vue3-marquee

A simple marquee component with ZERO dependencies for Vue 3. This component was originally developed for internal use but I figured this could be useful to someone else as well. This component is modeled after a React marquee component I found called React Fast Marquee. To keep a smooth animation running, clones of the content can be created for seamless transitions with no sudden jarring appearences or empty spaces in between content.

Upgrade to v3.x

If you are using version 1.x or 2.x of vue3-marquee you should upgrade to version 3.x. You can do this by running the Installation command below. This adds TS support for the component. There are some new imports so take a look at the new documentation.

Installation

If you are using npm:

npm install vue3-marquee@latest --save

If you are using yarn:

yarn add vue3-marquee@latest

Usage

The most common use case is to register the component globally.

// main.js
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import Vue3Marquee from 'vue3-marquee'
import 'vue3-marquee/dist/style.css'

createApp(App).use(Vue3Marquee).mount('#app')

Alternatively you can import the marquee component locally.

import { Vue3Marquee } from 'vue3-marquee'
import 'vue3-marquee/dist/style.css'

export default {
  components: {
    Vue3Marquee,
  },
}

You can then use the component in your template. A common use case is an image marquee for logos but you can also use it for scrolling text.

<template>
  <Vue3Marquee>
    <img height="200" width="300" src="...img" />
    <img height="200" width="300" src="...img" />
    <img height="200" width="300" src="...img" />
  </Vue3Marquee>
</template>

<script>
import { Vue3Marquee } from 'vue3-marquee'
import 'vue3-marquee/dist/style.css'

export default {
  components: {
    Vue3Marquee,
  },
}
</script>
