What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Spin up a working internal admin dashboard with login, role-based permissions, and CRUD pages in hours instead of weeks.

USE CASE 2

Use the built-in code generator to automatically scaffold backend API routes and frontend list and form pages for a new database table.

USE CASE 3

Build a CRM or back-office management tool using the pre-built user management, menu system, and file upload components as a foundation.

USE CASE 4

Connect an AI model via the built-in MCP server to add AI-assisted features directly inside your admin panel.

In plain English

Gin-Vue-Admin is a full-stack web admin panel starter framework, a ready-made foundation developers can use to build internal business management systems (dashboards, back-office tools, CRMs, etc.) without coding all the boilerplate from scratch. The README is primarily in Chinese, with an English version available. The backend is built with Gin (a fast Go web framework), and the frontend with Vue 3 and Element Plus (a popular component library for Vue). Pre-built features include JWT authentication (a standard method for secure logins), role-based permission management using Casbin (a flexible authorization library), dynamic menus and routing (menus that automatically adjust based on what permissions a user has), a code generator (which automatically generates basic CRUD, Create, Read, Update, Delete, backend and frontend code from a configuration), a form builder, file upload and download, multi-login detection, and configurable data import/export. AI assistance is also built in, with an MCP server for connecting AI models to the project. The database layer uses MySQL with GORM (a Go ORM, a tool that lets you work with databases using Go objects instead of raw SQL), and Redis for caching. Documentation is auto-generated via Swagger. Chinese-speaking Go and Vue developers use this as a starting point for enterprise administration platforms, skipping weeks of repetitive setup. It requires Go 1.22 and Node 18 and is licensed under Apache 2.0.
