I installed the Vue Social Chat module into my Nuxt app and having trouble to understand how the props and color setting work. At present everything works fine, although the whatsapp Icon displayed is black as well as the top bar situated inside the speech bubble. How would I go about changing this in Nuxt. The author says to use css variables, but I have no idea where to put these and how to use them in my code.
Nuxt also does not have an App.vue so i just imported the module directly which seems to work but I am not sure I am doing it correctly.
This is what my current default.vue page looks like. I do not import the module any place else.
<template>
<v-app dark>
<v-main>
<Nuxt />
</v-main>
<div>
<SocialChat
icon
:attendants="attendants"
>
<p slot="header" >Chat to us on whatsapp for any question, or sales related topics.</p>
<template v-slot:button>
<img
src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ktquez/vue-social-chat/master/src/icons/whatsapp.svg"
alt="icon whatsapp"
aria-hidden="true"
>
</template>
<small slot="footer">Opening hours: 8am to 6pm</small>
</SocialChat>
</div>
</v-app>
</template>
<script>
import { SocialChat } from 'vue-social-chat'
export default {
name: 'DefaultLayout',
components: {
SocialChat
},
data() {
return {
attendants: [
{
app: 'whatsapp',
label: '',
name: '',
number: '',
avatar: {
src: '',
alt: ''
}
},
// ...
],
}
},
}
</script>
<style>
.container {
max-width: 1200px;
}
</style>
This is mainly what is needed overall
<template>
<div class="layout">
<nuxt />
<social-chat id="social-button" icon :attendants="attendants">
<p slot="header">
Click on one of our attendants below to chat on WhatsApp.

<template #button>
<img

aria-hidden="true"

</template>
<small slot="footer">Opening hours: 8am to 6pm</small>
</social-chat>
</div>

<script>
import { SocialChat } from 'vue-social-chat'
export default {

<style>
:root #social-button {

--vsc-outline-color: #333;
--vsc-border-color-bottom-header: teal;
--vsc-border-color-top-footer: #f3f3f3;
}
</style>
Instead of :root #social-button CSS selector, we may have used --vsc-bg-button: pink !important; too but I don't like to nuke CSS specificity.
Also, the style can be scoped but there is no really implication here anyway because you will not get any scoping issue here.
