Usage
The following sections will teach you how to use it in .vue files (with both Composition API and Options API) and outside of them.
Composition API with <script setup>
The following is a .vue file:
<template>
<div>
<div v-if="$q.platform.is.ios">
Gets rendered only on iOS platform.
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { useQuasar } from 'quasar'
const $q = useQuasar()
console.log($q.platform.is.ios)
// showing an example on a method, but
// can be any part of Vue script
function show () {
// prints out Quasar version
console.log($q.version)
}
</script>
Composition API without <script setup>
The following is a .vue file:
<template>
<div>
<div v-if="$q.platform.is.ios">
Gets rendered only on iOS platform.
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { useQuasar } from 'quasar'
export default {
setup () {
const $q = useQuasar()
console.log($q.platform.is.ios)
// showing an example on a method, but
// can be any part of Vue script
function show () {
// prints out Quasar version
console.log($q.version)
}

The following is a .vue file:
<template>
<div>
<div v-if="$q.platform.is.ios">
Gets rendered only on iOS platform.
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
// not available here outside
// of the export
export default {
// inside a Vue component script
...,
