I want to add a background image that covers the whole page. However this is how it looks now :

I want it to span the whole web page. How would this be done in vue.js?

I also want an animated toolbar so that when the page is not scrolling the toolbar is transparent and takes the look of the background image. When it scrolls the toolbar will have the current blue color

Here is my fiddle

vue.js project

THIS is the HTML

<template>
  <div id = "background">

            <div class = "" id = "explain">

                   <h1 class = "md-title">{{ message }}</h1>

                   <h3> Collect, analyse  and do better with data!</h3>

            </div>
<hr>
<md-layout id = "container">

  </div>

</template>

THIS is the CSS

<style scoped>

h1 {
  font-family: Helvetica neue;
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: 400;
  font-size: 49px;
  line-height: 1.1em;
  font-family: Heiti SC;
}

h2 {
  font-family: Helvetica neue;
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: 600;
  font-size: 19px;
}

h3 {
  font-family: Helvetica neue;
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: 300;
  font-size: 19px;
}

h4 {
  font-family: Helvetica neue;
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: 300;
  font-size: 19px;
}

#Identity > .md-layout {
  /*background-color: lightgrey;*/
  border-color: black;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  /*border-style: dotted;*/
  border-width: 1px;
  padding: 8px;
  font-weight: 200;
  font-size: 20px;
  line-height: 1.4em;
}

span {
  font-family: Helvetica neue;
}

THIS is the css syntax for rendering the background.

 #background {
      background: url(../../assets/whiteCoffeedarken.jpg);
    }

#container > .md-layout {
  /*background-color: lightgrey;*/
  border-color: black;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  /*border-style: dotted;*/
  border-width: 1px;
  padding: 8px;
}


</style>

I do not agree with the comments. This is actually a true question about Vue.js. :)

You are using single file components, so I suppose you created your project with vue-cli and the webpack template...

If you open your Vue.js devtools, you can inspect your components. This is particularly handy to determine their visual limits.

All components, including App.vue, are injected into your index.html and have, to some extent, an independent existence. So if you want to set a full background image for the body, not just for a specific component inside of it, you have two main options:

Create a static stylesheet
Put your style rules in App.vue

Static stylesheet

Create a style.css file and put it in the static folder. Here, it will not be processed by Webpack. In this file, you could have the following code:

body {
  background-image: url('background.jpg');
}

Open your index.html and include your stylesheet:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/style.css">

Style rules in `App.vue`

With this solution, you can put the following code in the style section of App.vue:

body {
  background-image: url('background.jpg');
}

However, you have to remove the scoped attribute!

The explanation is in the vue-loader documentation:

When a tag has the scoped attribute, its CSS will apply to elements of the current component only.
