Problem with styles not looking quite right when using web components

General

Hi,
I have a fairly standard web project. Problem is that the spacing of the components is off. See screen shot:

Here are the relevant files. What am I doing wrong please?

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8" />
		<link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/vite.svg" />
		<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
		<title>My App</title>
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="./src/index.css" />
		<script type="module" src="/src/index.ts"></script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<vaadin-app-layout primary-section="drawer">
			<h1 slot="drawer">My App</h1>
			<vaadin-scroller slot="drawer" class="p-s">
				<vaadin-side-nav>
					<vaadin-side-nav-item path="/dashboard">

						Dashboard

				</vaadin-horizontal-layout>

				</vaadin-horizontal-layout>
			</vaadin-vertical-layout>
		</vaadin-app-layout>
	</body>
</html>

I was hoping to see something more akin to the spacing seen in the documentation site:

Those are Lumo utility classes; those are missing / not applied. Sadly I can’t help you to get them working in a plain project without Flow.

Thanks very much @knoobie. Are Vaadin components only supposed to be used with Flow? :cry: Is there anyone else here that can help, or should I raise a request on the github repo? Thank you.

They can be used standalone, but there is a different between the components and Lumo utility css classes. @marcushellberg might have an idea how to apply those to a JS project… not my cup of tea

You can use the following import to enable using Lumo utility classes globally:

import '@vaadin/vaadin-lumo-styles/utility-global.js
