Installation

Using npm:

npm install @todovue/tv-label

Using yarn:

yarn add @todovue/tv-label

Using pnpm:

pnpm add @todovue/tv-label

Quick Start (SPA)

Global registration (main.js / main.ts):

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import '@todovue/tv-label/style.css'
import { TvLabel } from '@todovue/tv-label'

createApp(App)
  .component('TvLabel', TvLabel)
  .mount('#app')

Local import inside a component:

<script setup>
import '@todovue/tv-label/style.css'
import { TvLabel } from '@todovue/tv-label'

const clickHandler = () => {
  console.log('Label clicked')
}
</script>

<template>
  <TvLabel @click-label="clickHandler" color="#4FC08D">
    Vue
  </TvLabel>
</template>

Styles usage

Vue 4 / Vite (SPA)

// main.ts
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'

import '@todovue/tv-label/style.css'
import { TvLabel } from '@todovue/tv-label'

const app = createApp(App)
app.component('TvLabel', TvLabel)
app.mount('#app')

Nuxt 3 / 4

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    '@todovue/tv-label/nuxt'
  ]
})

Nuxt 4 / SSR Usage

Create a plugin file: plugins/tv-label.client.ts (client-only is fine, or without suffix for SSR as it is safe):

import { defineNuxtPlugin } from '#app'
import TvLabel from '@todovue/tv-label'

export default defineNuxtPlugin(nuxtApp => {
  nuxtApp.vueApp.use(TvLabel)
})

Use anywhere in your Nuxt app:

<template>
  <TvLabel color="#42b883" :isEdit="true">
    Editable Label
  </TvLabel>
</template>

Optional direct import (no plugin):

<script setup>
import { TvLabel } from '@todovue/tv-label'
</script>

<template>
  <TvLabel color="#ff6b6b" :isRemove="true">
    Removable Tag
  </TvLabel>
</template>

Component Registration Options

Approach	When to use
Global via app.use(TvLabel)	Many usages across app / design system install
Global via app.use(TvLabelPlugin)	Alternative plugin syntax
Local named import { TvLabel }	Isolated / code-split contexts
Direct default import import TvLabel from '@todovue/tv-label'	Single usage or manual registration

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description
color	String	''	Label background color in hexadecimal (e.g., #4FC08D). Automatically applies opacity.
textLabel	String	''	Text content for the label (alternative to using the default slot).
textColor	String	'inherit'	Text color for the label content.
isEdit	Boolean	false	Show edit icon inside the label.
isRemove	Boolean	false	Show remove icon inside the label.
isOutline	Boolean	false	Applies a rounded pill shape and a solid border matching the label color.
iconPosition	String	'right'	Position of icons relative to text: 'left' or 'right'.
size	String	'md'	Size of the label: 'sm' (small), 'md' (medium), or 'lg' (large).

Events

Event name (kebab)	Emits (camel)	Description
click-label	clickLabel	Custom semantic click event emitted when label is clicked.
click	click	Native click event (also emitted).

Usage examples:

<template>
  <!-- Using custom event -->
  <TvLabel @click-label="handleLabelClick" color="#3498db">
    Click me
  </TvLabel>

  <!-- Using native click event -->
  <TvLabel @click="handleClick" color="#e74c3c">
    Native click
  </TvLabel>

  <!-- Both events work simultaneously -->
  <TvLabel 
    @click-label="handleCustom" 
    @click="handleNative" 
    color="#9b59b6"
  >
    Dual events
  </TvLabel>
</template>

<script setup>
const handleLabelClick = () => {
  console.log('Custom click-label event')
}

const handleClick = () => {
  console.log('Native click event')
}

const handleCustom = () => {
  console.log('Custom handler')
}

const handleNative = () => {
  console.log('Native handler')
}
</script>

Slots

Slot name	Description
default	Main content slot for label text. If not provided, textLabel prop is used.

Example:

<template>
  <!-- Using slot -->
  <TvLabel color="#4FC08D">
    <strong>Vue 3</strong> Framework
  </TvLabel>

  <!-- Using textLabel prop -->
  <TvLabel color="#4FC08D" textLabel="Vue 3 Framework" />
</template>

Customization (Styles / Theming)

The component automatically handles color opacity and border styling based on the color prop:

<template>
  <!-- Green label -->
  <TvLabel color="#4FC08D">Success</TvLabel>

  <!-- Red label with custom text color -->
  <TvLabel color="#f56565" textColor="#ffffff">Error</TvLabel>

  <!-- Blue label with white text -->
  <TvLabel color="#3182ce" textColor="#fff">Info</TvLabel>

  <!-- Custom brand color -->
  <TvLabel color="#6366f1" textColor="#e0e7ff">Brand</TvLabel>
</template>

The component applies:

• Background color with automatic opacity (lighter shade)
• 2px solid border using the full color
• Customizable text color via textColor prop

Icon Usage

Display edit or remove icons within your labels:

<template>
  <!-- Edit icon on the right (default) -->
  <TvLabel color="#4FC08D" :isEdit="true">
    Editable
  </TvLabel>

  <!-- Remove icon on the right -->
  <TvLabel color="#f56565" :isRemove="true">
    Removable
  </TvLabel>

  <!-- Edit icon on the left -->
  <TvLabel color="#3182ce" :isEdit="true" iconPosition="left">
    Edit Left
  </TvLabel>

  <!-- Remove icon on the left -->
  <TvLabel color="#9f7aea" :isRemove="true" iconPosition="left">
    Remove Left
  </TvLabel>

  <!-- With click handler -->
  <TvLabel 
    color="#ed8936" 
    :isEdit="true" 
    @click-label="handleEdit"
  >
    Click to Edit
  </TvLabel>
</template>

<script setup>
const handleEdit = () => {
  console.log('Edit action triggered')
}
</script>

Accessibility

• Semantic HTML: The component uses a <div> with click handlers. For better accessibility, consider wrapping in a <button> if it represents an interactive action.
• Color contrast: Ensure sufficient contrast between color and textColor for readability.
• Interactive labels: When using isEdit or isRemove, consider adding ARIA attributes or wrapping in semantic elements.

Best practices:

<template>
  <!-- For non-interactive labels (display only) -->
  <TvLabel color="#4FC08D">Status: Active</TvLabel>

  <!-- For interactive labels, consider adding role or wrapping -->
  <div role="button" tabindex="0" @keydown.enter="handleAction">
    <TvLabel color="#3182ce" :isEdit="true" @click-label="handleAction">
      Edit me
    </TvLabel>
  </div>
</template>

SSR Notes

• SSR Compatible: No direct DOM (window / document) access → safe for server-side rendering.
• Nuxt 3 Ready: Works seamlessly in Nuxt 3 applications.
• Styles: Component styles are scoped and work correctly in SSR environments.
• Icons: SVG icons are embedded inline, ensuring they render correctly on the server.

Development

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/TODOvue/tv-label.git
cd tv-label
yarn install
yarn dev     # run demo playground
yarn build   # build library

The demo is served from Vite using index.html and includes various usage examples.
