      display: flex;
      align-items: center;

      max-height: 100vh;
    }
    
    .number-slide1 {
      background: rgb(64, 175, 255);
      background: linear-gradient(
        128deg,
        rgba(64, 175, 255, 1) 0%,
        rgba(63, 97, 255, 1) 100%
      );
    }
    
    .number-slide2 {
      background: rgb(255, 75, 64);
      background: linear-gradient(
        128deg,

  4. Add the component anywhere you want
    <template>
      <KeenSlider />
    </template>
    

That's it! You can now use Nuxt Keen Slider in your Nuxt app ✨


!NOTE OPTIONAL I have seen absolute 0 CLS, maximum performance by wrapping the Slider component with ClientOnly.
Seems to stop working if the component is created with .client.vue extension.
You could try the same if you are having Lighthouse/PageSpeed score issues and you are aiming for maximum performance.

Remember, this could not work depending on use case.

<template>
  <ClientOnly>
    <KeenSlider />
  </ClientOnly>
</template>
