What is it?
AdminLTE is an admin dashboard template built on Bootstrap 5.3 and vanilla JavaScript, with no jQuery dependency. It provides a responsive layout that adapts from mobile screens to desktops, along with dark mode and RTL support, so developers can start a back-office interface without designing the layout from scratch.
The v4 line ships a set of demo pages covering common application needs, including calendar, kanban, chat, file manager, mailbox, multi-step wizard forms, data tables built on Tabulator, profile and settings pages, and error pages. Theming is handled through Bootstrap's data-bs-theme attribute, and an opt-in stylesheet adds extra color presets.
The project can be used via CDN, npm (admin-lte@4) or Composer. Official editions for React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Angular, Laravel, Django, Symfony, ASP.NET Core and Drupal are maintained in separate repositories.
