Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Use as a starting point for a back-office admin panel with login, role-based permissions, and multi-level sidebar already wired up.

USE CASE 2

Add charts, rich-text editors, and drag-and-drop tables to your admin app without building those components yourself.

USE CASE 3

Simulate API responses with the built-in mock server so front-end work can proceed without a real backend.

USE CASE 4

Export dashboard data to Excel or PDF directly from the template.

In plain English

This is a starter template for building web-based admin dashboards using Vue.js and TypeScript. It provides a pre-built set of screens, components, and navigation patterns that developers can use as the foundation for an internal tool or back-office application, rather than building everything from scratch. The template is a TypeScript rewrite of a well-known JavaScript admin template called vue-element-admin. It uses the Element UI component library for its visual building blocks and Vue CLI 3 as the build system. A live demo and documentation site are both linked in the README. Out of the box it includes login and logout flows, role-based permission controls (including two-step login), a sidebar navigation system that supports multiple levels of nesting, and internationalization support for multiple languages. The dashboard also includes rich text, Markdown, and JSON editors, file upload and drag-and-drop components, charts via ECharts, and table components that support inline editing, dragging rows, and dynamic columns. For data handling during development, all API responses are simulated using a mock server included in the project, so you can build the front-end without needing a real backend. The project also supports exporting data to Excel files, generating PDFs, and compressing files to zip format. Setup follows a standard Node.js workflow: install dependencies with yarn, run a local development server, and build for production. It supports modern browsers and Internet Explorer 10 and above. The project is MIT licensed. This is a developer starting point, not an end-user product.
