Solving the Underline Issue for Font in VUE Routes with Bootstrap

Are you facing an annoying issue where the font in your VUE project routes is underlined after integrating Bootstrap? This issue can crop up unexpectedly, especially when you've used Vuetify seamlessly before. In this guide, we'll address the problem and walk you through a simple yet effective solution to get rid of those unwanted underlines without cluttering your code with numerous classes.

Understanding the Problem

When you integrate Bootstrap into your VUE project, alongside Vuetify, you might notice that all the text links and icons in your routes are automatically underlined. This is not something you encountered while using Vuetify alone, leading to confusion and extra work.

Key Points:

VUE version: 2.6.14

Bootstrap version: 4.6.1

Bootstrap-Vue version: 2.21.2

Vuetify version: 2.6.0

This underline effect is a default behavior of the Bootstrap library, which can be frustrating if you're aiming for a cleaner look.

The Solution: Custom CSS

Fortunately, there is a straightforward way to resolve this issue without going through every route and adding classes. The approach involves creating a custom CSS file that overrides Bootstrap's default styling.

Step-by-Step Guide

Identify the Issue: Understand that Bootstrap applies text-decoration: underline to links by default. You can check this by analyzing the imported Bootstrap-Vue CSS file.

Create a Global CSS File: Instead of modifying every single route, you can create a single CSS file to override Bootstrap's default styles.

For example, create a file named bootstrapGlobal.css.

Add the Necessary CSS Rule: In your bootstrapGlobal.css, include the following code to remove the underline from links:

This rule targets all anchor (<a>) elements that are not buttons and applies text-decoration: none, effectively removing the underlining.

Import Your Global CSS File: Ensure that your new CSS file is imported in your main JavaScript file, typically main.js or App.vue, after importing Bootstrap. Here’s how it might look:

Additional Changes

If in the future, you encounter other Bootstrap defaults that you need to override, simply add them to this global CSS file. This prevents the need for repetitive modifications throughout your VUE project.

Conclusion

By following the steps detailed above, you can effectively remove the unwanted underlines from your VUE project routes when using Bootstrap. This solution keeps your code clean and easy to manage, allowing you to focus on building your application rather than dealing with frustrating styling issues.

Happy coding! If you found this tip helpful, feel free to share it with others facing the same problem.
