalette :groups="groups" /></template>
The loading state will automatically be enabled when a search function is loading. You can disable this behavior by setting the loading-icon prop to null or globally in ui.commandPalette.default.loadingIcon.

Slots

<group>-icon

Use the #<group>-icon slot to override the left command content which display by default the icon, avatar and chip.

<group>-command

Use the #<group>-command slot to override the command content which display by default the prefix, suffix and label (customizable through the command-attribute prop).

<group>-active

Use the #<group>-active slot to override the right command content (when hovered) which display by default the active field of the group if provided.

<group>-inactive

Use the #<group>-inactive slot to override the right command content (when not hovered) which display by default the inactive field of the group if provided or the shortcuts of the command.

The 4 slots above will have access to the group, command, active and selected properties in the slot scope.

empty-state

Use the #empty-state slot to customize the empty state.
