In plain English

iView Admin is a starter template for building web-based admin dashboards and management panels. It is built with Vue.js 2 and the iView UI toolkit (a library of pre-styled components). The idea is to give developers a complete, pre-wired admin panel to start from rather than building all the common admin features from scratch. The template ships with a substantial set of ready-to-use features as listed in the README. Authentication: login and logout flows with permission-based access control, including the ability to switch between permission levels. Internationalization (i18n) support for multiple languages. A variety of pre-built components: a rich text editor, a Markdown editor, a city cascader (a chained dropdown for selecting geographic regions), photo preview and editing, draggable lists, file upload, and a split-pane layout. Table utilities include drag-and-drop row sorting, searchable data tables, and exporting table data to CSV or Excel format. Standard admin UI elements are also included: breadcrumb navigation, a sidebar that can be collapsed, tag-based browser-style navigation tabs, a full-screen toggle, a lock-screen feature, a message center, and a personal profile area. Standard error pages for 403, 404, and 500 HTTP status codes are included as well. The tech stack is Vue.js 2, iView UI components, Vuex (Vue's state management library), and axios (a library for making HTTP requests). Getting started requires cloning the repo, running npm install, and then npm run dev for local development.
