Template Details
This is a Nuxt admin starter template whose components are built with UI Thing, which the author describes as a personal port of the shadcn/ui component library. The template is positioned as a starting point that can be freely trimmed, and the README explicitly recommends deleting the parts you do not need.
What is included: all UI Thing components (the author notes this may affect performance and suggests removing them as needed), the Notivue notification library, Pinia state management, and the V-Wave ripple effect plugin. The README states that Notivue, Pinia, and V-Wave can all be removed, and that Notivue was simply another toast library the author wanted to try.
Usage is to pull the repository from GitHub via giget, install dependencies, and run the development server. The repository also provides an online demo on Netlify. The license is MIT, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, provided the copyright and license notice are retained; third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification, and external services such as domains, hosting, and databases may incur additional charges.

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

Source file / repository# Nuxt 3 UI Thing Starter An opinionated Nuxt 3 starter template with components built with [UI Thing](https://ui-thing.behonbaker.com/getting-started/introduction). This is my personal port of the shadcn/ui library. Feel free to make changes and delete what you don't need. ## Demo The starter is deployed on Netlify [here](https://ui-thing-starter.behonbaker.com/) ## Getting Started Clone the repo ```bash npx --yes giget@latest gh:BayBreezy/nuxt-ui-thing-starter my-nuxt-app --install ``` Install the dependencies ```bash cd my-nuxt-app && npm install ``` Start the dev server ```bash npm run dev ``` --- <br/>  ## Major update So on Jan 11, 2024, I remembered that I created this repo. I was going through github and saw where someone gave it a star.... I was like.. Hold up.. when did I create this? Then I realized it was created while I was experimenting with the Radix-Vue package (my very first attempt to replicate shadcn/ui). I was like.. I should update this repo with the latest version of UI Thing. So I did. I also updated the README.md file to reflect the changes. ## What's included? - All the components from UI Thing - So this may impact performance. I'm not sure. I would recommend that you delete the components that you do not need. - [Notivue](https://notivuedocs.netlify.app/installation/nuxt.html) was also added to the project. - This is not needed, I just wanted another toast library to play with. Feel free to remove it if VueSonner or the built in toast works for you. - Pinia - This can be removed if you don't need it as well. - [V-Wave](https://github.com/justintaddei/v-wave) - It just adds a ripple effect any component that you want. It's pretty cool. You can remove it if you don't need it.
