## Setting Up Your Vue Project

Before you install the Kendo UI for Vue ListView, make sure that you have a running Vue project. The easiest way to set up a Vue project is to use the approach described in the [Set up the Vue project](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/getting-started/javascript-composition-api#1-set-up-the-vue-project) section of the [First Steps with JavaScript ](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/getting-started/javascript-composition-api) article.

## Installing the ListView Package

All Kendo UI for Vue packages are distributed through npm and offer a similar installation experience. To use the ListView component, start with the installation of the ListView npm package and its [dependencies](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/listview/get-started#dependencies). Use Node.js v5.0.0 or later.

```sh
npm install --save @progress/kendo-vue-listview @progress/kendo-licensing @progress/kendo-svg-icons
```

## Importing the Component

After installing the package, import the ListView component and the `products` data in the Vue App.

In the `src/App.vue` file of your Vue project, import the `ListView` component from the ListView package.

```jsx
// ES2015 module syntax
import { ListView } from "@progress/kendo-vue-listview";
```

```jsx
// CommonJS format
const { ListView } = require('@progress/kendo-vue-listview');
```

## Using the Component

1. Import the `products` data in the `src/App.vue` file.

   ```jsx
       import products from './products.json';
   ```

2. Add the ListView component in the `App` component.

   ```jsx
   <ListView
       :style="{ width: '100%', height: '600px' }"
       :data-items="products"
       :item="'myItem'"
   >
   </ListView>
   ```

3. Create and add inside the ListBox definition, the `myItem` slot template responsible for rendering each ListView item.

   ```jsx
   <template #myItem="{ props }">
     <div
       class="k-listview-item"
       :style="{ padding: '10px', borderBottom: '1px solid lightgrey' }"
     >
       {{ props.dataItem.ProductName }}
     </div>
   </template>
   ```

4. To style the ListView, install and import the [Meridian theme](https://www.telerik.com/design-system/docs/themes/kendo-themes/meridian/), which is one of the [five beautiful themes](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/styling) for Kendo UI for Vue.

   1. Install the Meridian theme package.

      ```sh
      npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-meridian
      ```

   2. Import the Theme package in `src/App.vue`..

      ```jsx
      import '@progress/kendo-theme-meridian';
      ```

5. Build, run and test the application by typing the following command in the root folder of your project:

   ```sh
   npm run dev
   ```

## Activating Your License Key

Using any of the UI components in the Kendo UI for Vue library requires either a commercial license key or an active trial license key.

Follow the instructions on the [My License page](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/my-license) to activate your trial or commercial license. You can skip this step if your application already contains a Kendo UI for Vue license file.

## Dependencies

The ListView package requires you to install the following [peer dependencies](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/npm/peer-dependencies/) in your application:

| Package Name              | Description                                                    |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| vue 3.0.0+                | Contains the functionality necessary to define Vue components. |
| @progress/kendo-licensing | Contains the internal infrastructure related to licensing.     |
