# BlogPosts

> Display a list of blog posts in a responsive grid layout.

## Usage

The BlogPosts component provides a flexible layout to display a list of [BlogPost](/docs/components/blog-post) components using either the default slot or the `posts` prop.

```vue
<template>
  <UBlogPosts>
    <UBlogPost
      v-for="(post, index) in posts"
      :key="index"
      v-bind="post"
    />
  </UBlogPosts>
</template>
```

### Posts

Use the `posts` prop as an array of objects with the properties of the [BlogPost](/docs/components/blog-post#props) component.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { BlogPostProps } from '@nuxt/ui'
</script>

<template>
  <UBlogPosts />
</template>
```

### Orientation

Use the `orientation` prop to change the orientation of the BlogPosts. Defaults to `horizontal`.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { BlogPostProps } from '@nuxt/ui'
</script>

<template>
  <UBlogPosts orientation="vertical" />
</template>
```

> [!TIP]
> When using the `posts` prop instead of the default slot, the `orientation` of the posts is automatically reversed, `horizontal` to `vertical` and vice versa.

## Examples

> [!NOTE]
> While these examples use [Nuxt Content](https://content.nuxt.com), the components can be integrated with any content management system.

### Within a page

Use the BlogPosts component in a page to create a blog page:

```vue [pages/blog/index.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
const { data: posts } = await useAsyncData('posts', () => queryCollection('posts').all())
</script>

<template>
  <UPage>
    <UPageHero title="Blog" />

    <UPageBody>
      <UContainer>
        <UBlogPosts>
          <UBlogPost
            v-for="(post, index) in posts"
            :key="index"
            v-bind="post"
            :to="post.path"
          />
        </UBlogPosts>
      </UContainer>
    </UPageBody>
  </UPage>
</template>
```

> [!NOTE]
> In this example, the `posts` are fetched using `queryCollection` from the `@nuxt/content` module.

> [!TIP]
> The `to` prop is overridden here since `@nuxt/content` uses the `path` property.
