After [rebuilding Drupals Bartik theme](/blog/rebuilding-bartik-with-vuejs-tailwind-css), Ive now used [Vue.js][vue] and [Tailwind CSS][tailwind] to rebuild another Drupal related UI - this time its [Acquias](https://www.acquia.com) web hosting dashboard. Again, you can [view the site on Netlify][netlify] and [the code on GitHub][github].
## Why?
The same as the Bartik rebuild, this was a good opportunity for me to gain more experience with new technologies - Vue in particular - and to provide another demonstration of how Tailwind CSS can be used.
Like the Bartik clone, this was originally going to be another single page rebuild, however after completing the first page I decided to expand it to include three pages which also gave me the opportunity to use [Vue Router](https://router.vuejs.org) - something that I had not used previously - and to organise a multi-page Vue application.
## Configuring Vue Router
`src/router/index.js`:
```js
import Vue from 'vue'
import Router from 'vue-router'
import Applications from '@/views/Applications'
import Environment from '@/views/Environment'
import Environments from '@/views/Environments'
Vue.use(Router)
export default new Router({
routes: [
{
path: '/',
name: 'applications',
component: Applications,
},
{
path: '/:id/environments',
name: 'environments',
component: Environments,
props: true,
},
{
path: '/:id/environments/:environmentName',
name: 'environment',
component: Environment,
props: true,
}
]
})
```

## The Environments page
This was the first page that I rebuilt - the Environments page for an application that shows the information of the different configured environments.
Vue Router is configured to show the
