Laravel

The Laravel admin dashboard template: nineteen screens, MIT licensed, and a live demo at laravel.viliha.com you can click through before installing anything.

Prerequisites

PHP 8.2 or later, and Composer.

Install

git clone https://github.com/myviliha/free-laravel-admin-dashboard.git
cd free-laravel-admin-dashboard
composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
php artisan serve

The application starts on http://127.0.0.1:8000.

Scripts

No asset build

The stylesheet and the scripts ship compiled in public/vui. There is no Vite step to run before you can see the dashboard, and nothing to keep watching while you work on Blade.

The component library is Blade partials

resources/views/vui is around sixty partials, and resources/views/components/vui-layout.blade.php is the layout the pages extend. To use them in an application you already have, copy three directories and no Composer package:

cp -r resources/views/vui         <your-app>/resources/views/
cp -r resources/views/components  <your-app>/resources/views/
cp -r public/vui                  <your-app>/public/

Then include what you need from any view:

<x-vui-layout title="Invoices">
  @include('vui.card')
  @include('vui.data-table')
</x-vui-layout>

The nineteen demo pages under resources/views/vui-pages are meant to be deleted once you have what you want from them.

It also exports to static HTML

Every route is a Route::view, so Blade renders a template and there is nothing for PHP to decide at request time. npm run build boots php artisan serve, asks it for each route in routes/web.php, and writes what Blade returns into dist/. That is how the demo is published to GitHub Pages, and it is why the published HTML is Blade's own output rather than a second copy of the markup.

The one rewrite it performs matters: Blade links with url('/alerts'), which renders an absolute URL including the host, so the export strips the origin to make the links root-relative and fails loudly if any page still names the build host.
